Vermont
Agency of Transportation CADD Status
January 2011, The Vermont Agency of Transportation officially
implemented MicroStation
V8i and standardization of
V8i
resource files. These V8i
resource files are available
at
(Vermont
Agency of Transportation
V8
CADD Project Configuration & Resource Files)
All Drawing file submitted
to the VAOT must be V8i compatible. We will be using
MicroStation V8i to open and use all drawings submitted
during the design process and post design process. Additional
all drawing submitted to the Agency of Transportation must
use only Agency provided MicroStation Workspace resources.
The above statements are relative to contracted Agency design
projects.
VAOT
provides both Metric and English MicroStation DGN seed files.
Vermont uses (1
ft = 0.3048006 m), not the International Foot (1 ft = 0.3048
m).
CADD
files must be created and populated with data in accordance
with the standards stated in the “CADD
Standards and Procedure manual” documentation, in order to
create consistent plan appearance, improve reproduction
quality, and allow for efficient manipulation of drawings and
data. CADD files shall conform to all aspects of this
document. This includes files created by Survey,
Roadway Design, and all Project Design groups; files used to
produce Standard Sheets and Bridge Data sheets; and files
created by all other Agency or Consultant Suppliers of CADD
information. The Agency has created and maintains an
extensive library of CADD resource files including Level
Library files. Consistent use of these files is
essential if CADD is to be used effectively and efficiently.
Implementation
of named levels along with corresponding level description in
the design file will provide for intelligent data.
Experienced and new designers have the ability to draw on
levels that define the feature or elements that are
generated. Elements being placed with ByLevel
attributes will automatically have the standard color, line
style, and line weight. Using a combination of level
naming and ByLevel symbology we have a standard settings
management system.
