Problem

When saving DGN to DWG with Batch Converter, DWG filesize is
smaller (about 20KB) WRT File > Save As to DWG and using the
same DWG Save Options.

Product: MicroStation V8 2004 Edition
Version: 08.05.02.35
Area: Batch Processing

Solution

When you save DGN file with Batch Convert the file will not directly
open in MicroStation and will not create a thumbnail preview in the DWG.
When you open the DWG file which is converted with Batch Convert,
do a save setting (thumbnail preview will be added) , and close the DWG.
You will now see that the file size is the same as the other DWG.
Note: When doing a File > Export DWG , the DWG file size will be the
same as using Batch Convert to DWG
