Convert JT to DGN

What is JT file?

The .JT file extension is most commonly associated with the JT Open CAD software, a lightweight 3D modeling program developed by Siemens. This file format is an open source, neutral data format used to store and exchange 3D product models. JT Open CAD files are comprised of three-dimensional models with user attributes, detailed product geometry, and image data. JT Open CAD files are also used to represent product hierarchies and visual configurations. [ ⏩ ] JT file extension

What is DGN file?

A .DGN file is a MicroStation Design graphic file created with Bentley Systems MicroStation. This vector-based graphics format is used in CAD (Computer Aided Design) to store drawings made in MicroStation. When saved, a .DGN file contains a design's layout, text, hatches, images, objects, cell as well as other elements of the drawing.File Information . [ ⏩ ] DGN file extension

How to convert the file from JT to DGN?

To successfully convert the JT file to DGN, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.JT). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case DGN (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than DGN).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. JT to DGN. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting JT files to DGN files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension DGN, while before this step we had the JT file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new DGN file, or not.
