What do you like best about MicroStation?

I mean you are able to develop CAD drawings with it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MicroStation?

It uses other file formats. DGN instead of DWG. Autocad and civil 3d seem to be there standard in my opinion. So when I get DGN files it's frustrating and time wasting. Autodesk and Microsation should share the same file extension or merge. This would save a lot of headache in the industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wouldn't say there's downsides, but if you're not too familiar with CAD products such as AutoCAD, it might be a difficult for you at first but the good thing is the more you use it the easier it gets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about MicroStation?

I like the features and the modeling environment. The drafting environment seems well-thought out as well, but I have limited experience in that aspect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about MicroStation?

Microstation isn't as prevalent in the industry as say, Revit. I wouldn't spend too much time getting good at Microstation unless I worked at an office that uses it primarily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
