Problems converting .DGN to .DWG in AUTOCAD

I am rather new to AutoCAD so there may be some simple solution to this that I do not know of, but when importing an old .dgn file to a .dwg file using AutoCAD, there seems to be text issues consistently. The main issues are as follows:

 

1) Fractions for line sizes such as 1/2" will show as a question mark when imported as a dgn into AutoCAD.

2) The text lines are often misaligned when imported as a dgn into AutoCAD.

 

I have tried using Microstation, but that did not work and the question marks and text alignment issues were still present. I am just looking for a possible solution so I do not have to manually change 100 lines of text in each P&ID I need to edit. They are also all different line sizes so a find and replace option will not be ideal. I also cannot release the files as they are confidential, but I will attach a snip of the issues for clarity.

Hi @kane_smith8VEPF 

The image you uploaded in post #17 shows Microstation v7. That's kinda old. When v8 was released George W. Bush was President.

This is very true. Microstation v7 is older than I am evidently.
