    The document compares common commands and terminology between AutoCAD and MicroStation. It provides the equivalent term or command for many drafting elements and functions between the two programs. Key differences are also outlined such as AutoCAD only allowing for a single model space while MicroStation allows for multiple models in a DGN file.

    Drafting tool for automatic snaps.

    Setting that controls whether color, line weight, and line style are set for each level (layer).
    No reference in AutoCAD terminology.
    In AutoCAD, all blocks behave like shared cells. There is no reference in AutoCAD terminology to a normal cell.
    DWG workmode and AutoCAD only allow for a single model. MicroStation DGN workmode allows for multiple models.
    Native file format for each program.
    Command used to demote element/object types to lower level. For example, cells/blocks can be demoted to geometry.
    Name for characteristics of elements/objects.
    [List]
    Vertices on geometry that can be selected and manipulated.
    Place for entering commands/variables manually.
    Organizational structure used to control the appearance of objects in a drawing.
    Setting used to control the appearance of the line work in a drawing.
    Inserting an external reference into the current drawing.
    Place for viewing text messages from program feedback.
    Native 3D modeling kernel for each program.
    Filling of a defined area with a defined pattern.
    Used to control how linework appears when printing or plotting.

    References to the current drawing are stored externally, which keeps the file size down, but still allows for access to the geom
    drafting and plotting. In Microstation, you can have references with Live Nesting or No Nesting. References with No Nesting ar
    as overlays in AutoCAD-based products. MicroStation V7 does not support nested references.
    Files are used as a starting point for newly created files and store commonly used settings. For DGNEXPORT, the chosen seed fi
    determines what master and sub units are used for translation to DGN as well as resolution and accuracy values.

    Commonly used to control the output of a drawing for plotting.


    Multi-segmented lines.
    Element used to store textual information in a cell (block).
    Used to control the visibility of different sections of a drawing.

    There is no direct reference in AutoCAD terminology. Similar options can be found in the taskbar/drafting settings area of Auto
    Used to control command input values that are dependent on unit values.
