This course is designed for the new MicroStation user and builds a solid foundation in the concepts, tools and features found in the MicroStation drawing environment. Starting with setting up a drawing and concluding with plotting, students walk through a typical workflow using the tools and features of the latest version of MicroStation. Interspersed throughout are real-world design problems solved using the concepts learned to that point in the course. Various engineering disciplines are represented in the form of hands-on exercises. This offering is taught using MicroStation V8 XM Edition. Upon completion, students will be able to create and edit 2D designs using established design standards in a production environment and have a solid understanding of MicroStation.
