It was followed by a CLIX version and later a DOS version. MicroStation Mac (v3.4) was released in late 1989.

MicroStation 3.0 was released on multiple operating systems. Menus increased the ease of accessibility for the user. Before the addition of menus, keyboard-entered commands were the only form of interaction available. The MicroStation 3.0 release introduced menus to the program. While that doesn't sound very exciting today, for users of terminals attached to minicomputer-based systems (like IGDS) it was a breakthrough in productivity. Dynamics, showing the element in its intermediate state during placement and editing was available in this version. It was able to place most graphic primitives and cells and had simple modification capabilities. DGN design files was introduced early in 1987. The first MicroStation with the ability to write to.

MicroStation Version 1, which allowed users to download files directly from their VAX system to their PC and view and plot them (a very primitive Bentley View), was introduced to the market in 1986. At the time, the IBM AT personal computer, based on Intel's 80286 microprocessor, was just becoming available, and their tests showed that it had enough processing power, disk speed, and graphics capability to do the job. Their PseudoStation experience convinced them that there was a ready market for a stand-alone personal computer-based CAD system compatible with the Intergraph CAD file format. They successfully introduced the commercial version of PseudoStation in 1985. Bentley, founded Bentley Systems in 1984. Keith, in conjunction with his brother, Barry J.

Keith persuaded duPont to allow him to commercialize the software in exchange for a site license to the resulting improvements. The product greatly expanded access to such designs, which previously could be accessed only through very expensive special purpose workstations. PseudoStation, MicroStation, and the Origins of Bentley Systemsīentley System's first product was PseudoStation, which allowed users of Intergraph's VAX systems to use low-cost graphics terminals to view and modify the designs on their Intergraph IGDS (Interactive Graphics Design System) installations.
