I was having some difficulties in version 10.09.00.91 doing what I thought would be an easy task. Have a file with a single geometry line and some points I want to convert to Lat/Long in DMS to make it easy for a regulator to copy and paste into their form. Design file is in CA83-VIF (zone6) and the file I am pointing it to is in a geographic coordinate system, I tried a few but they all seemed to Strech out the design file and the single geometry line was expanded far beyond the footprint of the terrain.
It did however display the correct DMS in the bottom right after I used a key-in command, but the ACCUdraw was displaying some other values for the coordinates that did not align with either coordinate system. I ended up just converting a few points of interest in CorpsCon6, but the output is in decimals and not DMS. Just trying to avoid manual conversions here so any recommendations would be appreciated.
While I can't speak to any reprojection issues that you see, You may be able to change your coordinate readout (design file settings) to DMS to get that portion of the output the way you want.
What Lat/Long GCS are you using?
Microstation CONNECT is also up to version 17, so it could be a bug in the older version. That wouldn't surprise me.

Hello,
HARN/CA.LL EPSG 4152
for the coordinate readout, I changed the angle settings under design file settings to DD MM SS as the format, but for the master working units, I can only set two units, I chose degrees and seconds
I don't know if this would help you, but I did find this article which could be helpful.
You also may be able to reproject a copy of your original data to your Lat/Long GCS directly, following the procedure in this article.
Beyond that, I'm not sure. Hopefully someone with a deeper knowledge of GCS/reprojection will have more accurate suggestions.
