I need your help regarding some issues I have and I hope you could help me resolving them.
My issues are regarding the use of report and I am struggling…
GeoReferencing
When MicroStation is aware of the geographic location of the data in a model, it can very conveniently reference data that is also geographically aware. Because MicroStation knows the location and orientation of both models, it can calculate the coordinates…
Is it possible to create new custom CGS?
I work on a linear infrastructure project that uses a custom survey datums that closely resemble existing datums available in the Library with little adjustment offsets.
Is there anyway to edit the CGS in Microstation library to add new ones so our…
Background Map in OpenRoads
Hi, I need help. There is a project file in which (for some reasons) cannot define the GCS Coordinate System.
Is there any way in which I can put Background Maps into my file, without having GCS settings?
[CONNECT UPDATE 15 C++] Geographic Coordinate System - Center Point(0,0)
Hello,
I need to set center point(0,0) for specifc latitude and longidute ( N50:01:59.9 E08:34:13.64 ) .
To achive this I create new GCS and set the following properties.
pCus_GCS->SetStandardParallel1(DStdPrll);

Relationship between: File Settings > Working Units: (a) Linear Units vs (b) Advanced Settings Resolution vs (c) GCS defined units (Geographic Coordinate System)
Hey All,
Just wanted to ask if folks out there can define the 3 types of units of measure that are displayed in Design File Settings and GCS. Please define what the Linear Units are, the Advanced Settings Resolution units are, and what the GCS units…
Setting Up in the Real World – Generating real-world setting out coordinates
We have been asked how setting out coordinates for building components can be provided using real world coordinates, when we recommend modelling close to the Design File Origin. Recent enhancements to our Reports feature combined with knowledge from our…
- Clip reprojected image including Bing Maps
This tutorial will describe the steps needed to clip a reprojected image including Bing Maps.
By default reprojected images (including Bing Maps) cannot be clipped. The following workaround is recommended. In this example, the DGN is EPSG:26717 and…

Structure-scale Data
The first case, often used when designing buildings, stadiums, industrial plants, and other structures, is to use a coordinate system that is most convenient for the structure. In that case, the design team might elect to place…
[MicroStation V8i SS4] Bing maps incorrect rotation after applying helmert transformation
Using MicroStation v8i SS4 08.11.09.829.
I have a DGN file with a GCS in it. I am using a Helmert transformation to define a rotation of -4.7641666 degrees and a scale of 1:500000. The Helmert transformation parameters therefore become:
Helmert A…
[V8i SELECTseries 4 C++] Accessing Helmert transform parameters
When a Geographic Coordinate System is selected in a DGN file, it is possible to modify the GCS by defining Coordinate System Modifiers. One of the possible transformations is the Helmert transformation. I would like to know how to read or set these through…

Make Geographic Coordinate System coordinates available to Text Fields
A Geographic Coordinate System (GCS) provides a great way to impose a geographically-accurate coordinate system on your DGN model. The GCS has been part of MicroStation since V8 i , and continues in CONNECT. There's probably a GCS already available for…
[CONNECT C++] ECSchema GCS Coordinate Property
I want to annotate a point (e.g. a cell) with its coordinates in an associated text label. I can see in BaseElementSchema that an ECClass named MstnCellProperties has a property Origin . The origin is a point3d . Here's an image of what I mean: the blue…
