Not sure if DGN is supported, please refer to https://www.ribbonsoft.com/en/products/ ... line-tools
The QCAD GUI supports DGN V8 (Microstation) read only. Refer to https://www.ribbonsoft.com/en/documentation/features

Thank you for replying. Yes, GUI can convert dgn to svg so I just think that it is possible to do it using command line. However, the command is not there on the documentation.

Maybe you can try dwg2svg and if that doesn't support DGN you need to convert it first.

The GUI imports your files and stores an image of all entities.
The native format is DXF, you will notice that by the Auto Save file format.
Export will address the entities image ... And not the file itself.

Thank you for the insight. I tried dwg2svg but it does not work. Maybe it is not supported to convert dgn using command line.
