CLEARWATER, FLORIDA, USA
— MicroStation Productivity Toolkit owners are
often so enthralled with two or three products that come in
Toolkit, that they fail to take advantage of the other
included tools. Axiom wants Toolkit users around the
world to save time and effort by utilizing every possible
application in Toolkit, and to use them for the entirety
of each project.
If you don't relish working late and like to have your weekends
free, keep reading.

From concept to delivery, Axiom tools can help your
entire design team save time and money, while working
in MicroStation.

Prepare for a successful project launch
CAD managers often "inherit" files from prior projects.
What shape are those files in? Crappy? Happy?
The best way to get off to a healthy, problem-free project
start is to analyze project files with FileFixer. Just
search for problems and let FileFixer identify the
files which will likely cause trouble later. Use FileFixer
to automatically repair the damaged design files and cell
libraries. Off to a good start!
Some cell libraries have been around for a long time and
have accumulated redundant or obsolete, non-standard cells.
Sometimes hundreds of cells are distributed amongst several
different cell libraries. Where's the right cell?
Don't perpetuate use of messy, disorganized, non-standard
cell libraries. Use CellManager to consolidate, standardize
and organize your cell libraries at the onset of your project.
"CellManager consolidates
our cell libraries, gets rid of duplicate cells and overall
organizes our cell libraries." J. Louallen, Champion
International Corp.
Have you ever inherited reference file attachments with full
paths saved? Those attachments become "missing"
when moved to a new drive letter or a new directory. Fortunately,
RefManager can remove full paths from all project attachments
or, when full paths are preferred, RefManager can update
the full paths in all project files. Click RefManager's
<Start> button and go home early!
But wait a minute - level usage was remapped for that new
project? And level symbology specifications have changed too?
Aargh!
Global File Changer is perfect for making bulk adjustments
to legacy project files to ensure the entire file set is configured
standardly for a new project. Use Changer to move elements
from one level to another or change level symbology in all
project files - actually, use Global File Changer to
make just about any imaginable bulk change in all project
files at once.
Use Global File Changer to replace all non-standard
cells with correct, standard cells from that fresh, perfect
cell library just created with CellManager!
"Our initial investment in MicroStation
Productivity Toolkit has paid for itself many times over."
A. Harvie, City of Surrey
Keep an ongoing project on schedule
and under budget
Using Microsoft Office Importer is the superior way
to import spreadsheet and formatted text into MicroStation
drawings. Use it to save time while improving the appearance,
standardness and ease of maintenance of project drawings.
"Microsoft Office Importer
is the best thing I've found for importing text into MicroStation.
… This is one of my favorites utilities in Toolkit,"
stated P. Mantooth, Pape-Dawson Consulting.
FileFixer is indispensable for emergency file diagnosis
and repair during the course of a project. When someone says
it took five hours to repair a file with EdG, they probably
mean it took four hours to find the problem and another hour
to figure out the EdG command necessary to fix the problem.
Or maybe they couldn't fix the problem? Relax. Let FileFixer
automatically handle mid-project emergency repairs.
Prepare a completed project for client
submission
Congratulations — the project is done! But were all files
created standardly? Is every file ready for presentation to
the client? Use SpecChecker to ensure your drawings
conform to project standards. Eliminate tedious manual proofreading!
Move client acceptance toward 100%.
In addition to its use as a quality assurance tool, many
SpecChecker owners use its correction capability to
perform bulk modifications to project files. SpecChecker
is handy at any stage of a project.
"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!" rejoiced F. Le Hardy of Philips Commercial Activities.
