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.”
Patricia Mantooth, Pape-Dawson Consulting Engineers — San Antonio, Texas

“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.”
Ben MacFarlane, San Diego Data Processing Corp — San Diego, California

“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.”
Joey Louallen Champion International Corp — Courtland, Alabama

“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”
Art Harvie, City of Surrey — Surrey, British Columbia, Canada

“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!”
Francis Le Hardy, Philips Commercial Activities — Bruxelles, Belgium
“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, Alabama DOT — Montgomery, Alabama
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.”
M.W., Phoenix, Arizona
“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.”
D.R., St. Louis, Missouri
“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 Beach, California
“Adding new utilities to Toolkit at no cost is a terrific idea!”
S.M., Cleveland, Ohio

"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."

"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."
Bob Jackson
Day & Zimmermann UK

"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."
Jack Jolly

"MicroStation Productivity Toolkit has all the time saving tools that I need to get my work done in half the time."
S.H., Engineer Draftsman
U.S. Marine Corps FM Branch

"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."
R.O.
EI DuPont DE Nemours & Company

"The only piece of software that I use more than Axiom's MicroStation Productivity Toolkit is MicroStation itself. This software has saved me thousands of hours of work."
Bill Stout
Atlantic International Consulting Engineers

"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"
