Hi,

I have a MicroStation file (v8) with a table in it that I need to extract to csv. Can someone please advise? I am using FME2020.1 and I have attached the dgn.

Many thanks,

Chris

Hi @chris_hunt00​ thank you for your question; unfortunately, FME does not yet support Extended Element geometry (which is what your table if made out of). A workaround is to export your MicroStation V8 DGN file to an AutoCAD DWG file to be read in to FME. I read in the DWG file and was able to make this table view in FME that can then be written to a CSV file.

dgn-table1This is what the workspace that made this possible looks like:dgn-table 

Let me know if you have any additional questions, I hope this helps!

Cheers, Evie
