By default reprojected images (including Bing Maps) cannot be clipped. The following workaround is recommended. In this example, the DGN is EPSG:26717 and the Image is EPSG:900913.

- Reproject the DGN to the CGS of the attached image. For Bing Maps, use EPSG:900913. The result of this step is that the image is attached without being reprojected and the DGN data is now reprojected to match the image. NOTE: To successfully reproject the DGN data, you may need to adjust the Reprojection Settings of the Active Model. This dialog is found in the Geographic Coordinate System icon bar.

- Fit the view and clip the image as needed. NOTE: The DGN elements may not fit nicely to the view. In that case, simply use Window Area to locate the data to the view.

- Once the image has been clipped, reproject the DGN data back to it's original GCS. In this example, that is EPSG:26717.

- Fit the view as needed.

Note that this workflow does not require Descartes.

VRT files are used to import a CSV file containing point, line or polygon data. Information regarding the VRT file format and parameters can be found at the following:

https://gdal.org/drivers/raster/vrt.html

The attached zip file to this article includes a sample set of CSV files and a related VRT file which makes use of WKT geometry field encoding for point, lines and polygons.

NOTE: The

<OGRVRTDataSource><OGRVRTLayer name="Linestrings"><SrcDataSource relativeToVRT="1">linestrings.csv</SrcDataSource><GeometryType>wkbLineString</GeometryType><LayerSRS>WGS84</LayerSRS><GeometryField encoding="WKT" field="WKT"/></OGRVRTLayer><OGRVRTLayer name="Polygons"><SrcDataSource relativeToVRT="1">polygons.csv</SrcDataSource><GeometryType>wkbPolygon</GeometryType><LayerSRS>WGS84</LayerSRS><GeometryField encoding="WKT" field="WKT"/></OGRVRTLayer><OGRVRTLayer name="Points"><SrcDataSource relativeToVRT="1">points.csv</SrcDataSource><GeometryType>wkbPoint</GeometryType><LayerSRS>WGS84</LayerSRS><GeometryField encoding="PointFromColumns" x="X" y="Y"/></OGRVRTLayer></OGRVRTDataSource>

Opening the VRT file in as an Import in the Interoperability dialog allows you to specify the Spatial Criteria, Feature Parameters, Import Parameters, and Feature Symbology.

When imported, the resulting graphics are native features with business, geometric, and WKT properties.

If the WKT properties are not desired, disable them in the Import node using the Show Properties > Ungrouped opton.

The following file is provided for your learning and was used for the images in this article:
