MicroStation Productivity Toolkit
Success
Stories

“MicroStation Productivity Toolkit
has rescued us many times. When repairing
corrupt MicroStation files, I don’t even
bother with EdG anymore. I use FileFixer
instead. It fixes our design files quickly
and automatically. RefManager has provided
level symbology consistency throughout hundreds
of our design files.
It saves us time and money. Having RefManager
do this is cheaper than having to pay an operator
to make these modifications in each file —
on average, each of our jobs run about 240
MicroStation files! I’d say this capability
alone pays for the Toolkit.
Plus, Microsoft Office Importer is
the best thing I’ve found for importing
text into MicroStation. It does the import
without much effort on my part. MicroStation
OLE (an Object Linking and Embedding technology)
frequently corrupts MicroStation files —
Microsoft Office Importer doesn’t.
This is one of my favorites utilities in Toolkit.”

“All in all, MicroStation Productivity
Toolkit is a good deal. I hate EdG. FileFixer
is a lot more convenient because it runs on
its own. Even though I run all my files through
EdG when I first get them, I always run FileFixer
on them afterwards because it fixes things
that EdG does not. With EdG, I have to do
individual operations for finding and repairing
errors. With FileFixer, it’s click,
click, bang and it’s all done. FileFixer
and SpellCheckerPlus alone are definitely
worth Toolkit’s money.”

“I find MicroStation Productivity
Toolkit very useful. Its tools get a lot
of use around here. I use FileFixer
the most. It always fixes our problem elements
quickly and easily. CellManager consolidates
our cell libraries, gets rid of duplicate
cells and overall organizes our cell libraries.
SpellCheckerPlus gets used a lot too.
I use it every time before sending a job out
to a client.
Before we got the Toolkit, this never
got done. DgnCompare is another useful
utility. Once I needed to compare a very old
drawing with a newer version of it, and all
I had to do to see the differences between
the two was to look at the design file report
that DgnCompare outputs. MicroStation
Productivity Toolkit has made MicroStation
a lot easier to use.”

“My experience with MicroStation
Productivity Toolkit has been very good.
This is our third version and we use it a
lot. We started first with FileFixer
and now we use it all the time. We used to
get about half a dozen major corruptions a
year before we got FileFixer. Since
we use it as a prevention method against file
corruption, we no longer get major crashes.
It’s just amazing. I was the guy who
had to do all the fixing with EdG before.
Even though this gave me a very comprehensive
knowledge of MicroStation file format, I’d
spend 3, 5 or even 8 hours at a time trying
to figure what was wrong with a file. With
FileFixer, I fix files in only minutes.
I’ve also used Global File Changer
and RefManager and have found these
utilities to be extreme timesavers. Our initial
investment in MicroStation Productivity
Toolkit has paid for itself many times
over. In a production environment, we have
big demands on our time. Toolkit absolutely
saves us time. It has made it much more profitable
for us to fix things in house than to send
them out”

“I’m
very happy that I have purchased MicroStation
Productivity Toolkit. I’ve just begun
to work with its different tools. Duplicate
Element Remover is a great application.
It removes up to 40% of useless vectors from
the MicroStation files that come from our manufacturing
department. This saves an incredible amount
of time when reconstructing cells in the processed
files. Also, I’ve used SpecChecker
to reorganize the symbology of elements in many
of our design files. This saves me 85% of the
work I would have had to do myself!”

“Alabama DOT owns MicroStation
Productivity Toolkit, and I just love FileFixer.
It comes in very handy. It fixes files automatically
90% of the time. We could ‘get by’
without it, but we’d have to apologize
a whole lot.”
Ronald McDonald,

“Toolkit
is very useful and definitely worth more than
the price! It’s great that Axiom keeps
adding utilities to it for free. We’re
getting more bang for the buck.”

