MicroStation Converter V8

Microstation Converter is the AutoCAD/MicroStation link designed especially for AutoCAD users.   This fast, accurate, two-way translator is easy to use and handles everyday translation needs.  Microstation Converter is a powerful tool for AutoCAD users who need compatibility with MicroStation files.

Overview

In today's world, an organization limited to a single CAD system is at a competitive disadvantage.  You need to be able to accept and deliver CAD files in multiple formats.  AutoCAD with DXF capability gives you wide access to other CAD formats.

But, many public and private organizations require access to the Intergraph MicroStation DGN format.  They often will not accept work in other than their native format. Microstation Converter is the solution for the AutoCAD user.  It provides direct two-way translation of MicroStation DGN format files. Now, you can accept and deliver your CAD project in DGN format.

Microstation Converter uses proven DWG and DGN technology to ensure true compatibility.  You control the import or export of MicroStation files directly from your desktop. And there's no DXF step.  If you need to import a MicroStation file, the Microstation Converter will bring it into AutoCAD as a DWG. If you need to output to the MicroStation format, then the Microstation Converter will export a DGN file.  It's that simple.

With the Microstation Converter you can control the processing of colours, fonts, layers, line styles, and elements to meet unique project requirements. Or use Microstation Converter's auto-configuration feature, and you won't have to worry about those parameters - all assignments will be done for you.

Peaceful coexistence between CAD systems is not a vision or a dream, it's well within reach with Microstation Converter.
