Most users who are migrating their workflows to MicroStation from AutoCAD find it difficult to adapt immediately to the new interface. Navigating through the MicroStation user interface may take up time and can cause some frustration to a new user who has just switched from AutoCAD. To soothe this hiccup, Update 15 introduces the new “General” workflow.
The General workflow transforms the entire MicroStation user interface to emulate the AutoCAD UI in terms of ribbon tabs and tools. The ribbon tool groups have been rearranged and the groups are renamed to match the AutoCAD UI under the General workflow. These changes apply to all the tabs in the workflow.
This new workflow can be enabled from the workflows drop-down menu by selecting General.
Additionally, you can take advantage of the new Dark Theme UI in MicroStation for a better UI experience. The Dark theme can be enabled from File > Settings > User > Preferences > Look and Feel > Apply Dark Themed UI.
