DGN Import Parameters

Name	Type	Values	Default Value	Details
DgnPath	OdString		OdString::kEmpty	Specifies the path to the .dgn file to be imported.
Database	OdDbDatabasePtr		NULL	Specifies the .dwg database in which to import the .dgn file. If it is not defined, DGN Import creates a new, empty .dwg database, imports the .dgn file into it, and returns it by that parameter.
Services	OdDbHostAppServicesPtr		NULL	Specifies .dwg host app services for DGN Import.
DgnServices	OdDgHostAppServicesPtr		NULL	Specifies .dgn host app services for DGN Import.
ImportActiveModelToModelSpace	bool		true	If true, imports active .dgn model to .dwg model space, otherwise imports to .dwg model space first then .dgn design model from model table.
ImportPaperSpaceModels	bool		true	If true, imports all .dgn sheet models to paper space layouts. Otherwise it imports one .dgn model to .dwg model space only.
XRefImportMode	OdUInt8	0 - Omit 1 - Retain 2 - MergeToCell 3 - Create Dgn Underlay	2	Specifies .dgn reference attachment import mode: "Omit" - don't import .dgn reference attachments; "Retain" - convert attached .dgn files to .dwg and create .dwg Xref; "MergeToCell" - create block definition and import attached .dgn file to it, then create block reference to .dgn attachment block; "Create Dgn Underlay" - create dgn underlay object.
ExplodeTextNodes	bool		false	If true, import text node as set of OdDbEntities (OdDbText, OdDbLine, etc.), otherwise convert .dgn text node to OdDbMText.
RecomputeDimensionsAfterImport	bool		false	If true, re-compute all dimensions to create .dwg-based dimension geometry blocks, otherwise create .dgn-based dimension geometry blocks.
MS_SYMBRSRC	OdStringArray		OdString::kEmpty	Paths to .dgn resource (*.rsc) files (fonts, line styles, etc.).
DontImportInvisibleElements	bool		false	If true, skip all invisible .dgn elements, otherwise import them to .dwg as invisible objects.
ImportViewIndex	OdUInt8	-1 0 -7	-1	Specifies number of .dgn views to use level masks and .dgn view settings. If view number is "-1", view is not defined and view settings and level masks are not used.
3dEllipseImportMode	OdUInt8	0 - OdDbEllipse 1 - OdDbRegion	0	Specifies how to convert OdDgEllipse3d elements.
2dEllipseImportMode	OdUInt8	0 - OdDbEllipse 1 - OdDbRegion	0	Specifies how to convert OdDgEllipse2d elements.
3dShapeImportMode	OdUInt8	0 - OdDbPolyline 1 - OdDbRegion 2 - OdDbPolyfaceMesh	1	Specifies how to convert OdDgShape3d and 3d OdDgComplexShape elements. If an element is filled, OdDbHatch is created as well as the result of importing.
2dShapeImportMode	OdUInt8	0 - OdDbPolyline 1 - OdDbRegion 2 - OdDbPolyfaceMesh	0	Specifies how to convert OdDgShape2d and 2d OdDgComplexShape elements. If an element is filled, OdDbHatch is created as well as the result of importing.
3dClosedBSplineCurveImportMode	OdUInt8	0 - OdDbSplinePtr 1 - OdDbRegion	1	Specifies how to convert closed OdDgBSplineCurve3d elements.
2dClosedBSplineCurveImportMode	OdUInt8	0 - OdDbSplinePtr 1 - OdDbRegion	0	Specifies how to convert closed OdDgBSplineCurve2d elements.
shxFontsPath	OdString		OdString::kEmpty	Specifies the path to put .shx font files after conversion of .rsc fonts.
LineWeightMap	OdDgnImportLineWeightsMapPtr			A lineweight map stores pairs of corresponding .dgn and .dwg lineweight values, allowing for conversion of lineweights from .dgn format to .dwg format. To set a lineweight map, get a pointer to the OdDgnImportLineWeightsMap object first. To get access to the lineweight map object, use the get_LineWeightsMap() method of the import properties object. To get import properties, call the properties() method of the importer. It is possible to handle lineweight values using the following methods: setLineWeightForDgnIndex() to set a lineweight for an appropriate .dgn index. copyLineWeightsMap() to copy a lineweight map object. getLineWeightByDgnIndex() to get the current lineweight value for an appropriate .dgn index. resetToDefaults() to set all lineweights to default values.
ConvertDgnColorIndicesToTrueColors	bool		false	If the property value is true, DGN Import always converts .dgn color indexes to RGB true colors. If the property value is false (default), DGN Import tries to convert .dgn color indexes to dwg color indexes (gets color from .dgn color table and tries to find the same color in .dwg color table), and if it is not possible it saves the color as an RGB true color to the .dwg file.
ConvertEmptyDataFieldsToSpaces	bool		true	If true (by default), empty field values from a .dgn file are replaced with space symbols in the .dwg file. If false, empty field values from a .dgn file are replaced with underscore symbols ("_") in the .dwg file.
