ProjectWise Administrator Help

Using the Background Map Setup Assistant

This Background Map Setup Assistant is used to help create a background map for the selected datasource. It is not a replacement of the entire background maps creation process, but a tool to easily and quickly create a background map. All of the options selected in the assistant will be added to the Coordinate Systems and the Background Maps nodes.

The Background Map Setup Assistant can be started by:

  • right-clicking the main datasource node and selecting All Tasks > Background Map Setup Assistant
  • right-clicking the Coordinate Systems datasource node and selecting Background Map Setup Assistant
  • right-clicking the Background Maps datasource node and selecting Background Map Setup Assistant
Note: A supported version of MicroStation V8i is required on the ProjectWise Administrator computer. If MicroStation V8i is missing, these menu options will be grayed out. Also, while going through this assistant, you will be prompted to select a DGN document from which a DPR file will be created and then published.
