DGN File

Category: CAD Files

What is a DGN file?

Design or DGN files by Bentley Systems MicroStation are prevalent in the construction sector. They are used for architectural and engineering design works of highways, bridges as well as buildings. In the files, you will find styling information such as how to present and color your project. Since DGN files use the white color for all features, you cannot view them on white backgrounds. The designs are created and supported with the help of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) drawing files such as Microstation and Intergraph Interactive Graphics Design System. They can either be 2D or 3D and are saved in two main formats, namely ISFF or V8 DGN. They can also be converted into image files such as DWG, GIF, JPEG, TIFF, or BMP, among many more. Similarly, you can turn the very same formats back to DGN files. Other software that uses the .dgn file extension includes ArcView and Microstation95 CAD for drawing various projects.
