My customer has given me about 140 Microstation DGN files that need to
be converted to Autocad DWG. I'm using full 2008 and LT 2009. They are
fairly simple electronic schematic and table drawings. I'm using the LT
2009 built-in converter (file, import) which works very well,
one-at-a-time, and it's fast.I have searched all over the
internet to find a BATCH converter and found many, some cheap ($30) and
others expensive ($395). I don't mind spending the money for it but
I've bought far too much software only to find it wouldn't work for MY
application. I have to try it first, then I'll buy.Most of the
programs I tried (I downloaded five) did not have the batch process
included in the download version. And for good reason. Someone like me
would just download it and do all the conversions and never buy the
software. But this is an ongoing need and I'll need to do this fairly
often. I'll spend the money but I need to know, from a disinterested
third party, of a program they know that does what I want.Any suggestions will be helpful.Frank ReidReid Engineering Services
