    I own both AutoCAD and microstation . We use AutoCAD for about 90% of our
    business and Microstation for about 10%. What we have been doing is doing
    all the work in AutoCAD and then importing into Microstation, most of the
    time it goes, sometimes easier than others.

    The biggest stumbling block to using Microstation more is the huge
    investment in time it takes to train and learn the platform. If you are an
    AutoCAD user, going to Microstation feels very counterintuitive to what you
    are used to, although I respect microstation users that find Microstation
    more straightforward to deal with.

    Thus, I was wonderiing, if anyone has come up with a microstation add on so
    that you can work in Microstation with the same commands and menus that you
    are used to in AutoCAD. I know the lisp routines won't go, but just the
    basics of copying, moving around, edting text, etc, it would eliminate alot
    of frustration in tryint to go from one to the other.

    I heard MS V8 has some ability like this, but, I really don't what it does.

    Thanks for all responses.

  3. In addition to what Inga mentions, the MicroStation V8 documentation is quite helpful in this area. See
    http://docs.bentley.com/en/MicroStation/ustnhelp1006.html for an online version. There are also some helpful tips and technotes (for
    MicroStation V8) at http://selectservices.bentley.com/technotes/product53.htm.

    If all else fails, check out the Bentley discussion groups... see http://selectservices.bentley.com/discussion/index.htm for
    information on how to connect, etc.
