  <title>Help with Cad to Shapeways Workflow</title>
  <link>http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&amp;goto=46613&amp;th=9088#msg_46613</link>
  <description><![CDATA[I am trying to create a 3D shape to uplaod to shapeways. I am comfortable drawing in Microstation, so I started to compile the shape there.  Now I am would like to determine the best way to get from .dgn format to something shapeways can print.<br />
<br />
The attached .dgn is in progress, and just the beginning of the part I am trying to &quot;machine&quot;.  I wanted to pause and see if I could have some success transitioning to shapeways before I proceed much further using cad as my design platform.<br />
<br />
Any advice?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[It looks like .DGN is the program's CAD format. You need to export a (supported) mesh format. The <a href="http&#58;&#47;&#47;docs.bentley.com/en/MicroStation/" target="_blank">Microstation help docs</a> claim that you should be able to save to STL, which is good for anything except Color Sandstone.<br />
<br />
<table border="0" align="center" width="90%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td class="SmallText"><b>Quote:</b></td></tr><tr><td class="quote"><br />After selecting an element (or selection set), opens the Save As Stereolithography File dialog. By default, Files of type is set to STL files (*.stl). The controls in this dialog are analogous to those in the Save As dialog<br />
<br />
Clicking Save opens the Export STL dialog, which is used to adjust the settings for exporting the STL file.<br />
