MicroStation DGN (*.dgn)

DGN V8 is an updated specification of the original Intergraph DGN file format. It is used for CAD drawings and maps in Bentley MicroStation from 2000 onwards.

The format retains some styling information from the original system and when opened this is used by Cadcorp SIS Desktop.

Expected extension is *.DGN. This is a memory based dataset.
