- Directly by choosing . The current import settings control the conversion. The contents of the opened file are placed in a new DGN file that is created from the Default Translation Seed File. The Default Translation Seed File is set by the MS_TRANSEED configuration variable.
- Interactively by choosing File > Import > Common file Types, Exchange File Types, or 3D Modeling File Types and selecting a particular file type. You can adjust import settings before proceeding. The contents of the imported file are placed in the open DGN file. This changes the DGN file.
- By issuing commands from the system prompt. On systems that have a system prompt, you can automatically convert multiple files to DGN files.
