using ODAs DGN Import SDK

[zoomer]

I vote for a DGN Import/Export Option for VW.

 

Meanwhile ODAs DGN Import SDK works reasonably good,

(As I can see in Bricscad, mostly Solids and even Materials coming in)

I would also like to have that DGN Import/Export Option in Vectorworks.

Thanks @Emile Crassee for the like.

 

Just want to add, about a year later,

Bricscad had some more iterations of the ODA DGN libraries.

 

Microstation was able to work with native DWG for decades and

has, like VW, Parasolid modeling core. So I always thought MS

includes easily interchangeable Solids. 2D is no problem.

 

But I was a bit surprised how hard it was to convert MS Solids

reasonably into DWG via ODA libraries and translators.

I retry it every now and then in Bricscad. It got much better over

the years, but with varying results for me.

I still have my 2004 (?) MS License and it still runs on Windows 11.

A simple MS to DWG Export still works so much better.

(Which is basically lossless for geometry and even Render Materials

come in great. By DWG not only to Bricscad but also VW)

 

 

But of course I still would like VW to finally make use of, even the current

ODA libraries, and also offer DGN import !
