Sharing DGN and DWG Data

This topic includes strategies and techniques for working with CAD data that will be shared between applications. It also includes a DGN-DWG terminology reference.

The topics on the DWG Open Options dialog and the Save As DWG/DXF Options dialog provide additional information on sharing DGN and DWG data.

Note: When you import and save a DGN file as a DWG file in AutoCAD, and then open the DWG file back in OpenPlant PID, a message appears in the Message Center saying that the object enabler AcDgnLS is missing. This message indicates that the DGN data exits in the file and may not completely appear in OpenPlant PID.
