The right click mouse was great. I've resisted using the direct entry because to the need to take my hand off the mouse.

Do you have a video on your changing autocad to look like microstation? I have a company of 50 employees currently making the switch from microstation to civil3d, some of them have been working in MS for 30 years. I have been trying to get everyone trained up but I am a novice myself. This may be more helpful for the older employees. Thanks
