The program is very intuitive meaning buttons and ocmmands make sense. There are usually multiple ways to do a task and when I can't figure out something, usually a quick search online will net an an easy to apply answer. The problem is generally a lack...
Not enough characters, not much I like about the software. The surfaces are cumbersome and are difficult to use, especially when doing earthwork. No tool to use dview twist easier. No reason to use UCS if in Civil/Survey business except for very special...
I think MicroStation is the best software for Civil and Rail technicians, designers and engineers in the world. You do not need any special course to start. I think with help from more experienced users is fully-sufficient. In each company where I worked...
The user interface definitely needs to be adjusted. Don't get me wrong, the old Microstation was much worse but some more tweeks need to be made. They need to update more often too, not like the AutoCAD every year update but the time span between updates...
