When was Microstation first introducted to the market? I used it in college during the mid 90's to do mechanical design work. At that time it was with Intergraph and later changed to Bentley. Who orginally developed the software? I read that Intergraph developed Solid Edge and later sold it to Unigraghics. I was wondering if the same team developed Microstation too.

I know Microstation has gotten away from the mechanical design side of things. I miss using it. It's a great program and surely beats using AutoCAD any day.
