About bentleyuser.org

Bentleyuser.org is a site set up in 2000 by members of The MicroStation Community in the UK to provide news, analysis and resources for the wider community of Bentley Systems engineering software users.

With the web now an essential medium for business and Bentley itself increasingly making architecture and engineering seamless web-wide processes, it was clear that the new Millennium required a deeper web presence for users in our community to call home.

To help the site grow we are reliant on you, the Bentley user, to suggest improvements, write articles for the site and to supply techtips and open source code for other users to download. We're always on the lookout for sources of constructive content (i.e. no sniping or corporate flaming) to enrich the bentleyuser.org experience so get in touch if you have an idea for us.

The Bentley Community (UKI) is a charity and bentleyuser.org was set up as a not-for-profit site but we we will be seeking commercial sponsorship to make the site self-funding. Feel free to approach us with generous offers of funding to make this possible.

Don't forget to register for our e-zine list by clicking the link on the home page. This will ensure that you're sent occasional update emails to alert you to new content on the site.

All questions and suggestions should be sent to our site editor by email:
