I find MicroStation to be powerful but with a steep learning curve, which can be challenging for new users. The interface feels somewhat dated, and the BIM/cloud integration could be smoother. Specifically, I wish for a more modern and intuitive interface with simpler tool organization. Improved integration with BIM software like Revit and cloud platforms such as ProjectWise or ACC would greatly enhance collaboration and data exchange. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

MicroStation provides a stable and dependable environment for users who work with detailed drawings. The tools exist in an organized system which allows users to concentrate on design work without losing focus. The program can handle large files efficiently which prevents system crashes and performance slowdowns. The environment functions as a reliable platform which supports daily drafting operations effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface appears outdated when you compare it to modern design tools. Users experience difficulties in understanding particular functions because they lack intuitive design. The update process continues at Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Powerful Interoperability and Data Integration: MicroStation is known for its ability to seamlessly work with a vast array of file formats—including native DGN, DWG, DXF, and GIS data—without needing time-consuming conversions. This makes it a great "data integrator" that streamlines collaboration across different teams and software platforms.

Comprehensive 2D and 3D Modeling in a Single Environment: It allows professionals to handle both precise 2D drafting and sophisticated 3D parametric modeling within the same application. This all-in-one approach consolidates workflows and ensures consistency from initial design to final documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Steep Learning Curve - especially those transitioning from AutoCAD, find the interface and workflow less intuitive and the commands to be more complex or "clunky" for simple tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used this software for over a year working both as an architectural and electrical designer, and what I like most is its compatibility with other CAD softwares and its versatility to create both 3D and 2D objects and at the same time it serves as tool for topographic surveys.

The are not much things to dislike, but if I had to make a pros and cons analysis, I would say it was difficult for me particularly to get used to the user interface, since I have been using AutoDesk products for a long time, but I could manage the menus quickly after some time.

Microstation interface feels outdated and can be confusing especially after major updates.No other problem i have experienced other than that ,otherwise Microstation is my number one platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the hot button keys that make it very fast and quick to switch between drafting tools and make updates. The compatibility with other drawing file types like AutoCAD make it easier to provide edits for clients in a format they prefer. The reference attachment feature is also very nice to have where you can have a main base file and reference it into multiple drawings rather than recreating it and if anything changes in the base file, it will automatically get updated in the drawings wherever it is referenced.

It can be difficult sometimes understanding how certain tools or preference work, especially when it comes to dimension and scaling of units. Also the disassociation tool when breaking up continuous dimension lines should have an option to break it into singular lines. Also sometimes it is difficult to use the angle dimension when you want the arrows inside or outside the dimension no matter what and have the text either rotated horizontally or vertically no matter the angle at which the dimension text leader is being pulled out at from the angle.

I have found MicroStation to be highly beneficial for my work, particularly in ensuring continued success with our products and meeting project requirements. The software allows us to easily perform necessary tasks and ensures timely submission of projects. I appreciate the functionality of editing drawings extensively, which is crucial for my workflow. Additionally, the capability to convert drawings into other file types is incredibly useful for meeting varying project needs. Using MicroStation alongside Adobe Acrobat for PDF conversion and editing complements my workflow well. The expert support received during the setup process was particularly helpful, especially in navigating the different software sections and assisting with sample uploads and editing drawings. These aspects make MicroStation an invaluable tool for my professional needs, allowing for efficient project management and task completion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The cost of MicroStation is pretty prohibitive. It's very high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Highly functional CAD software for Architects to provide quality 3D designs which are also to real time and easy to draft Engineering drawings and other document.

The platform offers opportunity to transform Architectural design skills and the its view comparison functions are perfect and to create any 3D from zero through MicroStation is excellent. Rendering the final images is quick and simple and the Animation functions are impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The MicroStation design tools are easy to adjust and the first implementation of this drawing tool is very simple for any Architect and no much to learn before becoming a pro on MicroStation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
