Guidelines for Exporting DGN Files from DRAW into MicroStation
DRAW drawings can be passed into MicroStation as DGN files. Various switches and rules are available in DRAW to allow the DGN output to be configured as required. These notes refer mainly to MicroStation/J and the DGN version 7 files produced from DRAW.
A configuration can be defined which allows DRAW DGN files to be imported into a freshly installed version of MicroStation/J with correct geometry, colours and styles. However, the fonts are not likely to be correct. These notes contain guidelines on how to produce DGN drawings from DRAW with the correct fonts, and how to improve other aspects of the translation. Some but not all of this advice also applies to DGN version 8 format files imported into MicroStation 8 series.
