What is MicroStation drafting?

MicroStation drafting refers to the process of creating technical drawings and plans using MicroStation, which is a computer-aided design (CAD) software developed by Bentley Systems. It is commonly used by architects, engineers, and drafters for producing precise 2D and 3D drawings in fields like civil engineering, architecture, and construction. MicroStation drafting involves generating layouts, schematics, and detailed designs that help communicate project specifications and support the construction or manufacturing of various structures and systems.

What is the difference between Microstation Drafting vs Civil Drafting?
