Exporting DGN file with seed file

toznal — Tue, 24 Oct 2017 00:18:36 GMT

Hi everyone.

I would like to export DGN file.

But It has to be selected Seed file location. (I attached option image file)

What does it seed file?

And How can I specify that location? Does Autodesk support samples?

Thanks in advance.

@toznal hello,

A seed file for a DGN file is similar to a drawing template (DWT) file that contains default settings and attributes, such as working units. Selecting the appropriate DGN seed file (imperial, metric, or user-defined), and conversion units is critical to the translation from DWG to DGN. In addition, the seed file contains settings that are not present in a DWG file, and therefore inherited in the exported DGN.

These settings include working units and resolution as well as whether the file is 2D or 3D.
