September 2023 V10 Workspace Changes

Cell Libraries
Properties of borders in sheets.cel were changed to color, Yellow, and level, #plot_shape. This for using
Print Organizer (and Print) with Design_8.5x11 or Design_11x17 print styles with the SignShopGS_BW.tbl
and SignShopGS_color.tbl pen tables. This cell library is not part of the V10 WorkSpace but is used by
GuideSIGN to create sheets for the Sign Shop. GuideSIGN users will find additional documentation in
https://www.oregon.gov/odot/EAST/Documents/GuideSIGNUserDocumentation.pdf.

DGN Libraries
ODOTRibbon.dgnlib was modified to add a green UpArrow button to the Quick Access Toolbar for
Update Server Copy to MicroStation, OpenSite Designer and OpenRoads Designer.

ODOT_ Features_Annotations_Levels_Elem Temp.dgnlib was modified as follows:

1. Because visual gaps in an alignment profile line can prevent designers from identifying actual points
of intersection, changes were made to all Profile element templates that used a dashed line or
custom line style to LC=0. This included Profile element templates for all linear feature definitions,
regardless of discipline, except Hy.
2. Also modified the ByLevel symbology for D_TERR_Subgrade level’s line style from 0 to pro
subgrade_V8. This allows the RDWY-Subgrade feature definition to be used for projecting CL-SG
from a corridor into the profile for the alignment, as an option to display a subgrade line in profile
with a line style that is suitable for a plan set.
3. Added two new element templates for Handrail Linear (ByLevel, ByLevel, ByLevel) and Profile:
Rdwy_Handrail_P (ByLevel, 0, ByLevel). Added two new feature symbologies for Handrail Linear and
Profile. Added new Linear feature definition for Rdwy_Handrail_P.
4. Added 4 new linear element templates, feature definitions and feature symbologies for LT and Rt
proposed feature definitions that use a custom line style for Barrier (barrier shldr_LT_V8, barrier
shldr_RT_V8) and Guardrail (gr const_LT_V8, gr const_RT_V8).

In ODOT Labeler Text Favorites Text Styles Dimension Styles Elem Temp.dgnlib, modified ODOT Notes
– Masked to change the horizontal offset of Background from 0.25 to 0.15.
Line Styles
Created LT_RT_Styles.rsc file to add Lt and Rt line styles for use with templates and modeling. Added 4
new line styles: gr const_LT_V8, gr const_RT_V8, barrier shldr_LT_V8, and barrier shldr_RT_V8. _LT will
be used on the left side (facing ahead on line) and _RT will be used on the right side. This will put the
baseline for the line style at the face of barrier or rail and posts (for GR) will be on the side away from
traffic.

Reports
The following civil report style sheets were modified to eliminate problems during loading after a
change to the cascading style sheet theme: ODOTTerr_ConfPnt_Report_HTML.xsl,
ODOTTerr_GradeVerification_Report_HTML.xsl, ODOTTerrainCheck.xsl, and
ODOTTerr_GradeVerification_Out_Txt.xsl. The two grade verification reports were updated to change
tolerances for Grade Point Verification to ten thousandth precision for Types A. B. and C: A (0.020 ->
0.0208), B (0.040 -> 0.0417) and C (0.060 -> 0.0625).

Standards CFG
Added two variables to improve printing performance when using Print Organizer:
MS_PLT_MAX_WORKER_TASKS = 2000 and CIVIL_ENABLE_QUICK_PRINTSERVER = 1.

Template Library
Added four points to the Point Name List in ODOT_ORD_seed.itl: BarBF_LT, BarBF_RT, GrF_LT, and
GrF_RT. Edited 2LaneBar template replaced BarF points with new LT/RT points. Edited 2LaneGR
template replaced GrF points with new LT/RT points. Edited Barrier Pad component to replace BarF
point with BarF_LT. Edited Guardrail component to replace GrF point with GrF_LT. Edited the XML and
manually changed the featureDefinitionFlag value from false to true to set options correctly.

Preference Seeds
Edited the OpenRoads Designer and OpenSite Designer ODOT default preferences to change the location
of the open and docked Feature Definition Toggle Bar to the furthest right position at the bottom. This
should prevent the toggle bar from growing in width while the file is opening. Also turned on the
Element Class box in the Primary Attributes group. Default preferences for MicroStation were not
changed.
August 2023 V10 Workspace Changes
Cell Libraries
Added cells L 1 Weld length-pitch A, L 1 Weld length-pitch O, R 1 Weld length-pitch A, and R 1 Weld
length-pitch O to Welding.cel.

