Using Microstation V8i and GEOPAK to auto-generate linework from survey data using linking codes
Hello,
I recently asked a similar question to this, but have refined what I'm looking for a little bit better:
I'm trying to apply storm sewer survey data (either a .csv file or .txt file with X and Y coordinates, elevation, and linking codes for…

RE: Project Explorer Survey Tab
I know this is confusing. The drop down is for initiating a "legacy" version of Geopak Survey. The Project Explorer tab is only relevant to OpenRoads survey workflow. These are two very different applications. Legacy Geopak Survey operates using an external…
RE: FBK import to Open Roads survey version SS4
This an example of the 2d traverse routine in geopak. Are you familiar with the command line syntax of classic cogo? The only adjustment available is compass rule. If you are running network or 3d traverse I would run it through Open Roads survey.
Control Editor
Hello,
I have uploaded a few datasets from .raw files into a drawing only to realize a few of the control coordinates I used to import the data needed to be adjusted. Is there a way using control editor, or something like it, to adjust the topo data…

SS3 - Multiple Project Settings (Survey) being stored in file
I have not noticed this prior to the .722 release and can't confirm that is the cause, but here is my situation: Upon opening a file more than once a second set of survey settings is being created but not with my custom settings, and it can't be deleted…

Create 3d by slope to target not working as expected. I am applying the tool to a 3d line that is in cut. I want the slope be -1% to the existing terrain. It always ties to the existing terrain at a positive slope. It does…
Unable to update Database files
We are using the Navigator to make point and chain edits in Microstation. The changes are visualized on the screen and are reflected in the GPK file. When we try to update the OBS and XYZ file using the UPDATE OBS AND XYZ command, we do not get updated…
Data Acquisition Plot Scales
I am setting up the new Data Acquisition tool in SS1, and am having issues controling the plot scale of points, cells, and line styles. I have exported my SMD to XML and am using that for a style file. Here's how the SMD file was setup:
All cells…
Annotation Scale in PowerCivil GeoPak
Has anyone had success getting this to work in SS2. Thought it might be fixed by this version. Had it working with text, cells, points, etc., then maximised the view and now instead of 50 scale the elements are 600 scale, i.e. 12 x 50. what happened?…

GEOPAK Survey changing project preferences in V8i
When I open a survey project (that works fine in V8 2004 and V8 XM) in V8i, the project preferences get changed. For instance, on the project tab, the directory was left blank, but in V8i it is filled in with the User's description. Also, on the Dataset…

Geopak Survey
Any chance of adding Cross Section Navigator to future versions of Geopak Survey? We find that the surveyors would use this tool often if it was included in Survey.
Geopak Survey Chain Edit Duplication
When editing chains in Geopak Survey, the old geometry in the CAD file remains in the drawing, AND the revised chain is drawn in. This forces the user to manually delete the old chain in the drawing after making edits. This used to happen automatically…
