While converting multiple models from dgn to stp using batchconverter color is getting lost.

What is the exact version no. (e.g. v10.x.y.z) of MicroStation that you are using? Use key-in VERSION to see the version no. in the MicroStation Message Center, or Help→About MicroStation in the backstage.
VERSION
See this blog that shows you how to obtain MicroStation's version number.
If you're using an additional product (e.g. ProjectWise, OpenXxx) let us know about that too!

If you manually convert your file, is the colour retained? That is, is this a question about DGN=>STP conversion or is it a failing of the batch convertor?

I am using microstation 10.14.2.1
Additionally i am using openplant modeler 10.8.0.51, Prostructure 10.5.0.54.
if i export individual models to step, all the colors are coming correct as dgn model. If i use batchconverter, all the colors are converting to white.
What version of stp are you using in the batch? 203 doesn't include any properties like color, 214 does. My guess is your single convert to stp is 214 and your batch is translating 203.
Yes, In single convert we can choose the version, if we choose 203, it is coming in white. In Batch convert there is no option to select the version 214. It is taking 203 as default. How can we choose the version in Batch?

Record a VBA macro while you manually export a file as STP. Be sure to twiddle the AP203/AP214 switch in the settings dialog.
Examine the result of the recording, which is a new VBA macro. It may reveal the name of the STP exporter variable that you changed with the AP203/AP214 switch. If so, you may be able to set the state of that variable in your batch file.
I am not using a batch file. I am using the batchconverter tool from inside microstation. can you provide any plugins for running the batchconverter with 214 version by default.