“Since EdG is somewhat of
a pain, Axiom’s FileFixer is a better
solution. The users here really appreciate the
ease of FileFixer, but do yourself a
favor and buy the MicroStation Productivity
Toolkit. It is used by the city of San Diego.”
B. M., San
Diego, California |
“I
use Toolkit everyday and it’s invaluable.
A problem will come up and I’ll say, ‘I
bet we can solve that with Toolkit’
and we usually do. FileFixer, Global File
Changer, CellManager and RefManager in particular
save us tons of time. For example, we recently
had thousands of reference files that got messed
up and would have taken at least two weeks to
fix. RefManager fixed them in four hours.”
L.C., Georgetown,
Texas |
“The new products that are
constantly added to Toolkit are great.
Axiom really has some great ideas. We use FileFixer,
RefMerge and InstantDiskSpace all the time.”
T.M., Ottawa,
Canada |
“I
am very impressed with Toolkit. We once
had a big project that involved converting 130
documents from MicroStation to AutoCAD and we
were not getting a clean transformation. RefMerge
and RefWriter fixed the problem and gave
us the result we needed.”

“I like the tools in MicroStation
Productivity Toolkit, particularly FileFixer.
I use it a lot. FileFixer has saved me
many hours of work. With FileFixer, I
don't have to go into the archive or rebuild
an entire drawing from scratch. FileFixer
alone makes MicroStation Productivity Toolkit
worth it!"
R.S., Avila

“Adding
new utilities to Toolkit at no cost is
a terrific idea!”

"Toolkit
is an important part of the system we use within
our office. I
ran File Fixer a few weeks ago to recover
a damaged file for someone in my
office. This saved a month's rework. I personally
use Office Importer to import spreadsheets
often."

"Based on the experience, FileFixer,
Office Importer, and RefManager
are the most used products here at IDOT. We
plan for increased use of SpecChecker
and Problem Element Viewer for both
in-house and consultant compliance to IDOT

"Day & Zimmermann have a commitment
to be at the leading edge of the Process Consulting
Industry. We employ a full time Innovations
Manager and as part of this initiative we
decided to invest in the Axiom Productivity
Toolkit to establish whether it would
be of benefit to the company. During the evaluation,
tools were identified as possibly being of
use to the company. These were Cell Manager,
Spec Checker, Global File Changer, Instant
Disk Space and FileFixer. As a
result of the evaluation it was recommended
that the use of the tools be developed."

"At Washington Group we had been using
RefManager and FileFixer for
some time with success. In one case we moved
1000+ structural drawings from a Novell server
to a Windows NT server and were able to preserve
the reference file attachments. FileFixer
was also frequently used help us resolve
common problems such as zingers and double-elements.
We were then faced with creating merged drawings
for our clients and found that the merge included
with MicroStation has some issues including
associative dimensions in scaled reference
file attachments. We found that these problems
are resolved in RefMerge. We were sufficiently
impressed with Toolkit as a whole that
we purchased a corporate license and have
made it available to all our users.
We also appreciate the pro-active attitude
of the company in their sponsorship of web-based
technical updates and training sessions and
the like. We expect to be a customer for some
time to come."

"I wanted to thank all of you at Axiom
for your assistance over the last few months.
I've thrown a lot of questions and issues
at you and in every instance I got a quick
and accurate response. Toolkit has
been an incredible time saver. I was able
to correct the level symbology on over 600
MicroStation files in a matter of three or
four days with Global File Changer.
I repaired all of DuPont's cell libraries
with a combination of FileFixer and
CellManager in less than a week. Both
of these tasks would have taken considerably
longer, in the case of the seed files months,
without Toolkit."

"The only piece of software that I use

"We use MicroStation Productivity
Toolkit just about everyday, whether it
is RefWriter, Global File Changer or
RefManager. I use them all and found
the whole Toolkit is a major asset
for this company. It has aided in the productivity
of this company from something like changing
a cell in every file to changing symbology
in 100's of reference files. Basically,
MicroStation Productivity Toolkit has
been one of the best purchases we have purchased
to aid in our daily production of our plan
sets." K. Ellis, Louis Berger"
