File Comparison

Is there a way to tell if a file was created in Microstation or OpenRoads? They are both called "dgn's" and look the same. Help please!

  • Hey Brian,

    I'm not certain if there are means to determine which program engine was used to create a MicroStation Design File (i.e. *.dgn). However, you can view which program was used to last modify a MicroStation Design File.

    To do this:

    1. From within the applicable File, select the File Name within the File tab of Explorer.
    2. Expand the General Pane of the Properties window.
    3. Find the Editor Property.

    I hope that this helps some.
