the high-end PowerPC- native CAD package runs on steroids.' This was the last version to be supported in Linux. with added several truly useful features. The 'V5 for Power Macintosh provided a comprehensive tool set for both 2-D and 3-D CAD. New capabilities included binary raster support, custom line styles, settings manager, and dimension driven design. The 1992 release of version 4 introduced the ability to write applications using the MicroStation Development Language (MDL). Intergraph MicroStation 4.0 was released in late 1990 and added many features: reference file clipping and masking, a DWG translator, fence modes, the ability to name levels, as well as GUI enhancements. In 1987, MicroStation 2.0 was released, and was the first version of MicroStation to read and write DGN files.Īlmost two years later, MicroStation 3.0 was released, which took advantage of the increasing processing power of the PC, particularly with respect to dynamics. In 1985, MicroStation 1.0 was released as a DGN file read-only and plot program designed to run exclusively on the IBM PC-AT personal computer. PseudoStation as well as Intergraph's IGDS program ran on a modified version of Digital Equipment Corporation's VAX super-mini computer. Its initial development was a result of Bentley Systems's experience developing PseudoStation released in 1984, a program designed to replace the use of proprietary Intergraph graphic workstations to edit DGN files by substituting the much less expensive Tektronix compatible graphics terminals. From its inception MicroStation was designed as an IGDS (Interactive Graphics Design System) file editor for the PC. MicroStation was initially developed by Bentley Systems and sold and supported by Intergraph in the 1980s.
