PowerDraft Software |
| Our MicroStation training manuals work equally well with Bentley's PowerDraft software.
PowerDraft is a slightly reduced-function version of MicroStation produced
by Bentley, Inc. PowerDraft has a lower price point than full
MicroStation versions, and as of January 2005, PowerDraft is
available free to students.
PowerDraft
is a valuable teaching and learning aid and should be fully utilized
by students in all design areas. Click here for more information. |
MicroStation Distance-Education Downloads |
To
assist participants in our MicroStation distance-education courses
(or anyone else for that matter!), we have compiled a selection
of drawing exercises that relate to the Modules in the MicroStation
Training Manual Level 1. (Drawings for the MicroStation
Level 2 and Level 3 courses will be added at a later date.) Each file is
in Acrobat PDF format and must be viewed with the Acrobat viewer.
You may then print the drawing pages for your use. If you do not
have the Acrobat viewer, click
here to download. If you have problems viewing the files on
your browser, right-click the links, save the files to your hard
drive, and view them from there.
Read about our cost-effective and very productive Distance-Education courses here.
We
welcome your input to this resource area and ask you to submit
drawing exercises that you would like to share with fellow MicroStation users. We will, of course, acknowledge your contributions. |
