MicroStation V8 for AutoCAD Users
This new text assists the student who has learned the AutoCAD product and now needs to make the transition from that environment to the MicroStation design format. Conversely, the text can be used to transition from MicroStation to AutoCAD. Each chapter presents a quick summary of a specific feature in AutoCAD, followed by the related feature in MicroStation.
The student who must work with both products will find this text to be a solid basis for understanding how "the other side" thinks. Translating data between the two products, cross training, and other issues are discussed thoroughly
* coverage in this edition includes exploration of new 3D examples and side-by-side drawing sessions
* equal treatment on both AutoCAD and MicroStation features appeals to the experienced user of either product
* real world examples show how each product is used to develop a design so users identify with the CAD product they use and see how the other product accomplishes the same operation
* thorough coverage of translating drawings between AutoCAD and MicroStation provides vital information for users working with both platforms
