A workspace is simply a custom MicroStation environment or configuration. By selecting a workspace, you customize MicroStation for a specific job, discipline, project, or task.

Why is it known as a âsubstation? Normally stations are where we catch trains and where people get on and off. By the same analogy we can explain what a substation does. Electricity has to be transmitted over large distances as the place where the power is being generated and the place where it is consumed can be far apart. The electricity is transmitted at very high voltages and low currents to reduce the heat, eddy currents, and other transmission losses.
