95% of the world’s infrastructure is designed, constructed and

maintained using DGN and DWG files. With MicroStation, users can

directly edit content in both file formats.

MicroStation is a platform for innovation within a comprehensive

software portfolio, enabling users to customize applications using VBA

and to “go vertical” with point solutions for increased productivity.

MicroStation is used by everyone, including architects, engineers,

cartographers and contractors on AEC projects, and is a standard

among the ENR 150 Global Design Firms.

ProjectWise StartPoint provides entry-level collaboration for users

to manage, find, & share CAD content and reference files using

SharePoint. New V8 XM Links sets are also supported.

Microsoft DirectX graphics powers dynamic manipulation of

models, enables element transparency, PANTONE® and RAL®

Color Systems and photorealistic visualization/animations.

MicroStation gains task-based tools and element templates which

together enable teams to work consistently and create consistent

work. Tasks also provide consistency across vertical applications.

An intuitive new interface places powerful new features within easy

reach and keyboard position mapping increases a users performance

and productivity by up to 300%

An unchanged DGN file format and continued V8 CAD standards

support/checking means that full team interoperability is preserved

between MicroStation and AutoCAD.

Integrated Google Earth Tools enable users to publish DGN and

DWG models to the Google Earth™ 2D/3D environment. Users can

also import SketchUp models from the 3DWarehouse.

Innovations by MicroStation drive interoperability

Native DWG Support enables users to work directly with DWG files,

DGN files, or any combination of the two. In MicroStation users have

one CAD platform for all applications.

PDF Publishing and Integration enables users to share 2D/3D

designs in the world’s most widely accepted file format. And with V8

XM users can now attach PDFs as a reference to DGN and DWG files.

Design History provides a complete revision control system, enabling

users to track and view incremental changes and to validate those

changes using Digital Signatures to confirm the status of a document.
