In addition to full support for MicroStation's native DGN format, Bentley’s MicroStation V8 provides editing, viewing and referencing functionality for DWG. This unique capability makes MicroStation V8 the only tool you need to support the world’s most popular CAD formats. The ability to work in multiple formats enables companies to participate in more projects — a clear competitive advantage for them and their organizations.
MicroStation allows you to read and write AutoCAD formats all the way back to version R11. With MicroStation, you can receive an AutoCAD R11 file, edit it in MicroStation V8, and return it to the owner in R11 format.
No other software in the world can do that.
Through a rigorous testing process, Ziff Davis concluded that MicroStation reliably supports native DWG files:
“The key is file fidelity and consistency, which MicroStation V8 alone delivers.”*
Because MicroStation eliminates concerns about deliverable file formats, data exchange and file translations, you can focus on creating your architecture, engineering and construction content.
