This review is from: Understanding MicroStation 95/SE: A Basic Guide to MicroStation(R), MicroStation Modeler(R), and MasterPiece (Paperback)

This is a very systematic approach to MicroStation. I had used AutoCad before and found that this book helped me quickly get up to speed on MicroStation. I refer back to it frequently - just wish it was a bit more directed to civil type projects.

Have purchased a number of Microstation texts in the past and this is absolutely as good as they come. I use Microstation daily in my present employment and this book leaves nothing to chance. Any person not giving it a 5 star rating does not work in the "real world". Thanks-

This book barely covers the basics of ustation. Intermediate users should look elsewhere.
