MicroStation
Connected engineering information and digital delivery software
MicroStation is Bentley’s general infrastructure CAD platform. It is the right base tool when precise 2D/3D engineering geometry, geospatial context, DGN/DWG interoperability, reality data and automation are required without the discipline-specific design rules of OpenRoads, OpenPlant or OpenBuildings.

Senior-engineer perspective
Put the software where it improves an engineering decision.
MicroStation is Bentley’s general infrastructure CAD platform. It is the right base tool when precise 2D/3D engineering geometry, geospatial context, DGN/DWG interoperability, reality data and automation are required without the discipline-specific design rules of OpenRoads, OpenPlant or OpenBuildings.
Keep engineering data connected across model, analysis and delivery workflows.
Reduce repetitive manual transfer while preserving discipline-specific review and control.
Apply 2D and 3D infrastructure CAD where that capability directly supports the project decision.
Technical scope
Technical scope that matters to project delivery.
Only capabilities supported by the reviewed source-controlled product record are shown here. CTtec adds engineering context without reproducing Bentley marketing copy.
2D and 3D infrastructure CAD
Geospatial context, point clouds and reality meshes
DGN/DWG and broad engineering-format interoperability with automation
Engineering workflow
Move from engineering inputs to a reviewable project outcome.
The sequence is assembled from the product's reviewed capability/application data and CTtec discipline vocabulary. It is a project-use model, not a claim that every project follows an identical process.
Engineering inputs
Engineering models, project information, standards, connected data and workflow rules
Core engineering work
2D and 3D infrastructure CAD
Validation & review
Geospatial context, point clouds and reality meshes
Project outcome
General civil and infrastructure drafting. Connected project information and repeatable digital engineering outputs
Connected handoff

Product selection guidance
Select the tool around the governing project decision.
Selection guidance is CTtec engineering editorial based on the reviewed product scope. It is intended to support tool choice, not replace project-specific engineering judgement.
Choose MicroStation for general infrastructure CAD and model coordination.
Choose a discipline product when alignments, plant specs, BIM building objects or hydraulic networks need domain-specific rules and analysis.
- Confirm the current Bentley system requirements and licensing terms before deployment.
- Validate project data standards, coordinate systems, units, and exchange formats during implementation planning.
Connected engineering workflow
Interfaces, handoffs and adjacent Bentley applications.
Connections are shown only where they are present in the reviewed product record.
Engineering & commercial FAQ
Questions to resolve before the tool becomes part of the project workflow.
Answers use the reviewed product data, CTtec engineering editorial, Bentley public pricing and clearly separated CTtec sales-support context.
