    You might want to consider posting your inquiry in the most applicable Be Communities forum -- in this particular case, the MicroStation V8 2004 Edition would probably be the best one... see http://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/microstation_…

    Just to clarify some points on this article: 

    It is possible for SnakeGrid to be a GCS that is installed in the AECOSim GCS library and related to an established datum (WGS84).  See this post for clarification on the HS2 SnakeGrid:  https://communities.bentley…
