MicroStation Basics for Civil Designers - Chapter 4: Drawing with MicroStation for Civil Designers
In the MicroStation CONNECT Edition, there are a host of placement tools that allow you to create new drawing elements efficiently and accurately using tools such as Place SmartLine, Place Circle, Create Region, and others. AccuDraw is an intuitive drawing aid that helps you to define exact distances and angles while creating new elements or manipulating existing ones.
This video is an overview for this video series. In this video series, you will discover how to create new drawing elements efficiently and accurately using tools such as the Place SmartLine.
Part 1: Creating the SubdivisionIn this video, you will utilize the Place SmartLine tool along with the aid of AccuDraw for precision placement of the lines which will make up the subdivision for your project. | https://youtu.be/QaU14S4meM0 |

Part 2: Creating the Subdivision RoadIn this video you will lay out the roadway centerline for the subdivision utilizing the Place SmartLine tool, aided by AccuDraw for precision placement of the points. Along with that, you will also incorporate some of the shortcuts that are built into AccuDraw that make placement more streamlined and efficient. |
Part 3: Offsetting to Create the Roadway FeaturesContinuing in the workflow, now that you have constructed the roadway centerline for the subdivision, in this video you will offset this centerline to create roadway features. | https://youtu.be/LZeAjsKyDjk |
