Dgn app for Android

Anyone anything please? Hope this is right section of the portal as link from within Map app leads to nowhere. (well done again Bentley)

You can add a coordinate system to your DGN file using the Coordinate Systemtools (Drawing > Utilities > GeoGraphic > Coordinate System). A coordinate system is required to transform the DGN file to WGS84.

Moved this post to the MicroStation Forum, as the main question is what apps may be available to view Design Files on an Android device?

does anyone know some working app for Android which can correctly display dng files?

as far as I know, there is no Android application supporting DGN format natively. At least none from Bentley, because as interchange and mobile format, i-model is always used.

If you do not want to use i-model, an option is to convert file to DWG and to use some from available DWG viewers.

After converting DGN file to it, I´m getting "Map has no geocoordinate data" message....

Yes, because it's expected that every "geo DGN" has alwayas GCS assigned ;-)

As Kees van Prooijen [Bentley] wrote, you can assign GCS to a model in MicroStation easily. I guess it should be some from S-JTSK systems, which is EPSG:102067 or EPSG:5514.

I think there is no special "mobile forum". When Map Mobile is discussed, to use OpenCities Map forum is recommended.

In general, Bentley's target is to support iModel, through iModel Hub, based on iTwin.js technology, on all devices. But offline support is currently listed as planned feature, even though I assume to use web browser on table should be no problem when table is connected.

From Bentley there is no such app. Better convert to PDF or DWG.

You can try online service which converts to imodel but it is not instantly - https://review.itwin.bentley.com/home

No real workflow exists yet as Bentley share allows to view PDF only and DGN files are not viewable there.
