Hi All,
I'm having an issue exporting DGN to Google Earth. I red all the other forums and did what others said as using the Geographic Coordinate System. I'm choosing the correct GCS but the line work doesn't come up in the exact place. It is usually shifted to the left 20-30ft.
I found a solution by using placemarks, but since I work in Road projects I have to place a lot of placemarks and it is time consuming.
The easiest way is just using the GCS from the library. Maybe I'm doing something wrong here.
Anyone out there that can help?
Thanks!
See if the following suggestions might be helpful:

If are using geographic coordinate system instead of placemarks you need to make sure it is active in the auxiliary coordinate dialog.
As you can see from above that just because the GCS is attached does not mean the coordinates are active.
To activate simply double click on the GCS in the dialog.
Hi azamat, How was your data within the DGN file created? What Gcs was used. Are you aware in detail of the accuracy and precision of your own data?

If you do not know this, you can not assume in a geographical precision that your own data is correct or precise enough to align withthe google data. And we do not know anything about the precision of the google data in your area, either.
