I am new to microstation and I am having trouble converting a microstation v8 drawing into a microstation v7 drawing. It started as an AutoCad drawing and I imported it into Version 8. Then I found where I could do a "save as" to save it as a version 7 drawing. Everytime I do, I get an error and then it creates the file, but it is empty and the file size is 0kb. Can someone please helpl me.

The ACAD forum won't really help. If there is a dgn forum, that might do it. ACAD can't/won't/whatever open anything but dwg.
Our firm has both, I only use ACAD. I can tell you that we keep our cells (what ACAD folks call Blocks, I gather) carefully separated by V7 and V8, with strict directives not to open V7 files using V8. I would guess, from that, that something happens to make them unusable in V7 again.
