The fact that it constantly autosaves is great. I also like the way it handles levels and the way seed files work. There are some great things about MicroStation. > > **Cons**: I least like things like some commands in MicroStation seems more like programing than just hitting a button that should do what you want it to do. Alot of the sequence of things seems backwards in MicroStation as well. > > After working with MicroStation for many years for client required projects, I have become efficient at using the platform, although there are many things I would change in the software to make it flow much easier. Some processes take too many steps that could be programed into one button. Overall, I can generate a great set of 2D documents. ----- ### "Microstation Exceeds Expectations" — 5.0/5 > **Julius** | *13 November 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the software environment of Microstation and the straightforward input of commands without the hassle of being confused with some of its interface. Pull down menus, ribbons and command palettes are easy to use and they are helpful in speeding up drafting works and coordination of drawings are not that difficult. > > **Cons**: Microstation lacks some of the updates that would makes drafting more dynamic when it comes to command generation to provide a quick turnaround. Nowadays, drawing production is critical and I hope Bentley could come up with some innovations that can compete with other drawing softwares. > > I have used Microstation for 5 years and it has delivered what you expect from it when it comes to 2D drafting and documentation. I would recommend Microstation to anyone who would like to experience a different kind of working environment that provides a more flexible software. ----- ### "MicroStation" — 5.0/5 > **Arshad** | *12 October 2021* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: MicroStation appeals to me in every way. Text styles, dimension styles, references, and line styles are among the software's most intriguing features, all of which may be easily altered. Highways can be built in a variety of ways, including with extensive building plans. It is the most trustworthy and high-quality software on the market. The best thing about this show is that it never lets you down. The platform is fairly stable and does not crash all that often. It's good that there aren't any enormous tags on the screen. The various view tabs are useful because moving between them is simple. On the internet, there are a plethora of videos to choose from. The extent to which xRefs can be customized is astounding. > > **Cons**: The user interface is not very user-friendly or intuitive. Some tasks are simple to do yet need a bit more work in it. Internal programming is used for 3D mouse control, however it does not cover all of the features. Dealing with computer issues is exhausting. The vast majority of first-level IT response is based in Asia, and responses can take up to a day because of which smaller issues may take more than required time to get sorted. > > I primarily use MicroStation mostly for CAD and like it die to its powerful but yet lightweight processing engine. ----- ### "the software you must be having when working with DOT" — 5.0/5 > **ahmed** | *18 October 2021* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: one of the best features that it has is Integration with State Departments' rules and regulations.It helps to reduce repetitive work and make it efficient for designers and engineers. > > **Cons**: it is really expensive for asingle person projects and hard to train on > > a lifesaver for Road Projects ----- ### "3D AutoCAD" — 2.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *13 September 2022* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was concise and professional and easy to use > > **Cons**: It was costly and time-consuming and sometimes very frustrating > > I was able to make some parts for cars that I needed ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.sg/software/192416/microstation?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.sg/software/192416/microstation) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
