Limitations for Exporting DGN

The following limitations affect the transfer of information from Model to MicroStation.

1. The interface translates 3D geometric elements only. Attribute data may be written to an attribute file.

2. The BOUN and DRAW elements and 3D lines are not translated.

3. Element names are not translated but may be written to the attribute file.

4. Attributes are not translated but may be written to the attribute file.

5. The database hierarchy is not translated and any catalog components are copied for every instance. Some geometry elements may not have the correct graphic group setting.

6. Wide character sets (such as Kanji) are not supported.

7. Under some circumstances User Defined Attributes of type WORD may not be output correctly.
