MicroStation CONNECT Edition SDK

The MicroStation SDK team is pleased to announce the availability of MicroStation CONNECT Edition SDK on Fulfillment Center.  Building on the many innovations recently delivered in MicroStation CONNECT Edition, this Software Development Kit (SDK) offers extension capabilities to application developers using available MicroStation platform Application Programming Interfaces (API) using C, C++, C#.

  • Access DGN files with full fidelity
  • Provide consistent functionality/capabilities across MicroStation-based products
  • Develop simple utilities, customized commands, or sophisticated commercial solutions
  • Embed or extend functionality in MicroStation and Bentley products based on it

The Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications engine is embedded in MicroStation installation, so it does not require the SDK to be installed. The MicroStationDGN object library is a powerful development platform to build upon, access, and integrate within your solutions. Information on MicroStation VBA is included with the documentation that is delivered with the product

The SDK requires installation of MicroStation CONNECT Edition v10.00.00.25. MicroStation is modeling, visualization, and documentation software for professionals who design, deliver and operate the world’s infrastructure.  Learn more about MicroStation here.
