About DGN (Microstation)
DGN (MicroStation Design) is Bentley MicroStation's native CAD format, widely used in infrastructure, civil engineering, and transportation projects. Like DXF, it stores geometric entities in a coordinate space without an embedded CRS and must be geo-referenced after conversion to be used in a GIS.
You might convert from DGN when you need to bring infrastructure or civil engineering geometry into a GIS, when collaborating with a team that works in GIS rather than CAD, or when you want to publish linework from a MicroStation project on a web map.
Frequently asked questions
Does DGN include coordinate reference system information?
No — like DXF, DGN files store coordinates in an internal drawing unit space without CRS metadata. Use the Assign CRS tool after conversion if you know the intended reference system.
Which DGN geometry types are converted?
Lines, arcs, shapes, and complex chains are converted to their closest GIS equivalents. MicroStation tags and graphic attributes are generally not preserved in the output.
What is the difference between DGN V7 and DGN V8?
DGN V7 is the older ISFF-based format; DGN V8 (used by MicroStation since 2001) is an OLE compound-document format. This browser-based converter uses GDAL’s open-source DGN driver, which reads V7. V8 files need Bentley/ODA libraries that are not available client-side, so if your drawing is V8, export it to DGN V7 or to DXF from MicroStation (or the free Bentley View) first.
Only have one file?
Our single-file DGN (Microstation) to GeoPackage converter is free and handles one file at a time.
