These files come in correctley in ESRI ArcMap and in the correct coordinate system, but when I try and bring them into Microstation in the raster manager I recieve the following error.
"The file type is not supported - [13]"
Typically when I bring in a raster all that is required is a few supporting files which are there. I initial thought that the data had been corrupted in the process of being transferred to me so I had it resent, but that is not the case either. Does anyone have any idea how to remedy this? I also tried using ArcGis to export the .sid files to many different file formats (.tiff, jpeg, etc.) all with the same error message.
Hi,
My first guess would be that the MrSID file has been generated in a version of the MrSID file format not yet supported by MicroStation, but that wouldn`t explain why you got the same error when converting to different file formats.
I cannot find your dataset on our FTP site.
Note that we have a new secure file upload service (see communities.bentley.com/.../be-communities-secure-file-upload.aspx) which might be more appropriate.
Could you try to upload your dataset again and post the exact name of the file(s) you uploaded (i.e. : we receive a lot of files and there is no way currently to know who uploaded what).
Thanks,
Mathieu
I just checked the name of the uploaded file is d_04d.zip.
Ok I installed the MG4 Plugin for ArcGIS 10 and now I`m able to see your MrSID with ArcGIS. Your MrSID contains 5 bands, 3 RGB bands and not sure about the other 2 bands. The fact that it contains 5 bands is what makes the conversion solution failing since Raster Manager is, in most case, not able to deal with multiband imagery.
One case that did work thougth is with the file format JP2. If you convert your file in JP2 you should be able to be able to attach the JP2 afterward in MicroStation. I suspect that it did work because the JP2 file format is less flexible then the TIFF or Erdas IMG file formats.

Could you post your setting you used for exporting to an .jp2? I am not very familiar with ArcMap and primarily use it as a means to an end when I have to.
When I attempted dping this I got the following error message:
"Unable to create a valid coordinate system for: ....."
Element off Design Plane
I didn't use ArcMap, I used ArcCatalog with the default parameters, aside the extension of the file that I changed for jp2.

I was able to do the following steps and create a TIF image that could be attached in MicroStation > Raster Manager.
1. Launch the program GeoViewer (a free download from www.lizardtech.com).
2. Go to File > Add Layer > Local Layer to bring in the image.
3. Tools > Export > Export Map
