What is the Current Best Methods Practice for Converting a Power InRoads SS2 XIN to an OpenRoads Designer Element Template Library?

You can install an Inroads SS4 and move your SS2 settings in SS4 then in OpenRoads:

• create a new DGNLIB
• import (if you have one) levels dgnlib. If you are using named symbologie, you can export to csv, transform the csv, import csv usig the level manager to create all levels from named symbologie.
• open your XIN file
• go to the style manager and right click on the list of features (filter only "surface" as only surface will be converted) to export as XML
• Then import the XML using the template manager
• Then import the XIN file to create feature definitions.

Now you can run OpenRoads Designer and open the dgnlib to convert it. Of course there is some additional cleanup/management.

You can find some very useful videos on the Learn Server (use Connect Advisor)
