Dgn To Dwg Conversion
Today most of the architectural, construction, electrical and mechanical companies are outsourcing their CAD drafting and CAD conversion work to other organizations. This is so because of the several advantages associated with CAD outsourcing. The main advantage is high quality and error free work at low cost. But when you plan to outsource your CAD requirements, be sure to value the benefits of outsourcing your CAD work. Think about the reasons why you need to outsource if you can hire someone to do the same work at your end.
Not only CAD drafting and designing, more and more companies are now outsourcing their CAD conversion requirements to the specialists. CAD conversion is nothing but converting the paper drawings or digital format files into file formats supported by AutoCAD.
The most common form of CAD conversions is converting DGN files into DWG. If you do not already know what are the DGN and DWG files then let me explain briefly.
DGN File Format
DGN (Design) is the name used for CAD file formats supported by Bentley Systems' MicroStation and Intergraph's Interactive Graphics Design System (IGDS) CAD programs. A DGN file is a vector image file associated with MicroStation 2 and 3-dimensional design software.
Although DGN is not as widely-used as Autodesk's DWG, it is nevertheless mission critical in many large projects, including buildings, highways, bridges, process plants, shipbuilding.
DWG File Format
On the other hand, DWG ("drawing") is a binary file format used for storing two and three dimensional design data and metadata. It is the native format for several CAD packages including AutoCAD, IntelliCAD (and its variants) and Caddie. In addition, DWG is supported non-natively[2] by many other CAD applications. The .bak (drawing backup), .dws (drawing standards), .dwt (drawing template) and .sv$ (temporary automatic save) files are also DWG files. The DWG format is probably the most widely used format for CAD drawings.
DGN files are generally converted to DWG format to view and work on them in AutoCAD design software.
