Microstation & Image files.
TR:
Does anyone know how Microstation handles raster image files?
The company I work for is bidding a job that requires we submit all our drawings in Microstation format. This isn't a problem for regular AutoCAD files because we can buy a program that will convert our drawings to Microstation. However, we have a great deal of standard drawings that are in .tiff format that we insert into AutoCAD for batch plotting purposes. How does Microstation handle this?
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Dent Cermak:
Why not just send the DGN files and the TIF files and tell them which TIF goes with which DGN ? Let them insert the TIF's themselves. Surely they can handle that.

This is for mo-town, and if history is any idication they don't take to kindly to things like that. They want everything perfect when they receive it.

Then you don't want to use any kind of conversion. We've used several including MSTA itself for attempting conversions and it just doesn't convert cleanly. There's always a something.
We do the work in whatever format they client desires the end product. If it's autocad, use autocad, if it's msta, use msta.
Anyone remember Usta?

But to answer your question about images, Msta does images reasonbly well, but the best bet on attempting to convert them out of ACAD is buy MSTA V8 and open the DWG's straight into MSTA.
Bentley used to provide evaluation versions of their program free. It ran for 20 min. and then ended, so you had to work in 20 min intervals. If you can still get a copy, that would be a great way to test the conversion quality.

Nice...maybe I can get them to buy a seat of microstation. :shock:
