The MicroStation Training Manuals 2D Level 2
XM, V8, or V
7

Table of Contents


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.
