Convert DWG files to 2D DGN's instead of 3D
By default, all AutoCAD DWG files are 3D therefore when you export or convert them to a MicroStation design file, they'll end up being 3D.

Create 2D Models for Model Space
as well as
Create 2D Sheets for Paper Space
from MicroStation V8's
DWG Options
box. Problem now solved.
