Working with DWG Files in Your Product
-
Start with a DWG file. You can open an existing DWG file, or
create one in
MicroStation PowerDraft.
Tip: If the final DWG file output must conform to certain standards, ask the client to supply a template DWG file containing the required layer configuration, dimension style, text style, units, and linetype settings. You can then use this as a DWG seed file to ensure that your work is compliant with your client's standards.

Work with your
models in the DWG file.
Note: The Sharing DGN and DWG data topic includes information on how the DGN and DWG file formats handle specific types of data such as references and element attributes.
