    PDMS. From PDMS he can only produces Microstation files dgn. From
    Microstation, he have a lot of possibilities to export the files: sat, IGES,
    vrml...

    In the following order are the normal practical choices for transferring 3D
    data from a non-SW platform to SW. They are given in the order of
    desirability.

    PARASOLID
    STEP
    IGES

    Certain proprietary formats also can be used:

    UG
    Pro/E (restrictions on version)
    DXF/DWG for 2D

    Otherwise you will have to use a service bureau.

    Microstation 3d is based on the Parasolid Modelling Engine just like
    Solidworks so use the export as Parasolids option in Microstation.
