Problem
A DGN file contains 3D model, Drawing and Sheet with a specific display style (Filled Hidden Line) set in the models. The sheet model or drawing model should be exported to DWG with this specific display style, but the result in DWG is in wireframe.
Solution
This behaviour is WAD (Works As Designed). We can only save the elements as Wireframe from Sheet in DWG because AutoCAD could not set a visual style in paper space. Regarding drawing model - As we are trying to Merge a 3D elements to 2D, not all of them can be shown as shaded (e.g. display style Filled Hidden Line). The 2D shapes are retained as closed shapes and the 3D elements are flattened. So if the user wants to retain the display style as shown in DWG, they will have to export the 3D design model to DWG.
