MicroStation-DGN

Note

The import of DGN-files requires option BMP.

The DGN-file format is specific to the design software „MicroStation“ by Bentley Systems Inc. (USA). The file format uses the file extension *.dgn (for „design file“). The CadnaA import filter supports DGN versions 1, 2 and 3 at present.

Via the button „Options“ the following DGN-specific settings are available:

• Object Layer (see Allocate Object Type to Layer)
• Import only Section (see Import only Section)
• Simplify Geo automatically (see Simplify Geometry in the manual „Introduction to CadnaA“)
• Transformation (see Coordinate Transformation)
