Geographic coordinate systems

I am usually working with ArcGIS, which has geographic coordinate systems to convert to/from. Is there any way to assign a geographic coordinate system to Microstation data (or is this the use for the Geopak)?

I would say that is a job for Geographics, which is one of the extensions you can add to your MicroStation. Geopak is for civil design.

This functionality is in Geographics and in BentleyMap (which is a wholly rewritten and thoroughly improved version of Geographics for use with XM)

BG3075:

The projection management capabilities you speak of are avaialble today in the XM releases in the product Bentley Map. In the upcoming Athens release of MicroStation, this capability has been moved to core MicroStation! This will allow you to spatially reference all of your design content.

Where in athens is this feature or toggle located? I tried exporting a model to google but it was off a couple of miles and got an error message saying co-ordinates weren't specifed, microstation set default co-ordinates (or Projection?).

In Microstation Athens, the coordinate system tools are located in the Tools\Geographic menu.
