Welcome

- [Jeanne] Hi, my name is Jeanne Aarhus. Let me welcome you to this course which focuses on using AccuDraw in MicroStation V8i. This course is probably one of the most important in the MicroStation series since using to use AccuDraw efficiently, is the key to precision input in MicroStation. The AccuDraw drawing utility provides you with tools and shortcuts to enter X, Y, Z coordinates and distance and angles so that your drawing is accurate. You also use AccuDraw to modify and manipulate elements with ease. First, AccuDraw is not an intuitive utility. You have to work at it to perfect it. So don't get discouraged. It really is worth the effort to master. In this course I will be teaching you methods for using AccuDraw through various exercises so that you too can master it and embrace its capabilities. I do make the assumption that you are somewhat familiar with the basic commands in MicroStation. And I will cover not just how to use AccuDraw, but how to configure it and customize it to fit your needs. Hopefully, there are a few tips and tricks thrown in that you don't know yet. I'm really excited to show you how easily you can become more productive and how you can eliminate those legacy Key-Ins. My goal is to simplify this everyday task and to get everyone using it everyday. After all, automated drafting techniques equal a more productive workflow. So let's get started using MicroStation's V8i's AccuDraw utility.
