I prefer MicroStation for a number of reasons. Based on my unscientific

might be a consideration.

As for the A-Cad users reading this, I forgive you

Sorry I'm so late jumping in on this thread.

Autocad USED to be the system that EVERBODY used.

They fell way behind the curve when Solidworks was introduced. If you can
afford it, look into 3d modeling packages like solidworks. You should be
able to get it with your school discount too.


I am not a student anymore and am quite happy with my MicroStation
running on my old 486 computer.

I gave up on A-Cad 10 years ago. One of the things I didn't like was
file size. The local printer only accepted A-Cad drawings for their big
plotters. When I went to get something printed it had to be in that
format. A MicroStation file on the order of 1meg would be 1.6meg or so
when converted. I also found I used about 2/3 as many operations in
MicroStation to accomplish the same thing in A-Cad. The list goes on,
but you get the idea.
