Hi

 

 

I am looking for a complete list with descriptions of all the element types available in a microstation dgn file please.

 

 

I have read the FME Readers and Writers 2012 documentation for dgn files and there are element categories with some element type values (IGDS Element Type) on page 404 but I am looking for a complete list with a basic description for each value.

 

 

For instance type 33 is a dimension that is not included in the list on page 404 but is described on page 459, and type 53 is also a type of dimension but there is no description as to what subtype of dimension it is.

 

 

Is a complete list for both V7 and V8 dgn files available somewhere ?

 

Thanks
Hi Tim,

 

 

maybe FME 2013 help is worth a look for updates...

 

 

best regards,

Stefan,

 

Online 2013 documentation has the same basic list at:

 

http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_ReadersWriters/Default.htm#igds/Feature_Representation.htm

This page (external link) has a list of MicroStation elements in general. Note I don't guarantee that FME supports them all.

 

 

I'll file an enhancement request to update the list in our documentation. I'm pretty sure there are some we support that aren't listed (cones is the example that springs to mind).
