Hi @akshit.jain,

I see that you are visiting as a new member to the AutoCAD forum. Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

Converting between the two applications is NEVER 100% but I think we can get closer. Are you able to share some sample drawings so I can test? I actually like to use Microstation to do the conversion but I am happy to try to convert in AutoCAD to see if I can obtain better results. Which version of AutoCAD and Microstation are in use?

from your bottom screenshot, it appears as though Microstation isnt liking the complex linetype, and the true type fonts that you have used. In the top photo, it appears that Microstation doesnt know what to do with the AutoCAD Revision cloud entity.

When we do conversions here, there are some objects we have found that do not work with Microstation, and we end up needing to do some manual editing to make it work well.
