&lt;p&gt;To add a custom projection from an PRJ file:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Load the PRJ into a Geographic Coordinate System with the following keyin:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;MapCSUtilities ReadWKT &amp;lt;filespec&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For example:&amp;nbsp; MapCSUtilities ReadWKT C:\Temp\2462.prj&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This keyin will replace an existing GCS without prompting you to reproject or to change the storage units. Once it will become the active GCS,&amp;nbsp;take a screen shot of the parameters, and fill this into your custom GCS.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that the&amp;nbsp;datum must exist in GCS library. The WKT Command will first look for an equivalent datum and if found it will be displayed saying that the command succeeded, else it will show failed command message.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you want to create new datum , please refer to:&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://communities.bentley.com/products/geospatial/desktop/w/geospatial_desktop__wiki/9002.add-datum-andor-ellipsoid" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;communities.bentley.com/.../9002.add-datum-andor-ellipsoid&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note :&amp;nbsp;The keyin&amp;nbsp;does not accept spaces, special characters in the folder name.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-size: 90%;"&gt;Tags: datum, geographic coordinate system&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Problem:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How to add a custom Projection from an ESRI .PRJ file?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Solution:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Load a prj file into a GCS via a keyin in BentleyMap.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration:underline;"&gt;Key-in: MapCSUtilities ReadWKT &amp;lt;filespec&amp;gt;&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;for e.g. MapCSUtilities ReadWKT C:\Temp\2462.prj&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;This Key-in will replace an existing GCS without prompting the user to reproject or to change the storage units. Once it will become the active GCS, then take a screen shot of the parameters, and fill this into your Custom GCS.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note :&amp;nbsp;Key in does not accept spaces, special characters in the folder name.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="font-size: 90%;"&gt;Tags: #Coordinate System #WKT #kEYIN #PRJ #CustomProjection&lt;/div&gt;
