"Microstation - Connect Edition"

**Overall:** Overall it is good experience, quite logical. Wish many options from V8i could be shown with the same logic for Connect Edition (that we use now)

**Pros:** Like the feature of the referencing (vs. AutoCAD - it is much easier and quicker)

**Cons:** When referencing AutoCAD files (what we need quite often) - sometimes it does not work, needs transfer AutoCAD files into Microstation

"Standard Practice for Design"

**Pros:** The software has taken huge strides with Connect Edition, integrating design software into one working space

**Cons:** Lots of crashes, software can be slow, 3D renders are dated.
