Nick Burch commented on TIKA-3721:
----------------------------------

After a quick look, I can't spot any free tools or libraries for working with 
these files. OpenDGN appears to not use our normal sense of open, and seems to 
want an expensive SDK license

Did find a nice document on the DWG file format on the new OpenDGN site - 
[https://www.opendesign.com/files/guestdownloads/OpenDesign_Specification_for_.dwg_files.pdf]
 - but nothing for the DGN format there that I can find

If you're able to locate a tool or library, we can look at adding support. 
Alternately if your company has licensed the SDK, it's fairly easy for you to 
build your own custom Tika parser to wrap it, see 
https://tika.apache.org/2.3.0/parser_guide.html
