DGN File Reader
Autodesk Navisworks can read 3D DGN and PRP files from Bentley's MicroStation, but does not support CEL
files or 2D DGN files. 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 Modeler and
any versions of MicroStation before 95.
