[Qgis-user] Reading CAD documents in QGIS

[Bernhard Ströbl]

Hi,

just for your information: Bentley and AutoCAD exchanged their libs a 
couple of years ago, so Bentley products read dwg/dxf with the native 
AutoCAD lib (all AFAIK). Therefore there should be no need for dgn (V8) 
support. AFAIK there exists only proprietary libs (Bentley) for 
reading/wirting dgn (V8).
