This trainning is designed for experienced CAD user who wants to transition existing CAD knowledge to MicroStation skills. To ease the transition to MicroStation, parallel references are continually given, showing how MicroStation handles operations familiar to the CAD user. Subjects covered range from the initial setup of a new design file to incorporating existing data from non-MicroStation CAD products. Plotting and other output considerations are covered, including pen table development and usage.
Learning Objectives: You will learn how to apply MicroStation to the design process and be aware of issues surrounding translation files to and from MicroStation.
