What is MicroStation (Bentley)?

MicroStation is a CAD platform from Bentley Systems used for 2D and 3D design across infrastructure disciplines including transportation, buildings, utilities and industrial plants. It supports detailed drafting, parametric 3D modeling, point cloud processing, and visualization, and serves as the underlying engine for several other Bentley infrastructure applications.

Bentley licenses MicroStation through subscription based commercial terms, often via its usage based Bentley Infrastructure Cloud model rather than fixed per-seat retail pricing, so costs vary by organization and usage. A free trial is available, and MicroStation supports DGN and DWG file formats for interoperability with other CAD tools.
