Import dgn files to AutoCAD LT 2011 for Mac

Hi,

 

Is it possible for AutoCAD LT 2011 for Mac to import dgn files?  I understand AutoCAD LT for Windows can, and I am trying to troubleshoot the Mac version's import feature - do I get no import becuase I have some settings wrong, or is it because this Mac version simply doesn't have the capability.  

 

Please note that DGNIMPORT is not an option in the auto-completed options when I type "DGN" in the command line, although DGNIMPORTMAX and DGNIMPORTMODE do show up.

 

Thank you,

Eileen

Welcome to Autodesk Forums!

Hi Eileen,

AutoCAD for Mac (LT and full version) doesn't have DGN import feature in all existing versions (2011-2013). Maybe DGN sys vars are here only for scripting compatibility.

Because you need AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT for that ability.

They were not defined into the MAC versions: why do you keep asking? The is peer support, we are all end users just like you.

If you need DGN support that badly then you either need AutoCAD for Windows or Microstation at your office/school/home. You can also buy converters.

Good luck.
