So, I've got a DGN file - I need this file to be a shapefile or geodatabase file that I can open in ArcGIS and mess around with. Essentially we are converting a bunch of CAD stuff over to GIS.

The DGN file has these layers

  • Annotation

  • Point

  • Polyline

    So I'll try a paid service and if they can't, I'll consider the product as a reliable way to sell closed source PHP for future projects; we never entered that market because we thought it would be easy to decode. The funny thing is when I was researching methods to hide ms-sql code and PHP code, I got a lot of replies from people like 'you don't need to, license agreements are there to protect you', 'that's evil, why do you need to hide your code?' Php Formatting and documentation is not a problem.

  • Polygon

  • Multipatch

I can export out the polyline file and get a shapefile which gives me all of my lines, but the part I'm really stuck on is the annotation. With this specific DGN, I really just need the lines and annotations - is there any way to make these annotations work in ArcGIS? I've also tried 'Feature Class to Feature Class' but that seems about as helpful as exporting the Polyline layer to a shapefile.

I should also mention it's a shitload of labeling - I could just go back through and re-label it manually but that would take a lot of time (it's a huge map with a ton of details).

I'm probably leaving something out here - so forgive me. Any advice on this?
