MicroStation V8 XM Edition dubbed "most powerful software platform" for AEC industry.
Latest MicroStation release combines power and simplicity to create new category of capability in engineering design.

EXTON, PENNSYLVANIA, USA — Bentley recently announced that the XM Edition of its flagship MicroStation V8 product was now available. XM brings a series of innovations for simplicity to what is already widely regarded as the AEC industry's most powerful software platform.

"The best high-tech products have a common progression: They start simple, then get powerful, then get powerful and simple," said Keith Bentley, Chief Technology Officer. "MicroStation V8 has long distinguished itself as the most comprehensive platform in our market, spanning 2D drafting, 3D modeling, change management, digital security, visualization, animation, and more. Now, with its new interface offering a precise, dynamic match of features to tasks, XM makes it simple to bring the full power of MicroStation V8 to all users in all AEC organizations."

MicroStation V8 XM Edition includes a new, more powerful, and faster graphics system that significantly increases view and navigation speed in 2D and 3D designs. This system leverages Microsoft DirectX technology, the same high-speed graphics technology that drives the video gaming industry. Element transparency, support of 24-bit colors including the PANTONE color system, and display priority have been added to further advance MicroStation's design, drafting, and visualization capabilities.

Innovations of the V8 Generation
Because MicroStation V8 XM Edition is a part of the V8 Generation, it also features the following innovations:

  • DWG Compatibility: Enables MicroStation users to work directly with DWG files, DGN files, or any combination of the two. Only in MicroStation can users fully participate in and deliver projects in either popular format - a clear competitive advantage for them and their organizations.
  • Digital Security: Allows electronic signatures on drawings, as well as multi-level access privileges for projects.
  • Design History: Gives users the ability to isolate and view any change or set of changes to a design. Using Design History, users can record, review, and restore a complete history of modifications, including all data and references.
