When importing a FBK file the distance unit are being converted to meters. How do I correct this issue?

Yes I get the same results.

I use the FDOT seed files. My design file settings are above. I don't see anything there. I really need this resolved so please keep brainstorming!

Thanks.

Cliff

I was able to reproduce this issue, I will log a defect for this.

Do I attach dgn files using the secure file attachment process? I understand how to attach the media files but not dgn files.

What are your Design File Working Units?

The files are attached. Let me know if that workecommunities.bentley.com/.../fbk_5F00_test.zipd.

Change the header of the FBK to read :

UNITS FOOT DMS

Instead of

UNITS USFOOT DMS

That attachment doesn't look right. When I try to attach the files without zipping them I get an error about file types. Let me know if the files came through. Thanks.

Does it provide the same results when you do not use the FDOT workspace? You may want to attach your files

This has corrected the issue. Thanks for the help.

You may have set the Use option to False in your Survey Project Settings.

Go to your Survey Project Settings Properties and look at your Data File Parsing>Data Import Items and see if you set it to False.  Change it to True and Accept.

same as media, just pick the files instead

Thanks for looking into the issue. Does the import FBK file work correctly with other versions of microstation?

This is what I have in my project settings:

In the video it shows an option to import a civil 3d FBK in the menu list. I don't have that in my list of import file types. Maybe there is something I'm missing? A missing TIW file?

This does correct the issue with the slope distances and heights however the NEZ coordinate records are "translated" to US Survey feet based on the incorrect units in header of the FBK. This should be fixed so the correct units can be used in the header.

I have gone ahead and filed a defect for this. The defect number is 292113 and will be placed in the development queue for the civil quarterly software updates

Was this issued fixed? I came across the above information after having the same problem.

Beebe Ray,

How do I get a copy of the Civil 3D FBK tiw file you have highlighted above? This format is not present in my settings dialog.

Take care,
Cliff

Kevin,
I'm using Open Roads Power Geopak 08.11.09.845. The problem still persists. Would be good if the issue was corrected. Our firm shares the FBK file format across all survey projects and all clients. Fixing this would make the FBK files universal between Civil 3D and Open Roads workflows. Here's to hoping!
