MGE Based Coordinate Systems

Many design files exist with Intergraph's MGE coordinate system definitions. A keyin has been provided to create a valid MicroStation coordinate system definition from an existing MGE definition.

MapCSUtilities ReadMGE "User_GCS_Lib.dty" "NewGCS" "NewElipsoid” MGE_Type

User_GCS_Lib.dty

The path and filename to the user defined library. If the library is not opened, it will be opened.

NewGCS

The name of the newly created GCS. If an equivalent GCS is found then it will be used.

New_Elipsoid

The name of the newly created elipsoid. If an equivalent elipsoid is found then it will be used.

MGE_Type

Either MGE_PRIMARY_CS or MGE_SECONDARY_CS depending on the desired MGE coordinate system to convert

Example:

MapCSUtilities ReadMGE "C:\Test.dty" "NewGCS7" "NewEllip8” MGE_PRIMARY_CS

If an existing GCS matches the selected GCS or there is an error reading the MGE coordinate system then a message will be output into the Message Center.
