Creating MicroStation files from AutoCAD drawings

A customer called this morning saying he is about to bid on a project that requires that all drawings be submitted in MicroStation (.dgn) format. Over the years we have heard of similar requests and in the past all we could say to the customer is to send a .dxf file. But, there is finally a solution: AutoCAD 2008 has two new commands DGNIMPORT and DGNEXPORT. These should make even the crankiest bid guy happy (well, almost).
