MicroStation V8 2004 Edition 1 Jul, 2004 By: Robust tools appeal to large design firms Bently Systems' newest release of its flagship application, MicroStation V8 2004 Edition, offers a variety of improvements to existing features and many new items of general interest (figure 1). MicroStation continues to be popular with the world's largest AEC firms-47 of the 50 U.S. State transportation departments have standardized on MicroStation, and a majority of the Engineering News-Record Top 150 Global Design Firms rely primarily on MicroStation and other Bentley software for their projects. Unlike its main competitor, Autodesk, Bentley has changed the internal specifications of the MicroStation file format, DGN, only once, with the release of MicroStation V8 in 2001. One of the primary motivations for the file format rewrite was to implement support for AutoCAD's DWG file format.

At the BE Conference 2004, the annual Bentley user conference held in May, company founder Keith Bentley noted at the end of a question-and-answer technical session that there was 'not a single DWG question.' In past years, he said, participants in such sessions usually had several DWG import and export questions. Bentley uses the OpenDWG code libraries from the Open Design Alliance (). The alliance recently completed a rewrite of the member-shared software, which is included in this release of MicroStation. Design TechnologiesTo support the variety and vast size of projects designed in MicroStation, Bentley focuses on ten core design technologies.

Design history. This feature allows change management, design decision tracking, and the ability to record, review, and restore design data. Configuration options are enhanced in this release. You can combine MicroStation DGN files and AutoCAD DWG files in one model (a superset of a file). Related to references is new flexibility to compose drawings as sheet models (figure 2). Dynamic navigation. AccuDraw and AccuSnap, cursor-and-fingertip tools for drawing and selecting data, continue to be the most popular MicroStation features (figure 3, p.

AccuSnap is now more attentive to snap options, including user-defined snap priorities (called Multi-Snaps). Digital signatures and digital rights. Tools for design accountability and security support industry-standard, third-party signature and verification programs. New features in 2004 include the ability to prevent file encryption. Project management. MicroStation is designed to work with Bentley ProjectWise and related server products for file management on an enterprise scale.

In addition, Bentley cooperates with such document management vendors as OpenText and Documentum. MicroStation treats DWG as a native file format-most design, reference, and edit functions work equally on both DGN and DWG files. The new release fully supports AutoCAD 2004 DWG. New utilities include DWG Audit and Recover, which may eliminate the need for MicroStation shops to keep a copy of AutoCAD on hand. Photorealistic rendering is a built-in feature, so you don't need a separate rendering program (figure 4).

MicroStation supports the ubiquitous VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as well as its custom language MDL. Support for Java (introduced in 1999) will end with the next version of MicroStation, code-named Mozart. Industry specialization. Bentley offers four specialized extensions of MicroStation for civil design, mapping and geospatial, plant schematics, and 3D building design. Each of these extensions began as a third-party application, then over time blended into the product. Modeling options.

MicroStation has always been capable for both 2D and 3D design work. In recent years, it's added feature-based solids modeling and parametric design capabilities to the mix. FeaturesMicroStation is all about picking and clicking. The left mouse button says 'Yes' to such things as enter data points, select a tool, and accept an option.
