Bentley Raceway and Cable Management can open, import, and export files of the following formats:

• IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) — a public domain, ANSI standard, interchange file format that is intended as an international standard for the exchange of product definition data between different CAD/CAM systems. For information that is specific to IGES translation, see IGES File Exchange. For information about exporting IGES files that are compliant with the CALS Class I or Class II specifications, see Exporting CALS-compliant IGES files.
• Parasolid XMT — a file format that converts Parasolid XMT data into (import) or from (export) a Bentley Raceway and Cable Management DGN file.
• ACIS SAT — a file format that converts ACIS SAT data into (import) or from (export) a Bentley Raceway and Cable Management DGN file.
• CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) — an ANSI standard for the exchange of picture data between different graphics software. CGM file exchange is device-independent and environment-independent.
• STEP AP203/AP214 — a file format that converts STEP AP203 and AP214 data into (import) or from (export) a DGN file. AP203 conformance classes 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are supported. Although both DIS and IS versions of AP203 are supported, DIS is supported for background compatibility only.
• VRML World (export only) — a file format that translates Bentley Raceway and Cable Management into VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language), including placing interactive links between geometry in the VRML world and other Internet locations or VRML worlds.
• STL (Stereolithography) — a file format that converts STL files into (import) or from (export) a Bentley Raceway and Cable Management DGN file.
• DWG & DXF — a file format that converts DWG or DXF files into (import) or from (export) a Bentley Raceway and Cable Management DGN file.
• TerrainModel LandXML (import only) — a file format that converts XML files into a DGN file.
• Image (import only) — file formats that convert image files such as JPG, BMP, TIF, GIF, and others to a DGN file.
• Text (import only) — a file format that converts TXT files into a DGN file.
• FBX — a file format that converts FBX files into (import) or from (export) a DGN file.
• IFC (import only) — a file format that converts IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) files into a DGN file.
• SVG (export only) — a file format that translates Bentley Raceway and Cable Management DGN file into SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics).
• OBJ (export only) — a file format that translates Bentley Raceway and Cable Management DGN file into OBJ.
• SketchUp — a file format that translates SketchUp (SKP) into (import) or from (export) a Bentley Raceway and Cable Management DGN file.
• Luxology (export only) — a file format that translates a DGN file into Luxology (LXO).
• Google Earth (export only) — a file format that translates a DGN file into Google Earth (KML).
• Collada (export only) — a file format that translates a DGN file into Collada (DAE) file that is fully compliant to Collada 1.4.0 standard.
• U3D — (export only) — a file format that translates a DGN file into U3D (Universal 3D).
• JT— a file format that converts JT data into (import) or from (export) a Bentley Raceway and Cable Management DGN file.
• Acute3D SmartCapture (opened as read-only; can be saved as DGN) — a file format native to the photogrammetry software Smart3DCapture.

The exported file formats support dynamic views. If you print a dynamic view to 3D PDF, or if you export a dynamic view to a 3D export format such as SketchUp or OBJ, the results that you see will match the dynamic view. For example, you have a dynamic view that is divided by a section plane such that half of the model is transparent. When you print the dynamic view to 3D, the resulting PDF matches the dynamic view.

A number of third-party translators to various formats are available from Bentley Developer Network member vendors.

The system Clipboard, if one exists, can be used to exchange data with other applications.
