[GRASS-user] How can i open vector files having dgn format

[Nitin]

hello pawan,
OGR is not capable of finding geo refrence information about DGN files.
DGN being a properitry format is not revealed completely specially type56 element( contains datum and projection information). I think this is main reason for this.
You will be able to view map elements without any georefrence informatio in grass or QGis. You can try to superimpose it over other maps  by providing end coordinates. Someone might help on this matter.
If you finds anyways , keep us also updated.
