Importing 12D models to PowerCivil

Question

Hi 
 I have been trying to import either of the attached files. The &ldquo;.txt&rdquo; file is known as a &ldquo;Geneo&rdquo; file from 12D and is a replica of the &ldquo;.12da&rdquo; file. 
 I can import the text file as a surface but it doesn&rsquo;t bring with it the string information of the model such as the centre lines and break lines and symbology. 
 All of this information is recorded in the 12.da file and can be seen if opened as a text file. I dont mind using MX, inRoads, Microstation Connect edition or PowerCivil if that helps to get the model from 12D --> PowerCivil. 
 Any help importing this sort of information would be appreciated.

Use MX to get the GENIO data into MX. You can then draw the relevant strings, and 'Import from Native' to get the MX strings into OpenRoads entities. These OpenRoads entities can then be opened in PowerCivil, and I would then 'Export to native' to get the data into PowerCivil (if you need the centrelines in PowercCIvil - rather than working with the OpenRoads toolset.)
