Customer wants us to import our 3D model into a dgn file for them to put into their plant layout.
I've had a hard time figuring out how exactly this works.
It's a Microstation / Bently progam.
Every "how to" and tutorial I can find only refers to the 2D drawings.
I've reached out to Microstation for help, but am not getting any, other than "what is your budget for new software?"
They're wanting 3D files. I can't figure out how to save a Solidworks model out as a 3D dwg file.
I think if I can get a 3D dwg file, Autocad can save that out as a DGN file.

I had assumed it was for a drawing. In that case, I'd send the customer the screenshot below and say "These are the options for saving Solidworks assemblies. Which one do you want?"

Try FormZ program. When I needed 3D DWG files I always used this program. The trial version works 30 days without restrictions.
..looks like they use the ACIS kernel.. so, save as (*.sat) ACIS v7
Strike that... that was the past?
So,.. save as native Parasolid x_t
MicroStation can use .dwg files. I often save SW drawings as .dwg's for clients using MicroStation (state DoT's) and haven't had any complaints yet.
