Searching for a lisp that will export multiple dwg to dgn files

I've searched the forums and have yet to find anything. I am an extreme novice at CAD lisp but if someone could point be in a direction i could build on would be awesome! Thanks for your time!

Hi Ben

For some thing like this you are better off using a SCRIPT file

If you can run the command-line version of DGNEXPORT (-DGNEXPORT) it will give you the following prompts

-DGNEXPORT
Enter DGN file format [V7/V8] <V8>:
Enter filename for DGN export <>:
Specify conversion units [Master/Sub] <Master>:
Specify mapping setup or [?] <Standard>:
Specify seed file or [?] <V8-Imperial-Seed2D.dgn>:

If you take the default values (by pressing return at each line) you will get a DGN file in the same folder as the original DWG file, with the same name - C:\TEMP\TEST.DWG will produce C:\TEMP\TEST.DGN

A SCRIPT file that does this is attached - you will have to rename it from DWG2DGN.txt to DWG2DGN.scr

To run it on a single file, use the AutoCAD SCRIPT command

To run it on multiple files, you can use Script Pro ( https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/downloads/caas/downloads/content/autodesk-customizati... or Multi-Batch ( http://www.multi-batch.com/ )

Hope that helps
