4/5
What do you like best about MicroStation?

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.

What do you dislike about MicroStation?

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.
