Hello,
I have a DGN file (Microstation v8) which stores spatial data elements (elements with XY coordinates). The elements are linked to an external database. I need to export the data from DGN file and join the exported data with its associated data in external database. I am using FME workbench with reader format as "Bentley MicroStation Design (V8)" and writer format as GeoJSON.
When I redirect my output to FME data inspector, I see the linkage data in a field called "igds_linkage{0}.blob (encoded: fme-binary)". Sample value for this field is E06E00000000000000000000. The actual link value in the external database for this element is 28384 which is 6EE0 in Hex. I can get the same value by swapping the first two bytes of igds_linkage data i.e. from E06E to 6EE0.
Now, my issue is that this data is visible in data inspector only. How do I export it into my output GeoJSON file?
The field "igds_linkage{0}.blob" is a Format attribute of type char(255). I've checked the exposed checbox for this field into Reader Feature Type property window and mapped to a field in writer. But, I cannot get this data into my output file.
Can someone please help what I am missing?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Amar
