Bentley is beta-testing MicroStation V5 on the Power Macintosh and will offer an upgrade program for users that want to run computer-aided design applications on a Mac or Power Mac Existing. Your team can aggregate their work on MicroStation, including designs and models created with Bentley's discipline specific BIM applications (OpenRoads, Open Buildings, etc.) As a result, you can create comprehensive, multi-discipline models, documentation, and other deliverables.

Mouse functionality has been greatly expanded by the inclusion of useful tools assigned to the typical two button mouse with wheel. The wheel is now referred to as “XButton 1” and, by default, is the pan drag command. Button assignments are now stored as a file that can be saved by the user. The default name for this file is default.btnmenu.Mouse buttons are assigned as follows:

Data <D> – Used to select commands, icons, pull-down menus, etc. The data button is also used to accept or confirm a command or tentative snap.

XButton 1 <M> – Used as the pan view command in the active view.

Reset <R> – Used to release a current operation or reset a command.

Tentative <T> – Used as a tool for temporarily selecting a location or element.
