DGN to DWG Converter

About This Tool

This tool performs online conversion from DGN to DWG to support CAD interoperability across teams and workflows. It accepts DGN drawings, translates geometry and layer information, and outputs a DWG file suitable for AutoCAD-based review and editing. The process is non-destructive to the original file and aims to retain coordinate systems and unit references when present. Conceptually, the tool parses DGN entities, maps them to DWG equivalents, and reconstructs layer structures with preserved visibility settings. Beneficiaries include civil, structural, and architectural engineers, CAD managers, and design consultants who must exchange data between MicroStation and AutoCAD environments. The service emphasizes accuracy, predictable results, and traceable conversion history to facilitate audits and handoffs. Core features include per-entity translation of lines, arcs, splines, and polylines; layer preservation and color mapping; optional retention of blocks and references; and the ability to select DWG output version. Use cases span project handoffs, interoperability between design teams, and archive migration where DWG workflows are standard. The tool provides a deterministic workflow that supports batch processing and produces a structured output with metadata. Unique value comes from CAD-focused entity mapping, version-aware DWG output, and batch scalability that minimizes project delays while preserving drawing integrity.
