MicroStation tip for AutoCAD users and people who just start using references. Learn the details about reference dialog.

In this MicroStation tutorial, you will learn how to place drawings in sheet. We do exercise for 2D and 3D model!

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a sheet. Then save it as a seed. This preparation is for arranging our design before plotting.

We covered how to use primitive 3d solids in MicroStation in previous tutorial. In this MicroStation tutorial we are going a bit further to create object. We are going to use create 3d solid and modify it. Basically, these are the steps to create solid 3d object: Create a closed profile. Create a solid using [...]

This is the first of a simple MicroStation 3D modeling tutorial series, from basic modeling tool, rendering, to creating animation. To follow the exercises, you need to be be familiar drawing in MicroStation 2D. If you are not familiar with MicroStation 2D yet, you can try to read this MicroStation tutorial series first. Creating and [...]
We already discussed several annotation tools. This is the last one. Another ‘must have’ annotation element in a drawing is pattern. Pattern is used to show object materials, show section area, and some other purposes. In MicroStation, we have the types of patterns: hatch area, crosshatch area, and pattern area. Hatch and crosshatch are used [...]

We have discussed about using text and cell to annotate our drawings. Let us explore further about annotation tools. This time, we are going to discuss how to use MicroStation dimension. Even if we create our drawings in exact sizes, plot it in certain scales, we still need to add dimensions. It doesn’t make sense [...]
