File with DXF extension contains project data for AutoCAD vector image; it is similar to DWG format, but is stores data in more data exchange-friendly form at. Initially DXF files stored data in ASCII text, but now it also support binary format.
DGN (short for ”design”) is a file format used by Computer Aided Design (CAD) software used by Bentley Systems MicroStation. DGN files store 2D/3D project data.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the DXF file after converting to DGN may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from DXF to DGN to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting DXF to DGN does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in DXF format, properly converted to a DGN file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file DXF the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of DXF file to other than DGN. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your DXF file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to DGN on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the DXF file in its original format (without conversion to DGN file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
