Received dgn files from client & having trouble viewing them? Here’s the list of programs that will help you view dgn drawings or files.
Note: If you want to open dgn file in autocad that’s fine. But I tell you its time consuming! To open dgn file in autocad just use the command “dgnimport“. This is good if you will only open 3-5 dgn drawings. What if you are going to review or plot thousands of these! For sure it will eat too much of your productive time.. 
A colleague assigned to site called me asking for some help for the plotting problem that is bugging him for almost a month now .
To easily diagnose his problem I requested him to send me the print screen of the Autocad error or notification box.
A plot or publish job is already being processed in the background. Only one job can be processed at a time.
Wait for the job to complete, and then try again.
So I was given task by my new manager to hunt 3D software that will be feasible for Plant Solution projects. I quickly create 3D Software structure plan for study and anlyis.
After 30 minutes, I came up with this structure:
Well, we already have Autocad MEP 2009 and REVIT but I want to know what the Autodesk will recommend for the above plan. I’m also eyeing on the Microstation products.
This is what makes me busy these days. Hunting down the best 3D Software for Plant Solution (Waste Water Treatment Plant, District Cooling, Plant Design etc etc..)
Just as I finished updating my Autocad MEP 2009 I immediately execute the shiny Autocad MEP 2009 icon, choose a drawing file from our cad server and pooff…… I was welcomed by the new friendly Autocad Error Aborting dialog box – FATAL ERROR: Out of memory – shutting down. 
This is not a good sign.
