In the new version of MS V8i how can you convert a dwg to a dgn?

mu current version of MS is

Name: Bentley V8i (SELECTseries 10) - Autodesk® RealDWG 2016
Vendor: Bentley Systems, Incorporated
Version: 08.11.09.919
Type: 32 Bit
Installed: 09/24/2020

You can open DWGs straight into MicroStation, and SaveAs from there, but with that version of MicroStation, it only works on DWG files 2016 format and older. If you have a newer DWG format, it cannot be read by that release of MicroStation. You will need someone who can save it "back" to an older release DWG.

Or use the free DWG Truview app from Autodesk for translating to an older DWG version.

thanks F. Mandoki, I got the 2021 Truview but was not sure how far back to translate the dwg.

Look at the History of MicroStation.  It mentions the version of Autodesk® RealDWG supported by each version of MicroStation.

thanks Jon, will do
