How to assign a spatial reference to DGNV8 files?

Writing data to the DGNV8 writer I use a Seed file where the geographic coordinate system is well defined.

In addition to the Seed file I defined the coordinate system also in the writer itself, and all data handled in the workbench are going through a reprojecter transformer.

 

The outcome shows the data in the right projection, but it is not reflected in the DGN files properties.

 

What is the right way to get the coordinate system written into the output DGN file?

Hi @Thomas Becker​ unfortunately, it is currently not possible to write out the coordinate system to the DGN file. This is a known limitation with the current MicroStation writer. We do have an outstanding enhancement request to add coordinate system support to our MicroStation reader/writer (internal reference: FMEENGINE-9051).

I've added this community question to the request and we'll be sure to update this post when this has been addressed.

 

Thanks,

Dan M
