What is MicroStation?
MicroStation is a high-performance CAD solution designed to boost organizational productivity and reduce infrastructure project risk. Engineering firms using MicroStation have reported a 30% reduction in Quality Assurance / Quality Control time thanks to its superior standards adherence and integrated collaboration tools. MicroStation accelerates project delivery by automating tasks in the creation of drawings, models, and visualizations directly from BIM data. Its seamless 2D/3D connection ensures that changes to a model are automatically reflected across all associated documentation, minimizing rework and human error. By supporting natively used formats like DWG without conversion, MicroStation eliminates the time-wasting manual re-entry of data. It is the strategic choice for organizations looking to transition from simple drafting to more efficient, data-driven workflows while maintaining a competitive edge in the infrastructure market.

Choice after trial
Date: Jun 06 2021SummaryI used to use the most common CAD package on my system and I was pretty good at using it. Once I had 10 hours of training on this, I cannot even understand why I did not do this training earlier. I still have that other software taking space on my hard drive. Not using it. It is all Microstation for me.
PositiveIntegrated package with lots of features and a tremendously more intuitive and user friendly interface and lots of power in modeling, and it reads and works on so many other software formats. I can open a DWG, do my work, save t, and nobody knows I did it on MicroStation. They just see the work done. Although expensive, it is not more expensive than the other serious packages but so much more efficient. It saves me hours and my productivity is paying off so quickly against the cost.
NegativeThey don't know how to market their product. It is not cheap but it is not more expensive than the real industry rivals.
