FAQ
KML to DGN Conversion
What are KML files?
The KML format uses a variant of the XML language, called Keyhole Markup Language, to manage geospatial data. It is used for rendering detailed maps by browsing applications such as Google Earth. The KLM format supports various handy features, including placemarks, paths and ground overlays, and can be edited with any text editor.
What are DGN files?
DGN stands for "design" and represents an extension typically used for CAD (Computer Aided Design) files created with Bentley Systems' MicroStation or with IGDS (Intergraph's Interactive Graphics Design System) — two popular programs used by architects, engineers, constructors and designers. DGN files can include sizeable building projects with a rich amount of details, usually have a very large size and can be viewed with a limited number of CAD programs.
