It may also indicate that files produced using older versions of the software (e.g., over two releases old) will not be accepted.)
(A) DWG (AutoCAD) (Autodesk): This file format is used by Autodesk with their AutoCAD product. This is the preferred way for AutoCAD users to transfer files to the city;
(B) DGN (MicroStation) (Bentley): DGN files created on electronic media for delivery to the city will be created as ASCII files. No reference files will be attached to DGN files submitted to the city; and
(C) DXF (generic): DXF (Drawing Exchange File) is an exchange format developed by Autodesk for use with their AutoCAD product. This format is the preferred exchange format for organizations that use graphics software provided by vendors other than Bentley or Autodesk. Only the ASCII output file option will be accepted for this exchange format. A binary DXF output format option is available, but it will not be accepted as a valid exchange format.
