[CONNECT] Ohio DOT Unit Converter App


OhioDOT has made an application to help with converting our workspace from Survey Feet to International feet. This app was based off the Scale Models app that Bentley posted with their migration utilities. 

the migration utilities Bentley posted can be found here

Migration Utilities - OpenRoads | OpenSite Wiki - OpenRoads | OpenSite - Bentley Communities

Bentley's Scale Models app (at the time of posting this) was missing some functionality which is why we made this application. This app does everything the Scale Models app can do but also adds the following functionality:

The application also offers the following functionality which Bentley's Scale Model app offers as well.

Ohio DOT is providing this utility as a convenience for anyone that would like to use it with the following stipulations:

the application is written as a MicroStation Addin and was written for CONNECT edition products.
