    You can use Bing Maps content as a live raster;

     

    To Attach Bing Maps

    Go to Create a Bing Maps key and obtain a Bing Maps Key.

    1. Create a new configuration variable named MS_RASTER_BINGMAP_KEY and put your Bing Maps Key in the New Value field.
    2. Save the new variable, then close MicroStation and open a new session.
    3. Open the Raster Manager dialog and then select File > Attach > Bing Maps.     

    The Raster Attachments Options dialog opens.

    1. Select the desired Bing Maps Layers type and then click Attach.

     

    Steps to Accomplish

    After obtaining the key

    Create a new configuration variable named "MS_RASTER_BINGMAP_KEY" and give it the value of your

    Bing Maps key. Example, "abcdefGhiJklmnop_qrstuvwXyz".

     

    Save the variable then close and reopen Your Bentley Software

     

    Go to File > Attach > Bing Maps… in the Raster Manager dialog box.

    The "Raster Attachments Options" dialog opens.

    There are three options to choose from layers

    • Road: a cartographic type map with roads and place names

    • Aerial: aerial photography of the earth

    • Aerial with labels: a hybrid of aerial photography and roads and place names

     

    You could also use the keyins >

    raster attach fixed http://www.bing.com/maps/road

    raster attach fixed http://www.bing.com/maps/aerial

    raster attach fixed http://www.bing.com/maps/aerialwithlabels

    Beginning with the MicroStation CONNECT Edition, Update 7 Bing Maps are available as a Background image, which does not require a Bing Maps key.
