MicroStation cannot be installed on Mac computer directly. It can be installed only on a Mac running Windows in either Boot Camp, VMWare Fusion or Parallels. It has been reported that Boot Camp with Windows is a successful configuration, however, like other unsupported environments this configuration is experimental. MicroStation 10.0.0 prefs This is currently predefined and locked down. I’ve not been able to change this Question for Bentley Stores last workspace setting used Similar to the Default.cfg in previous versions. MicroStation can/will overcome simple obstacles and yield the same results from printer to printer. Cons: Some tools that exist in other CAD platforms need to be implemented in MS. The ability to select an element and trigger a tool that would then select similar objects based on type, level, color, etc. I use Microstation for some of my design work and will be using Parallel or Bootcamp to run this program on my MBPR, I want to get a Magic Mouse but I do not know if the controls or gestures will work with the program i.e. Panning around an object in 3D.
