Bentley Releases French, Italian, German and Spanish Versions of
MicroStation®V8
www.bentley.com
Exton, PA – Bentley Systems, Incorporated today announced that
the French, Italian, German and Spanish versions of MicroStation® V8 are now available
for immediate download. These versions are compatible with Windowsâ 2000/NT 4/98
and can be accessed through Web Downloads and MySELECT CD on the
SELECTservices Online Web site at http://selectservices.bentley.com.
"We are proud that these international editions of MicroStation V8 are already available,"
commented Ted Lamboo, Senior Vice President, Bentley International. "The
simultaneous editions of five local-language editions will further enable our users to work
together for unified project productivity."
Stefan Sode from Gedas, a wholly owned subsidiary of Volkswagen added, "We are very
pleased that the German language edition was available so quickly. It usually takes us
two years to fully implement a new software program, but because MicroStation V8 will
enable us to work with additional file formats, we will begin to use it on special projects
right away."
MicroStation V8 provides a unified design environment for any project without the need to
divide project teams or to re-train them based on file formats. No longer explicitly tied to
the DGN file format, MicroStation V8 will natively reference and edit AutoCAD® DWG
files directly, making it the universal engineering design platform for the world's two most
popular Computer-Aided Design formats. MicroStation V8 fully and transparently
accommodates AutoCAD DWG data including graphics, layers, viewpoints and layouts.
The information in DWG files and DGN files can be interchanged, even in the same
session, via references. This makes back-and-forth or round-trip translations unnecessary
even within projects where both AutoCAD and MicroStation are used.
MicroStation V8's new design history feature automatically maintains a complete change
history in every DGN file, regardless of engineering discipline or application. Design
history adds the dimension of time to design data through a comprehensive log
mechanism called a history journal. The journal is the accountability trail that tracks all
changes made on a design, including what changed, the date and time the changes were
made, who made them and comments about why the changes were made. Empowered
with this knowledge, project managers can more accurately monitor progress, predict
project success, and track project metrics.