DGN Libraries
Modified ODOT_Text Favorites_Text Styles_Dimension Styles.dgnlib to edit three text favorites new
curve data standards: Curve SCS Label RT, Curve SCS Label LT, and Spiral Label. Also created a new text
favorite, Major Stations – SURV, to display the +00 on 500’ major station labels for “Surv_” alignments.
In ODOTRibbon.dgnlib, added four buttons on the Welding Symbols workflow: two to the Leader Arrow
on left Side group, Weld Length pitch A (left) and Weld Length pitch O (left). Two in the Leader Arrow on
Right Side group, Weld Length pitch A (right) and Weld Length pitch O (right).
Modified ODOT_ Features_Annotations_Levels_Elem Temp.dgnlib to edit 13 Annotation Definitions for
“CL_” Groups. The “CL_” element annotations display the curve data that is used on contract plans. New
standards for curve data was accepted by the CAD Standards Committee in August. Prior to this, CAD
Technicians had to make at least 6 edits to the curve data displayed from the design software. With the
adoption of the new standard, only one edit needs to be made: entering the maximum superelevation
value for the curve.
Unequal Spiral-Curve-Spiral curve sets, equal SCS curve sets, and curve sets with a spiral only on one
side, will all be annotated in the same fashion, with the spiral data annotated only at the spiral
location. The SCS curve data information includes: name, degree of central arc, total curve set delta
angle, back tangent length, ahead tangent length, and maximum superelevation (e). Spirals are
annotated with: name, spiral length, and spiral angle.
Edits include entering maximum superelevation (e), as well as rotate/move for preferred orientation
and location on the sheet.
Equal Spirals:
Unequal Spirals:

Simple curve data includes: name, degree of curve, curve delta angle, tangent length (symmetrical
so only one shown), and maximum superelevation (e).
Edits include entering maximum superelevation (e), as well as rotate/move for preferred orientation
and location in the sheet.
Simple Curve:

Also, in ODOT_ Features_Annotations_Levels_Elem Temp.dgnlib, changed the line style symbology in

Profile element templates using multi-line or dashed line styles to a solid line style (0). Eighteen (18)
element templates were adjusted, including Profile>Roadway>Rdwy_Barrier_Med_P and
Profile>Geotech>Gt_Wall_Ret_P.
And also, edited the Annotation Definitions for 5 "Surv_" Groups: set the Stations Labels Major text
favorite to Major Stations – SURV, which will display 500’ major stationing in the 0+00 format.
References
In Cache_tse.dgn, the standard drawing list was updated and now has 4 columns.

Seed
A new file with the updated standard drawing list was placed in the Seed folder for use as a template:
2023-12_Standard_Drawing_List_CONNECT.xlsx. The older file for 2022-06 was removed.

Templates
Templates.xml that contains OpenBridge Modeler library templates for Decks, Barrier and Beams was
updated to include an ORDOT folder category in each library for Oregon Department of Transportation
usage.
July 2023 V10 Workspace Changes
Cell Libraries
In ADA_Detail.cel - Added two new cells, CurbRamp_Legend and CurbRamp_Notes.
In ODOT Dynamic XS Labels.cel – Changed XS Plus Sign from Graphic type cell to Point type cell so that
when the group annotation is placed in permanent cross sections - the cells are placed on the level
coming from the element template.

DGN Libraries
Modified ODOT_ Features_Annotations_Levels_Elem Temp.dgnlib: added a new annotation definition
named Curb Ramp POB/POE Label & Leader which uses Curb Cardinal Label LT text favorite and uses a
Leader to draw cardinal line.
Changed element template name from Curb Ramp Cardinal Lines to Curb Ramp Radial Lines (cardinal
station flags are drawn using a leader).
Annotation Group/Definitions edits to arrive at Curb_Ramp_CrvRt and Curb_Ramp_CrvLt (assigned to
Curb_Ramp feature symbology) to provide all stacked text left justified and POB/POE flags to the right
on CrvLt and to the left for CrvRt using Annotation Group Overrides.
Feature Definition Name Seed set to be CR01 - so designers need to only edit the number.
Added Annotation Groups for XS Existing Roadway, XS Existing Traffic, XS Existing Hydrology and XS
Existing GeoTech for annotation of referenced crossing features in permanent cross sections with a plus
sign using Annotate Drawing Model Annotation Group Overrides.
Modified ODOT_Text Favorites_Text Styles_Dimension Styles.dgnlib to edit Curb Cardinal Label LT and
Curb Cardinal Label RT - to remove the characters CR. The CR characters will be entered with the name
of the feature definition when Curb_Ramp is used.
Edited ODOT Labeler Text Favorites Text Styles Dimension Styles Elem Temp.dgnlib for the Civil
Labeler: created a new ODOT Notes - Lt Ctr text style and assigned the “List” text favorite in the _Plan-
ADA group to use ODOT Notes – Lt Ctr; this will provide better alignment in a table.
In the companion ODOT Civil Labeler.xml file, edited two Civil Labels: List-Pt_Align_Sta_Off_PtElev and
Stack-Align_Sta_Off_PtElev, in the group named _Plan-ADA to set the prompts to be: Select Reference
Alignment and Select Design Point to Label, and changed the target for the “List” label so that it
performs with fewer mouse clicks.
