Import DGN

Instructions for use

MicroStation DGN (*.dgn) is a vector graphics file format used by MicroStation and its related applications. The Import DGN tool can import DGN files as CAD datasets or simple datasets.

Parameter description

Parameter Name parameter interpretation parameter type
select file Enter the data path information that needs to be imported. String
Character Set Select the character set type of the file to be imported, default is ASCII. Charset
result datasource Specify the datasource where the result dataset is stored. Datasource
result dataset Specified resulting dataset name. String
Group Supports importing data into a specified group. When no group is selected, data is imported under the datasource. String
encode type Specify the encoding type of the dataset to be generated. EncodeType
import schema Set the import mode when there is a dataset with the same name.  
dataset type Select the type of dataset after import. Supports importing as CAD dataset or simple dataset, default is simple dataset. Boolean
create spatial index Set whether to create a spatial index for the imported dataset, default is checked. If checked, a spatial index will be created for the dataset according to the supported index types, which can improve the efficiency of spatial query and data access. Boolean
unit object is imported as the point object Used to set whether to import the unit object as a point object, default is unchecked. If checked, it replaces the position of an object unit with a marker. Boolean
unite layers Used to set whether to merge layers after import, default is unchecked. If checked, all CAD layers of the same type are merged into one dataset for import; if not checked, each CAD layer is imported as a separate dataset. Boolean
