MicroStation PowerDraft®
Drafting Software for Your Most Demanding Projects

Design and Document Quickly and Accurately

With MicroStation PowerDraft, you have the power to design,
document, and detail projects of any size or complexity.
Whether you are an architect, engineer, constructor, or GIS
professional, you can use MicroStation PowerDraft as a
companion to any modeling or CAD design application. More
than just computer-aided-drafting software, MicroStation
PowerDraft enables you to develop and produce precise and
rich physical and electronic deliverables easily and reliably.
You can develop and document 2D CAD designs with an unmatched range
of powerful, intelligent drafting and constraints tools. Unlike other technical
drawing software, MicroStation PowerDraft enables you to produce polished
drawings, schedules, and reports directly from 3D and BIM models. You can also
automatically annotate and build reports based on object properties and take Use and precisely incorporate design data in nearly any format.
