Lynda - Migrating from AutoCAD to MicroStation
How can your knowledge of AutoCAD help you adopt the use of MicroStation? This course provides a comparison between corresponding features, allowing those who are familiar with AutoCAD to quickly learn MicroStation, and those who aren't to learn the features in logical order. First, Jeanne Aarhus covers the MicroStation interface, design file concepts, views, attributes, shortcuts, and precise drawing techniques. Next, she shows how to practice drawing commands and manipulate objects. She wraps up the course by walking through the use of several element modification and selection features.
Topics include:
Using menus, settings, and toolboxes
Modifying MicroStation preferences
Working with DGN files
Leveraging multiple views
Using AccuDraw and AccuSnap
Drawing lines, shapes, and forms
Rotating, stretching, and scaling elements
Trimming and modifying elements
Selecting handles and element attributes
