Same here on the manual side bro :). I actually started with microstation back in like 92 then went to acad in like 94 and been using it ever since :)
Holy crap! Me too! Microstation was an Intergraph product later bought by Bently. Used it for about 7-8 years. Used it with a digitizing tablet instead of a mouse for the first few. Back then it was a contender with AutoCad, then AutoCad took over so much of the market I had to switch. The conversion from dgn to dwg was too glitchy.
I still think Microstation was slightly better.

OK, VH, if you're all done giving the cloners a headstart . . . .. . time for your final inspection and invoicing pics.

(I'm getting VH in the mail before completing the others, so that it gets to Pinoy Country in time. Probably no other pics til tomorrow.)

Yes, me too. I worked for a large utility at the time and their money was no object. My unix workstation was an intergraph clipper dual monitor deal and the digitizer was like a built in desk and was power adjustable for height and tilt. :)

Yes, back in those days acad was basically free so they got saturation microstation struggled to get. I used to hate acad when I first started using it.

I preferred digitizing to mousing, tentative points over osnaps and really liked deleting rather than erasing.

Since then I've come to love acad, use release 15, have customized lsps and pretty much do everything with one to two keystroke commands modified pgp style :)

Jokes aside, I think you're the very first one to wish me luck.

My sincerest thanks! I do hope it makes it this time. :toast:

Awwww Sweetie.....I never wished you luck cause I just know this one will arrive to you.
If by any chance my joking hurt your feelings, I offer you my most sincerest apology!!!

I started with a steel fab company in 78 and money was a big object. Pushed a pencil until the mid 80's then made the CAD switch. Still had a top of the line set up for the time. Had a 386 PC with a 50 meg HD. That was big for the time. Digitizer wasn't as fancy as yours. I believe it was a 11 x 17 that just sat on the desk next to the keyboard.
I agree that Intergragh was too smart for their own good. They had their software locked down from the start. Had to have a dongle plugged into the printer port or it wouldn't work, while AutoCad was free for the copying. When AutoDesk finally locked theirs down they already had millions of users.
And yes tentative snaps are one of the things I miss the most.
