    I'm lost!

    Don't laugh at me! I started out using Microstation when it FIRST came out, back in the 80's. Then the company I was working for started using AutoCAD, which I detest. Now, I've got a chance to move to another company which uses Microstation exclusively. I've trying to convert my...

    AutoCAD batch plotting

    This question is going to require someone who is familiar not only with AutoCAD but also Microstation. I haven't used Microstation in several years (different A/E firm) but at the beginning of a project all the "working" drawings were set up (those drawings that are to be plotted) and saved...
