DGN to DWG multi file converter Autodesk product

[Ross_S1]

I thought I recalled using a batch converting tool by Autodesk that would convert Microstation files to dwg/Civil 3d format (something that would convert multiple files simultaneously). Does anyone know of this? Remind me of the name if it is there. 

Thanks in advance for your insight.

Bentley has a batch conversion tool. You could write a script to run in the Autodesk Batch Save Utility. You would need to create a list of the DGNs for the script file.

Thank you Vincent. I'm imagining this is the tool that I was thinking of. I thought I could use it to convert without writing any scripts though. I don't have experience writing scripts.

Working with Scripts isn't difficult. They're basically a list of commands that you would type on the keyboard. I found a few of my old ones.

The first two are just setting a variable. The third inserts text (the 4000 numbers) at coordinates I calculated in Excel. They'd be used in conjunction with a Batch file to open a list of drawing, execute the commands and save each drawing. We opened each drawing in full AutoCAD. Now I believe it can be used in conjunction with AcCoreConsole to be processed faster.
