Geo Coordinate missing

Hi (Bentley), 

Can you add a GEO coordinate ERTF89 UTM sone 32

And is there a way to do this manually inside MicroStation?

Thanks in advance

  • Thats fine but there is northing I can find in the help where  or how you get the actual numbers to edit the datum...

    I remember in V8i I save an article that you can manually re-register  known points  and maybe create something of a correction but its still not a new datum...

    Maybe buy global mapper (GIS pakage) license is <$900 AUD import with your current recognised datum and transform to missing datum then export to DGN (rename  your model  ERTF89 UTM zone 32 .. then  only work in world coincident...

    But I agree that its not good enough bentley should give use a FREE tool or utility  to make datums in Microstation  or  take requests and  put new ones in a repository for users to download...

    Mean while try the GIS forum and some kind soul may make it for you in their Bentley  Map can only ask right?

    But I still don't see why Bentley cant take requests and make it for you to add from a repository then they only need make it once per missing datum... not asking for local datums made by a surveyor for a one off survey but World  recognised datums like EPSG

    Quick google search tells me its a europe datum and the equivalent is  EPSG 25832  ( with E, N) or 5652 ( with  variant N,E) for  Northern Europe...

    Look here  https://spatialreference.org/

    found your datum and here is the content  of the prj file

    PROJCS["ETRS89 / UTM zone 32N",GEOGCS["ETRS89",DATUM["D_ETRS_1989",SPHEROID["GRS_1980",6378137,298.257222101]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]],PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator"],PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",0],PARAMETER["central_meridian",9],PARAMETER["scale_factor",0.9996],PARAMETER["false_easting",500000],PARAMETER["false_northing",0],UNIT["Meter",1]]

    but how and what you copy to make a new bentley datum is above my pay grade...

  • Quick google search tells me its a europe datum and the equivalent is  EPSG 25832 

    But that is the answer and  this GCS is available in  Microstation IMHO.

    As a German I think the original Post does mean ETRF89 UTM Zone 32, practically the same as ETRS89 UTM Zone 32. Available in V8i and I think in MS CE, too.

    https://epsg.io/25832

    It is the standard reference system for the European Union and it is used with the UTM projection by almost every federal German Land Surveying Agencies.

    The connected vertical datum NN2000 to ETRS89(horizontal) , the Norwegian "Norway Normal Null 2000" height  system wasn't  on "my screen", so Ron's answer seems to be right.
