Import DGN & Coordinate System

[bylgja]

I need help
I´m importing dgn using Map 2008 (Map-tools-import) and go through the driver option tap to check the units and so on. When the dgn drawing is imported to my dwg template I get negative coordinates. I have also tried command dgnimport. The DGN data owner says it has coordinates assigned to it. The scale of the imported dgn is correct.
Any ideas why I get negative coordinates?
Thanks

It might be in Lat and Long.

Was there ever an answer to the original question, or did it end at put some coffee on?

The OP never replied as to if the dgn was in LL or any other coordinate
system.

Can you post a screen capture or the dwg, so we can take a look at.
(I may not get to it today or anytime soon seems vacation time is meant to
be spending time with family and all)

Not a big deal I figured out another way.

Enjoy your vacation
