Hi, I am working on stuff in 2 different saved files and I need to get them together seems like the only file I can import is dgn any idea how to get dwg.

If you need to combine two files you can simply select the objects and copy from one drawing with Ctrl+C and paste into the other drawing with Ctrl+V.

 

Another way would be to use the INSERT command and insert one drawing into the other. This will insert the drawing as a block which you can then explode.

 

Another way would be to use the XREF command to insert one drawing into the other. Then, after you reference the file into the drawing you can bind it to make it a permanent part of the drawing. Binding will insert the drawing as a block which you can then explode.

Use Ctrl+shift+C to copy the same drawing data from a specific base point then  Ctrl+V to the other drawing pasting to a corresponding point or anywhere you like.

 

Also look at AutoCad commands COPYBASE and COPYCLIP.
