The MicroStation Training Manuals
XM and V8 2D Level 2 contains sixteen Modules (seventeen in the
XM version), each written to lead the user through the information
and exercises in a logical sequence. Each Module has a suggested
time of completion based on a user with a good knowledge of drafting
and some knowledge of another CAD program, such as AutoCAD. Users
with no prior CAD skills will likely take longer to complete the
instruction.
The
XM, V8, and V7 manuals have essentially the same subject contents,
although each have been written to fully reflect the many evolutionary
changes to the software. The V8 manual is also applicable to PowerDraft.
