Good morning, I'm trying to write some geodb_point features (cell) to a DGN using Bentley MicroStation Design Writer. The MicroStation cell library must be specified in the writer's parameters. The cells are placed in the DGN, but they appear incorrectly scaled compared to the cells in the cell library. If I refresh the cells in the DGN again from the cell library, they appear correctly scaled again. Unfortunately, I have to perform this step manually for each cell. I've tried adjusting various settings in the writer's advanced parameters. To no avail. Can anyone help me?

@aharport Are you using the DGNStyler transformer to write the cells?

If yes, are the cells incorrectly scaled, inspite of setting the Cell Size By value.

If you are manually do the cell placements, then try setting the igds_cell_size format attribute to the desired cell size value in the ground units for the cells to appear properly.

igds_cell_size

The size in ground units of the maximum span of the cell. If this is specified, the settings for igds_cell_x_scale, igds_cell_y_scale, and igds_cell_z_scale are ignored.

I am curious to know if this helped!

Happy FME:-) ing
