General Options for DGN Export

Use the General tab of the Modify DGN Export Setup dialog to specify settings for export to MicroStation DGN format.

Options

Default export options

These options define default values for the Export CAD Formats dialog when you use this export setup.

Export views on sheets and links as DGN references: Clear this check box if you want views placed on sheets or linked files in the project to be exported to a single file rather than to several files that reference each other.

Export to file format: Select the desired MicroStation format from the drop-down list.

Note: Upon export to MicroStation V8 format, sheets are converted into sheet models in the DGN file. However, V7 format only supports one model, so even if you select Export views on sheets and links as DGN references, and referenced files are created, they are not referenced to the host file.
