The MicroStation product team is excited to announce MicroStation 2026.2, built to help infrastructure teams design, automate, and deliver with greater speed and confidence.

This release reduces friction across everyday workflows with smarter assistance, expanded geospatial support, and easier deployment management. From faster file setup to more precise coordinate support and guided automation, MicroStation 2026.2 helps users stay focused on design while giving administrators more control over installation readiness. Key enhancements focus on Automation & Assistance, File Creation & Geospatial Support, and Deployment & Installation.

Automation & Assistance

Python Assistant (Technology Preview)
The enhanced Python Assistant turns intent into action with guided automation, workflow planning, and clearer execution feedback—helping users reduce repetitive work and automate with confidence.

File Creation & Geospatial Support

File Creation
Expanded file creation options help teams start projects faster in the right formats, including DGN library files, cell libraries, hidden-line files, and sheet files.
New Vertical Datums
New vertical datum support improves geospatial accuracy and alignment with regional survey, GIS, and terrain data, including the JGD2011 and JGD2024 vertical systems and the NZVD2016 height system.
Google Maps Light and Dark Styles
Two new Google Road map styles, Road Light and Road Dark, have been added. These styles improve the visibility of CAD and GIS content over the map while retaining the existing default Road style. The new styles are available for both Google Maps background maps and Google 2D raster maps.
