Importing pre v8 DGN files in Cad '08

[Multiscan01]

Hello everybody,

I'm in the middle of checking piping & cable zones on the left bank of the Port Of Antwerp. Companies got a request regarding their infrastructure. But that request dates from 2006.

Now, most of the files I got are not a problem. But I'm stuck with DGN files and they are not V8 ones. So AutoCad 2008 from Civil 3D 2008 doesn't want to insert or import them.

Is there a way to change those DGN file to V8 DGN files?

Any sollution is fine as long as they keep there geo reference (hope those last two words make sence).

Thank you very much for your help.

Maybe something like this would help.

You might try going to the Bentley discussion groups and ask someone to do it for you for free.

I'll take my problem to the Bentley group.

The website seems to be the perfect solution to my problem. But asking money for something that wasn't planned two years in advance is impossible when you work for the government.

At the end of 2007 we couldn't plot our files for a couple of days. No ink for the plotter and no budget for the ink. We had to wait for special granted funds.

Thank you for your help Rustysilo!

Autodesk MAP has an import feature that handles older DGNs.
