I have a large number of .dwg files that I need to save as .dgn. Now the .dwg files will open in Microstation Powerdraft and I can export them individually but this will be time consuming. I am using XM version and there is no "batch" option under the utilities menu.
I am not sure if it is easier to do this through Microstation or AutoCAD.
Any help greatly appreciated.
MicroStation V8 XM does have a Batch Convert Utility under the utilities menu. Are you running a custom workspace ? This may account for why it is not listed.
I don't believe am running a custom workspace.
I did not see that you posted that you are running Powerdraft. You need full Microstation to batch convert.
Sorry. I should have clarified that. I do have a machine that has full Microstation V8 but have never used the batch tool before
If you have MicroStation V8 then under the utilities menu there should be batch convert. In the help go to contents> Menus> Utilities menu. this will then show you information regarding the batch converter and how it is used.
