The final step is to run Post-process tools that clean up the translated files and fix issues that routinely exist after translation. Using the configuration Wizard will help minimize these problems by providing better understanding of each available option. Many problems that are blamed on translation are actually the result of not understanding or correctly controlling the available translation options. Once completed all the settings can be saved to the project file, along with the files to be translated and the translation can be launched. Configuration is done through a Wizard mode that describes every setting and its impact on the translation or through an Expert mode that allows experienced users to quickly adjust all the options for each category of translation settings. The next major action is to configure the selected translators that Translation Manager uses to do the actual translation work. For example, dropping or exploding complex elements like cells, shared cells, blocks, dimensions, text nodes and multiline text when desired.

The second category of Pre-process action makes modifications to the CAD files before they are translated. The first is to scan all selected source files, either DWG or DGN, and record into ASCII data files information that can be remapped during the translation or verified and repaired after the translation.

Translation Manager includes a “Pre-process” function that provides two categories of action. Translation Manager’s purpose is to simplify the translation process and efficiently handle the problems that routinely occur when translating sets of CAD files between MicroStation DGN format and AutoCAD DWG format and vice versa.
