Microsoft Office Importer — Import spreadsheet and word processing data into MicroStation with perfect formatting!

Tired of spending hours futzing around with imported spreadsheets and Word documents trying to get them to look okay? Ever been unfairly blamed for having out-of-date spreadsheet data in a design file? Or are your imports just pictures and not actual MicroStation elements, causing you to have to re-paste them frequently? Wish data in design files from Excel and Word files updated automatically so you could paste once and never have to bother with it again?

If you answered "yes" to any of the above questions, you might decide to consider what MicroStation Acceleration Garage can do for you. Using Garage, you can get credit from your fellow designers for pulling off feats like:

• Pasting huge amounts of spreadsheet and word processing data into MicroStation files as actual, modifiable MicroStation elements and with perfect formatting.
• Linking each import to its source document so that when anything changes, the data is automatically updated inside your design files.
• Creating native, editable MicroStation text and line elements matching the format of the data on the Windows clipboard, not space-consuming, inflexible raster data.
• And much more.

Works with V7, V8, V8i and ProjectWise. For more information or a free trial, click here or call 727-442-7774 extension 8194 in the U.S. or e-mail us.

LearningBay — Train on MicroStation at your own pace without ever leaving your desk!

Why is it that most CAD training doesn't work out well? Often it's either too expensive or takes your guys off valuable billable time to do it. Yet without effective training, one has less job security, re-work has to be done and projects go slower. Lack of professional training has negative consequences both for the organization and you personally, whether you're an Engineer, CAD drafter, CAD manager or project manager. Let's face it, the more knowledge you have, the more people love you — particularly your manager or supervisor.

• Need effective MicroStation, GEOPAK and InRoads training at a very low cost?
• Want MicroStation, GEOPAK and InRoads users to train at their own pace and with maximum retention?
• Would you like to have expert MicroStation, GEOPAK and InRoads "how-to" instructions at your fingertips?
• Want a fast way to have users re-trained on a specific area of MicroStation, GEOPAK or InRoads?
• Need a customized training solution (including using your own CAD standards and project files) at generic training prices?

MicroStation Acceleration Garage includes MicroStation, GEOPAK and InRoads training via Axiom's LearningBay on-line training system.

LearningBay was designed for ease of use and speed of implementation. Courses are presented via a Web browser, allowing students to connect to LearningBay on their own schedule and train at their own pace, thus reducing production time wasted on traveling for training. Train employees over the Internet using our server or install the software on your own server.

Courses available for MicroStation V7, V8/XM, V8i, GEOPAK and InRoads. For more information about MicroStation training solutions (including on-line and in-house, customized training) or a free, online demonstration, click here or call 727-442-7774 extension 8156 in the U.S. or e-mail us.

RefManager — Reference file problems suck!

Ever had screwed up reference file attachments paths? Ever opened a design file and found many or all the references missing? Want a faster, easier way to attach a reference file to hundreds of master design files? Now you can solve any MicroStation reference file problem fast!

With MicroStation Acceleration Garage, you can:

• Modify reference file paths in batch.
• Clone (copy the settings from one or more of your existing reference file attachments) and replace (use those settings to attach new or revised reference files) one or many reference files in multiple project files in a single processing run.
• Attach a reference file to hundreds of design files with a single command.
• Adjust reference file level symbology on hundreds of design files with a single command.
• Work with files in ProjectWise.
• And much more.

The more reference files you have, the more difficult and time-consuming they are to manage. Making changes to multiple reference files manually (one reference file at a time) is tedious, counter-productive and expensive. Plus it just sucks.

Global File Changer — Want to look like a MicroStation genius and not only increase your job security but get yourself that fat raise you've always wanted?

Being able to make unlimited changes to multiple design files quickly, easily and automatically would probably do the trick.

Have you ever spent hours making repetitive changes to some text throughout hundreds of design files? Ever been blamed because it wasn't done on time?

Whether it's making a date change on every sheet in a project or replacing the prefix on every part identification number displayed in thousands of cells throughout a large set of design files, such actions are time-consuming, tedious, error-prone and can make you look slow or worse.

With MicroStation Acceleration Garage, you can:

• Update any or all design file settings in hundreds of files in batch.
• Globally modify text attributes on text, tag or dimension elements.
• Change text justification in some or all the text in some or all your design files in one processing run.
• Rescale cells or text by a specific factor in height or width. (Great for handling pesky font changes that altered the display and plot width of your text elements.)
• Do any number of text, search and replace combinations, on any number of files using wildcards or regular expressions.
• Work with files in ProjectWise.
• And much more.

This is much more than a simple batch processor like the one supplied in MicroStation. Although it can run any MicroStation script containing key-in commands, Garage has a powerful and constantly growing set of custom features which allow you to do many tasks that just would not be possible with a simple script file. In addition Garage has a powerful, built-in Element Selection Utility which gives its users the capability to easily isolate very precise selection sets, assign them names and then utilize those named selection sets easily to make sophisticated changes throughout any set of design files to the exact elements you want to change.

Title Block Manager — Title block changes — fast and automatic
(Don't read this if you like doing the same thing over and over and over.)

Your project is due tomorrow when someone says you gotta add a sheet near the beginning of a set of 237 design files. In less time than it takes for you to figure out who you hate the most, you could handle the whole thing. You could change all the sheet numbers in all the title blocks in every design file so fast that your peers will begin to think of you as some sort of powerful MicroStation magician.

MicroStation Acceleration Garage:

• Allows for bi-directional synchronization of title block information between title blocks and Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. (Change title block information in the spreadsheet and the design file is automatically updated.)
• Automatically updates and populates information in multiple title blocks.
• Reports on all title block information (such as file path, file name, name of title block cell and any other user-defined information) in MicroStation files.
• Supports the placing and managing of multiple title blocks in one design file.
• Supports ProjectWise.
• And much more.

Garage automates batch changes to title blocks placed in design files, helps maintain consistency of title block information and provides full reporting capabilities.

FileFixer — Design files not working properly?

Have you ever missed a deadline or had to work overtime due to some #$%! design file malady? Have you ever sacrificed a night out or a weekend? Ever worried if you'd have to redo a bunch of MicroStation work all over again? Ever had to endure an upset boss or customer? Have you ever wondered if problematic design files make you sometimes look bad in the eyes of your bosses or peers, even though they are too nice to say anything?

The following are examples of things that are not random accidents nor just "bad luck":

• Design files that won't open.
• Elements or models that behave oddly or don't look right, no matter how hard you try.
• Elements that don't plot the same as they appear on your computer screen.
• Plotting problems or anomalies.
• Fit view problems.
• Trouble accessing certain models.
• Problems after migrating certain design files from V7 to V8 or V8i.
• Other MicroStation frustrations.

If you have ever experienced any of the above, it's likely that you have experienced design file corruption. MicroStation Acceleration Garage can fix corrupt MicroStation files totally automatically! With Garage, repairing a MicroStation file usually requires nothing more than typing in (or double-clicking on) the name of the damaged file.

Works with V7, V8, V8i and ProjectWise. For more information or a free trial, click here or call 727-442-7774 extension 8324 in the U.S. or e-mail us.
