Hi,

I am having difficulty converting DGN Microstation Bentley file to Fusion 360.

Unfortunately, I don't have the Microstation Bentley. Is there a way to open the DGN file in Fusion 360.

Thank you

It is not on the list of supported file formats.

Thanks @jhackney1972 for the reply.

These are the file extensions that Microstation supports

Which one do you recommend to use when converting to Fusion 360.

We tried DGW but it did not work with Fusion 360.

Don't you mean DWG? Fusion 360 will import DWG format but only if you are using Fusion 360 on a Student or Subscription license, Personal license cannot open DWG. Take a look at this website for available formats for all license types (Scroll way down). I would recommend using the STEP format. I believe Fusion 360 will open either but STEP 214 is the newer format. As you can see STEP is an supported format for all Fusion 360 license types.
