ReMark Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 From Wikipedia: "DGN (Design) is the name used for CAD file formats supported by Bentley Systems' Microstation and Intergraph's Interactive Graphics Design System (IGDS) CAD programs." Quote
ReMark Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 I believe that the DSTV file format is a standard used by some commercial steel detailing software to go from a CAD drawing to a CNC machine. Quote
ReMark Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 CNC - Computer Numerical Controlled The ability to operate machine tools via sophisticated CAD/CAM programs. From Wikipedia: "The programs produce a computer file that is interpreted to extract the commands needed to operate a particular machine, and then loaded into the CNC machines for production." Quote
ReMark Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 AutoCAD (at least version 2009) can export a DWG to MicroStation DGN file format. I'm pretty sure there is no such ability to export to DSTV file format. Quote
ReMark Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 I found this at the Tekla International website regarding DSTV files: "DSTV format is an industrial standard defined by the German Steel Construction Association." Quote
ReMark Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Are you still looking to,export to dstv? What are the chances that someone who posted a question in 2009 is still waiting for a reply six years later? Let's get real shall we. Please stop dredging up these old threads. Thank you. Quote
Docfatman Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Thanks for your feedback. I hadn't realised that it was so long ago. Having said that I recently got a reply from someone who posted four years ago so it can happen. It's still a subject that has not been resolved so I'm interested to meet people with DSTV issues.

ReMark Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 I'm a skeptic at heart. Post necromancy is frowned upon. If you do have something worthwhile to share regarding the topic (re: DSTV) then post the links here and remove your email address from the other two threads you dredged up. Quote
