The MicroStation V8 Workbook by Michael K. Ward & Paul S. Choi, College of DuPage, 2002.

ISBN 1-58874-145-1

List Price $39.95

Like its antecedents, The MicroStation V8 Workbook is written by a teacher who employs it everyday in teaching students not only the intricacies of MicroStation’s powerful CADD software, but also the effective use of CADD in producing technical drawings and models.  The MicroStation V8 Workbook is a complete educational and training guide for mastering 2D applications of MicroStation V8.

The 32 lessons present a logical sequence in which 2D CADD tools are introduced to students.  The lessons take into consideration both the rate at which students can successfully absorb new tools and concepts as well as practical groupings of tools, which allow students to practice while creating realistic drawings for each lesson.

This workbook is designed to serve as a support text for classroom instruction or in-house training as well as a documented self guided workbook for individualized instruction.  Among the 32 lessons are instructions in using MicroStation V8’s many new features including reading and writing native DWG files, Popset tool box setting, dimension styles, AccuDraw and Accusnap.
