CONNECT - Batch Convert DGN to DWG "No Models Selected"

In attempting to convert a few hundred DGN files to DWG, the batch converter works well except on some of the files where it gives me a message of "No Models Selected".

If I open one of the problem DGN Files and "Save As" DWG it works fine and generated the AutoCAD version.

The batch process log file shows me the following message:

---- All models in file D:\IDP Transfer - Victoria\VICTORIA\TYPE 21\VP8932.dgn were eliminated by the Filter criteria ----

but I don't have any filtering applied (see screenshot).

Help :-(

  • Would you be able to provide the software and version you're currently using?

    MicroStation Forum best practices

    Would you also be able to provide a batch process log as well.

    Also, when I look at the models in the files I see a difference between the files that work and the ones that give the "No Models Selected" message and don't convert:

    1) File that works

    2) File that gives "No Models Selected"

    Thanks,
