    Regretably we were not able to renew our subscription this year so I won't be able to try the new feature. I could post my .rsc file if you'd like to try it. I would love to see how it works in Autocad as well if possible. If the converted styles function properly it could be a selling point to management.

    Peter,

     

    Where can I get this API from Bentley. The one that converts MIcrostation Linestyles to Autocad?

     

    Thanks,

    I have been testing the use of this conversion feature, and it seems fine when the file is first imported.  However, when saving the file and closing, and then re-opening, the linetypes have been washed away and I am left with continuous lines where my microstation linetypes once were.  The linetype is still defined in the "Linetype" dialog, however the graphics simply loom like a continuous line.  Any thoughts?

    Re: Converting linetypes and styles from Microstation to AutoCAD 7

    our client sent us dng files which I was able to convert to CAD 7, but my linetypes are not plotting right. The client sent us also all the linetypes and standards but in microstation format. How do I transfer/convert these standards so I can create the correct plot style so my drawings will plot correctly?
