Unable to Load DGN File Using Aspose.CAD: Unsupported Version Error

Aspose.CAD Product Family
1

Summary
I am encountering an issue while trying to load a .dgn file using Aspose.CAD (version 24.9) . The error message indicates that the .dgn version is not supported. Specifically, the error states:
Error Message :
Exception in thread "main" class com.aspose.cad.cadexceptions.ImageLoadException: Drawing loading failed: The Dgn version isn't valid. Only Dgn: V7 are currently supported.

Code Snippet

Here is the code I am using to load the .dgn file:

DgnImage dgnImage = (DgnImage) Image.load("C:/Users/****/TEST00001075.dgn");

Details

  • Library Version : I am using Aspose.CAD 24.9 .
  • File Details : I am unsure of the version of the .dgn file I am working with. Is there any way to programmatically determine the version of the .dgn file?
  • Question : Does Aspose.CAD support .dgn versions other than V7 ? If not, are there plans to add support for other versions?

Request for Assistance

Could someone please help me with the following:

  1. Confirm whether the .dgn file version is supported by Aspose.CAD .
  2. Provide guidance on how to handle .dgn files of unsupported versions (e.g., conversion tools or alternative libraries).
  3. Share any updates on future support for additional .dgn versions.

@raviraja.m47,
Hello.
We have support only for DGN V7, the documentation for V8 is not available and we don’t have plans to support it at the moment. All your files have V8 version.
