[V8i] Attach UGSG Imagery WMS?

I am trying to make a WMS connection to the USGS Imagery server, and I have no idea what I am doing wrong. My WMSX file seems to connect to SOMETHING, but there are no images to be seen, no layers that mean anything. Can someone help me? Or share their WMSX file, if you have one that works?

I am using PowerGeopak SS10, and I have PowerInroads available as well. But I believe this should be a plain MicroStation function, so I'm posting here. Thank you.

  • It downloads response XML but for some reason shows error in Microstation v8i and in CONNECT returns version 1.3.0 even that asked for 1.1.1.

    The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a send.

    Somehow managed to create xWMS files for 1.1.1 version so try it out. Workaround is to upload WMSserver response to some static web page so it can be retrieved by Microstation. Actually it would be much easier if we had just a XML stylesheet to create xWMS from WMS GetCapablities response without using Microstation half-baked WMS editor.
