CAD Format Converter

About This Tool

The CAD Format Converter provides cross-format translation among DGN, DWG, and EM CAD data. It enables engineers and CAD admins to migrate designs between Bentley MicroStation and AutoCAD environments while preserving geometry, layers, blocks, text, and metadata. Conceptually, the tool maps per-format entities, coordinates, and attributes to the target format, applying unit scaling and layer/profile mappings as needed. It supports batch processing, so large project archives can be migrated in a single run. The core value is enabling interoperability in engineering pipelines without manual re-creation of drawings, reducing rework and risk of data loss. Advanced capabilities include optional layer mapping profiles, font/text handling rules, block replacement behavior, and cross-reference resolution, which are essential for complex assemblies and multi-discipline projects. The tool emphasizes data integrity through post-translation checks that compare geometry, references, and attributes between source and target outputs, and it reports any discrepancies for review. It is designed for professional workflows across regions, supporting metric and imperial units and common drawing scales. The converter is suitable for civil, mechanical, and architectural design teams, project coordinators, and document control groups that require reliable cross-format interoperability while maintaining design intent and metadata fidelity.
