Bentley Microstation Design V8 (FME)

Drag and drop your file into the window, or click within the upload box and navigate to the file on your network.

A .zip archive can be uploaded if more than one file is required.

This parameter can be used to specify a Coordinate Reference System (CRS) code of the input data.

This will not re-project the data, but allows its current CRS to be defined (e.g to enable multiple data stores to open where one does not have a CRS defined).

See Coordinate Reference System for more information on when this is required.

Select to enable full 3D geometries.

Polygon rings are assumed to be encoded using the right-hand rule, i.e. outer rings are anti-clockwise and inner rings are clockwise.

If the service does not guarantee that encoding, then set this flag to have polygon rings automatically oriented on import to avoid later problems when processing the data.

Reverse the x and y co-ordinate values. Select this if the coordinates are in (y,x) order and are not being read or written in the correct order.

Define the units mode (Master, Sub or UOR).

The number of ground units per UOR. Must be a double-precision floating point number.

Override the global origin of X, measured in UORs, from the lower left corner of the design plane/cube.

Override the global origin of Y, measured in UORs, from the lower left corner of the design plane/cube.

Override the global origin of Z, measured in UORs, from the lower left corner of the design plane/cube.

The number of sub units per master unit. Must be an unsigned integer ratio.

Used only if Units of Resolution (UOR) scale is not populated.

The number of UORs per sub unit. Must be an unsigned integer ratio.

Used only if Units of Resolution (UOR) scale is not populated.

Select this option to expand the cells into separate features.

Select this option to expand the unnamed (group hole) cells into separate features.

If selected, outputs the insertion point of the named cell.

If selected, outputs the insertion point of the unnamed cell.

Select this option to display tags. Elements in a design file may have user-defined attributes attached to them, in a form called Tags.

Controls whether or not curve elements will be stroked into lines by adding vertices.

If selected, the control points of the curve are connected into a line. This option preserves the original control points and the end slopes. This is primarily used for DGN-to-DGN translations.

If deselected, The control points are used to interpolate a linear representation of the curve. It strokes (vectorizes) the curve (that is, it preserves the shape of the curve).

A scaling factor used to generate an elevation shift (to build "fake" 3D topology). The Z value is divided by this factor and the result is added to the X value.

The number of points per segment when the curve is interpolated into a line.

Used only if Preserve Curves is not selected.

If selected, removes the tag attributes.

If selected, the multi-text is split into text nodes, and the member text elements are output as individual text elements.

If the multi-text had any linkage attributes, these will be propagated to the component elements.

This parameter controls the way the dimensions are imported.

If selected, the dimensions are exploded into its pieces.

If deselected, the dimensions are imported as an aggregate. When dimensions are imported as aggregates, the arcs are stroked and text features are output as list attributes only.

If selected, enables the reading of all the supported elements in the external reference files attached to the source dataset.

Reads all the supported elements in the external reference files attached to the source dataset up to the first level of nesting only.

Used only if Read external reference files is selected.

If selected, uses the model of the parent file of the external reference file.

If selected, reference files will be read as individual features with an igds_type of igds_xref. These features are a non-graphical representation of the elements themselves, not the elements stored within the referenced files.

If selected, splits multi-text into text nodes and outputs the member text elements as individual text elements. If the multi-text had any linkage attributes, these will be propagated to the component elements.

If selected, used to read deleted elements from V7 design files.

These linkage values can be used to join the graphical data held in the design file to the MSLINK field in the related database table. The entity number that is extracted is used to determine the relevant table that holds the attributes (the database contains a table called MSCATALOG which maps entity numbers to table names).

Reverse the x and y co-ordinate values. Select this if the coordinates are in (y,x) order and are not being read or written in the correct order.

Set the location of the seed file, which controls whether or not the output file is two-dimensional or three-dimensional, and sets the models, the global origin, and the unit information of the destination file.

Controls whether or not fill linkages will be written out for ellipses, shapes, and solids.

If selected, type 3 line elements will be created for two point linear features.

If unselected, type 4 elements will be created.
