Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Micro-Press.com publishes high-quality textbooks that focus on the areas of MicroStation software, Architecture and Construction, and Blueprint Reading. To provide affordable books, our books are spiral bound and have paper covers, the most cost-effective method of publishing. In addition, spiral bindings allow our books to be opened flat or folded back on themselves for convenient desktop reading.

From the Author

The MicroStation Lab and Trainin Manuals are designed to direct readers through the complexities of MicroStation so that they fully understand how the software works and that they develop a full range of practical skill sets. It was important to me that these books were equally effective when used in a computer lab or as a self-directed course manual. Consequently, I have presented the information in step-by-step sequences that allow users to easily retrace or repeat their actions. I have also tried to present information in a logical progression that builds and reinforces skill levels, together with an extensive selection of examples and small exercises for skills development.

Excellent book for first time users of Microstation. From opening your first design file to plotting and printing, each Module has easy to follow step by step instructions complete with illustrations. There are practice lessons and the numerous "tool tips" provided are invaluable bits of information that are truly helpful. If you are looking for an excellent Microstation training manual, this is a great value.

This is just an excellent computer book/series. If you work through this book page by page you will absolutely master MicroStation. He gives every topic just the amount of detail you need to understand it and use it proficiently. I like how this book is bound too - with the spiral plastic binding so that the pages lay flat or on a book stand. It just goes to prove that the author has the student in mind.

This guide was very helpful to get the basics of Microstation down. I was used to Autocad, and this guide helped with the basic concepts that I needed to know in order to be able to use Microstation properly.
