4.0 out of 5 stars
Preferable to _Inside MicroStation_,
By A Customer
This review is from: Harnessing Microstation V8 (Paperback)
Looking to train our user base as part of our V8 migration, we conducted a quick study of the available published books on V8. Bentley's own supplied course material are fine as workbooks, but not much use otherwise and no doubt are gathering dust on many shelves the world over.Having compared _Harnessing MicroStation_ to _Inside MicroStation_ (by Frank Conforti) we eventually decided to purchase this book in bulk for our students. In spite of annoyances (like the awful typography and relative lack of reader-friendly illustrations) this is a book which is much more thorough in its treatment of Bentley's flagship new version, and will be of better long-term value to CAD professionals.

Excellent book for Microstation beginner,

This review is from: Harnessing Microstation V8 (Paperback)
This book explains every commands in Microstation, has pictures of every dialog boxes there are and the exercises inside the CD will take you step by step through everything cover in the chapter. A very good book to learn at home by yourself. Recommend for AutoCAD or beginning user.

Helped me go from AutoCAD to Microstation,
By
This review is from: Harnessing Microstation V8 (Paperback)
I am fairly familiar with AutoCAD but was pretty lost when it came to Microstation. I found this book very helpful to get me up to speed in Mictrostation. With the background I had in AutoCAD I quickly got through most of this book. I spent about 3 days in the book and feel pretty comfortable with the nuts and bolts of Microstation.
