Hello,
I am writing an Addin application in C# for Microstation CONNECT Edition and I want to ask if in those .NET libraries is any way to convert earth location (lat/long) to MS Dpoint3dt? If yes could you provide some example?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Piotr,

it's not clear what MicroStation CE version do you use. Please follow the best practices and specify the used version exactly (there have been 18 CE versions released so far).

Are you asking about conversion based on GCS defined for active model or your question is about a general conversion between CAD and geo coordinates?
In MicroStation, the question has been discussed several times (did you try to search this forum?).
In MicroStation Interop, GeoGraphicCoordinateSystem class is available, providing several conversion methods. I think there is no equivalent in new NET API (yet?).
With regards,

Hi Jan,
I updated topic title to match 'release update language' pattern.
As you mentioned I need conversion based on GCS defined for active model. I added reference to Bentley.Interop.MicroStationDGN.dll but it provides Interface for GeographicCoordinateSystem.
I added reference for following dll:
\MicroStation\assemblies\ECFramework\Bentley.General.1.0.dll\MicroStation\assemblies\bentley.interop.microstationdgn.dll\MicroStation\assemblies\bentley.microstation.dll\MicroStation\assemblies\bentley.microstation.interfaces.1.0.dll\MicroStation\ustation.dll\MicroStation\Bentley.DgnPlatformNET.dll\MicroStation\Bentley.GeometryNET.dll.dll\MicroStation\Bentley.GeometryNET.Structs.dll
I can't find GCS class in any of them.

Why "but"?
I did not test it, but I am pretty sure it's what you need (and the only what is available in NET API).
