Bentley MicroStation Design Reader/Writer

The Bentley® MicroStation Design Reader/Writer allows FME to access files used by the MicroStation and Intergraph Interactive Graphics Design System (IGDS).

Intergraph made public the specification for this file format, which they call the Intergraph Standard File Format (ISFF)1. This chapter assumes familiarity with this format.
