    Ch.1: Using General Tools

    MicroStation Basics for New Users - Chapter 1: Using General Tools

    1 Starting MicroStation CONNECT Edition

    The Work page is the first thing seen after launching MicroStation. After watching this video you will be able to select a WorkSpace and WorkSet, understand file branding, and open a DGN file.

    2 Explore MicroStation Interface

    MicroStation CONNECT Edition has a modern industry standard user interface. Understanding it allows for efficient navigation and faster location of commands. After watching this video you will be able to identity the main components of the ribbon interface.

    3 Explore the Models of a DGN File

    MicroStation stores its graphics within models in DGN files, with a DGN able to contain multiple models. There are differing types of models, each optimized for the storage of data. After watching this video you will understand how each model is a separate graphical space and how models assist in faster production of drawings.

    4 Working with Drawing Tools

    MicroStation has some very powerful drawing tools. Here you begin to learn some of those basic tools. In this video you will learn a typical workflow for efficiency, select the tool, adjust those settings and follow the prompts.

    5 Delete Element, Undo, and Redo

    Mistakes happen, and MicroStation has numerous ways to assist. In this video you will learn how the Delete, Undo and Redo commands function.

    6 Save and Compress DGN file

    MicroStation automatically saves design changes as they occur, retaining data that has been deleted or inadvertently brought in from another file. This allows you to go back in time and undo changes throughout your design session. This data can be removed by compressing which purges the deleted elements, optimizing data and providing smaller file sizes.

    7 Create a New Design File

    The first step with any new project will be to create new files. In this video you will create new files but understand how seed files act as templates with preset units, settings and much more. This will speed up your design process.

    8 Create a New Model

    As design data is stored in models, new models can be created. In this video you will learn to effectively store your geometry in various design models.

    9 Explore Design File Settings

    Many settings can be set and stored in DGN files via file Settings. These settings are varied and can save you valuable time rather than setting them in each design session. In this video you will learn how the Working Units , Angle Readout, and other settings can be set and stored in a design for perpetual use.

    10 Element Selection and Element Properties

    Knowing the properties, or attributes, of elements can save you time and reduces errors. In this video you will learn to select an element and review its properties.

    11 Measure Elements

    As you work in a design, you will need to verify data via length, distance and angular measurements. In this video you will analyze geometry with the Measure tools.
