What is the version of the DWG file you are working with ? and what is the specific version of MicroStation you are using ?

I am using Autocad 2012 file. which i have to convert into the Microstation V8i connect Edition
Connect Edition of MicroStation should be able to open a 2012 DWG. You stated the error above as being an "invalid reference file". Have you tried opening the DWG directly with MicroStation ?
Sachin Kumar said:i have to convert into the Microstation V8i connect Edition
MicroStation V8i connect Edition does not exist.
MicroStation V8i is 32-bit MicroStation. MicroStation CONNECT Edition is 64-bit MicroStation. Both versions use the same format V8 DGN file.
MicroStation V8i (SELECTseries 3) added support for Autodesk® RealDWG 2012. You don't need to convert anything: MicroStation will open a DWG file. If you want to save it in DGN format then that's possible but unnecessary.
