Import dgn or dxf symbology to ArcGIS

Question

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a way to import symbology from a dgn file to my project in ArcGIS Pro. I have roughly 90 symbols that I need to use, not sure if I can import all at once as a custom style, import individually into a custom style or if its possible at all.

Thanks,

Tim

Thanks Ted,

That's what I figured I'd have to end up doing. Was hoping there would be another work around but that's ok.

I am not an expert but after many years of looking for a similar solutions the only way I have run across is to create a font on your system that matches the cell and use the style manager to control it - extremely time consuming !

This work around was far too cumbersome for me and I have resorted to creating and maintaining a picture library for all my sign types when I need them in GIS.
