"30 Years plus with Microstation"
What do you like best about MicroStation?

Microstation is a great CAD tool for BIM, Building, Plant, and general CAD functionality. It is easy to use and allows the user to update Microstation and AutoCAD CAD Files. The ribbon in Microstation Connect is similar to Microsoft Office products, making it easy to manipulate to meet the CAD Designer's needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MicroStation?

Some features in AutoCAD would be great to have in Microstation. For instance, the ability to open multiple drawings simultaneously in one session. In Microstation, the user has to open multiple sessions to do this same function. This one change would be huge for Microstation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It's difficult to go wrong with MicroStation"
What do you like best about MicroStation?

What I really appreciate is the common user experience between all the packages based on MicroStation. Most importantly, the dgn file format is extremely versatile, allowing for much more content to be stored in a CAD file than other formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MicroStation?

The only real downside is that MicroStation is not particularly well known in all countries compared to other products, so you often have to convert designs and drawings into neutral interchange file formats to exchange design information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reasonable CAD"
What do you like best about MicroStation?

Microstation is definately different than AutoCAD. It has plenty of power, overall is pretty stable. One of the better things is that is customizable. One of the worst things is that it is highly customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MicroStation?

As I previously said, there are almost too many things that can be customized in the software. Often times a user can get lost as one "toggle" isnt correct. This causes hickups and issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
