DGN File Reader

Autodesk Navisworks can read 3D DGN and PRP files from Bentley's MicroStation, but does not support CEL

files or 2D DGNfiles. Referenced files and instances of cells are respected, and the Selection Tree reflects this file

structure.

NOTE The file reader supports files from MicroStation 95, SE and /J. It does not support MicroStation Modeller and

any versions of MicroStation before 95.
