from cad to microstation, need to convert blocks, templates, xrefs, attributes .
please help to convert
My process is to create a 2D file, attach the DWG and then merge it. Once that is done run convert acistoparasolid all (Key-in). Then check for Shared Cells. You can drop those to Normal cells if you wish, sometimes I do sometimes not, It depends on how the file was constructed originally.
As for creating a cell library from Wblocks you can just drag and drop them into a file, named *.cel if you like or it can be named *.dgn, I don't think it matters anymore as both can be read in the Place Cell dialog box.
Hope this helps.
