For thirteen years as an AutoCAD Draftsman, AutoCAD from Autodesk is probably the only CAD software that I would say I had used mostly. Although sometimes, I got a chance to use the AutoCAD’s counterpart the Microstation by Bentley. But I only use the microstation rarely, that is why up to now I can’t say I am an advance user of microstation software.

AutoCAD and Microstation are both CAD (Computer Aided Design) applications with some similarities, but both are using different terminologies.

And one obvious difference to these two CAD applications is the way a user using it. In AutoCAD, a user can key-in a command by typing it in a command prompt. But in Microstation a user mostly use these CAD applications by clicking on the icons.
