Right, thanks, I wasn't thinking of that when I wrote my reply.
Guess it makes sense for a closed format such as DWG. Might not make as
much sense to use it for DGN which is more open and does not need to be
reverse engineered.

Just a comment on that: In order to build the DWG driver, you or your company,
need to be part of some kind of alliance to be able to download a full version
of the Teigha SDK. AFAIK

I am trying to open sample DGN file, but it fails. I guess that the
reason is unsupported version (man pages says: Microstation DGN files
from Microstation versions predating version 8.0 are supported for
reading.)
As I understand it, version 8 is completely different.
Is there any possibility how to read this file using GDAL library?
AFAICT, not unless you figure out version 8 format and implement it, or pay
someone to do that work for you.
I just want to add that Teigha, which can currently be used to open DWG
in GDAL, does support DGN version 8. So, if someone wants to add that
support, I'd suggest looking at the DWG driver.
The DWG driver has:
class OGRDWGServices : public ExSystemServices, public ExHostAppServices
You'd need to have something like:
class OGRDGNServices : public OdRxSystemServices, public OdDgHostAppServices
I would not be surprised if considerable chunks of the DWG driver could
be generalized to work for both DWG and DGN,

Is it possibly to get the originator to
provide it in some other format (e.g. DXF, noting that will lose the
georeferencing)?
