Convert DWG Files to 2D DGNs instead of 3D

Convert DWG files to 2D DGN's instead of 3D
By default, all AutoCAD DWG files are 3D therefore when you export or convert them to a MicroStation design file, they'll end up being 3D. To avoid this, Bentley's Brien Bastings suggests that prior to opening a 3D DWG file you turn on Create 2D Models for Model Space as well as Create 2D Sheets for Paper Space from MicroStation V8's DWG Options box. Problem now solved.
