Tool to Convert a Survey Linear to a Civil Geometry Complex Element or a MicroStation Linestring

There should be a one button command to convert a Survey Linear to a Civil Geometry Complex Element, a MicroStation Linestring, or individual MicroStation lines (User picks what they want). There are ways to accomplish this process now but most invlove a few steps to get the end geometry needed.

    This is needed to create an element that can be used as a civil cell or geometry reference because Geometry nor Civil Cells recognize Survey Linears. Try creating a partial offset of a Survey L:inear -> You get an Element is not Valid for tool error message.

    I'm curious why you would do this conversion, is it to develop best fit geometry?
