For MicroStation V8 the DGN file format has been expanded to include essentially all of the graphic entities, objects and other concepts of AutoCAD's DWG files. When a DWG file is opened in MicroStation, the DWG entities are converted to equivalent DGN elements. Because the DGN format is a superset of DWG, there are no losses resulting from concept misalignment and this process can be thought of as more of a reformatting than a translation.
