DGN to DWG export with GIS settings retained

I would like to propose an option to include any GIS settings that a DGN file may have assigned and for it to be retained in the resulting DWG file.


Currently the GIS settings are wiped out during the conversion

    HI Marholaine

    At the time that I created this Idea, MS 2025 wasn't available. in previous versions of MS I have found that if you assign a GIS setting to a dgn and this is exported to DWG the resulting DWG ignores the GIS settings.

    However, just tested this in MS2025 and it seems to be OK.

    Hi Ian,

    Thank you for submitting this idea. I’d like to clarify your request—specifically, when you mentioned “any GIS settings” could you elaborate on what settings you’re referring to?

    Thanks in advance for the clarification—it’ll help us better assess your idea!
