ODOTDrawing Boundary Seeds
ODOTDrawing Boundary Seeds
Drawing boundary seeds are provided in the ODOT_CONNECT WorkSpace for both civil and non-civil boundaries when
using the Place Named Boundary command. Civil drawing boundaries have separate methods for placing boundaries
associated to alignment stationing in plan, profile, or 3D (cross section) views. The non-civil drawing boundaries
(boundaries that are not associated with alignment stationing) are placed using the “From Drawing Boundary” method
in the Place Named Boundary command. The tables below describe the usage of the non-civil and civil drawing
boundary seeds. Level display in sheets created from most civil drawing boundaries, is controlled in the design-type
model that contains the named boundaries. “Long” civil drawing boundaries place the level control in the sheet-type
models.
