Saving .dwg files to .dgn

Question

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.

I did not see that you posted that you are running Powerdraft. You need full Microstation to batch convert.

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.

Defualt Output fomat: V8 and V7 are DGN formats. You will want to use V8 as that is what the current version is that you are using. V7 is only for going to the older format before V8. an example is if you need the files in a DGN format for the MIcroStation J version.
