DGN (Design File Format)

DGN (Design File Format) is a file type used primarily in engineering, architecture, and construction to store detailed digital drawings and models. It contains precise 2D and 3D design data, such as plans, elevations, and spatial information, often used in CAD (Computer-Aided Design) applications. Developed by Bentley Systems, DGN files facilitate accurate communication of complex designs and technical details among professionals, ensuring consistency and precision in project development. They serve as a standard format for managing and sharing design information within infrastructure and civil engineering workflows.
