Problem

After saving 3DS file to DGN in a different folder, the material texture is not found.

Solution

Move the image to the same folder as the new DGN file.

The 3DS file needs an external image to display a texture (just like MicroStation) and will need to be located via one of several search methods (see help documentation on Materials for more information).
If the image(s) for the texture(s) was originally located in the same folder as the original file (_DGNDIR) the image will need to be manually moved to the new location of new file.

Notes:

This is true for any format that supports materials in MicroStation.
