Convert DGN to STEP
| File Extension | DGN |
| Full Name | MicroStation Design Format |
File with a .DGN extension contains a two or three dimensional project – a drawing created with the MicroStation software developed by Bentley Systems. It can be stored in the ISFF standard (Intergraph Standard File Format) or V8 DGN (DesiGN).
| File Extension | STEP |
| Full Name | ISO-10303 STEP Product Data |
The .STEP extension belongs to files of the type, STEP 3D models, which is a standard format for the exchange of product data. The format is also recognized by the ISO as a standard with the number ISO 10303. Informally refered to as STEP, the format is used widely for exchanging data that originates from CAD software for 3D product and modeling.
What is file format conversion?
File format conversion is the process of transforming a file from one format (referred to as "DGN") to another (referred to as "STEP"). This may be necessary for various reasons. For example, DGN file may be incompatible with the software or device we want to use to open or edit it. In such cases, converting the file from format DGN to format STEP becomes essential.
So, how can we perform DGN to STEP file conversion? Fortunately, there are many tools and computer programs available that enable file format conversion. These tools work by reading the data from the file in format DGN and transforming it into format STEP. This allows the preservation of the original information contained in the file, even after changing its format. Below you will find a list of DGN to STEP converters.

How to convert the DGN file to STEP?
If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of DGN to STEP. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the DGN file:
- Please indicate on your computer the source file DGN, the format of which you are going to change
- Load the DGN file to the application
- Select the output format of the STEP file (the one that we want to achieve)
- Select the location to save the output file STEP on the disk (the place where the program will save the converted file)
- Confirm conversion
- Wait for a moment
- Enjoy the converted STEP file that can be found in the location selected in step 4

I cannot see the file extensions. What should I do?
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
