I and looking for information on the differences between Microstation
V8 and Powerdraft software.  I have been told that Powerdraft is very
similar to the full Microstation software, but I am having trouble
finding definite information.

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

Yes, PowerDraft is very similar to the full Bentley MicroStation
version.  Bentley puts out PowerDraft as a cheaper version of full
MicroStation, but with reduced functionality.  Probably most important
is the almost complete lack of any 3D tools in PowerDraft.  2D
functionality, however, is very good.  You can even download
PowerDraft for free if you are a student.  Go to Bentley.com and
search for "BEN Powerdraft" and look for the free download.

For specific information on the differences between PowerDraft and
MicroStation you can go to our website at http://www.micro-press.com
and download a comparison between the two versions.  You will also
find a link to Bentley for the download page.

Let me know if I can help further.
