January 18, 2013 201.4 Configuration Variables and Files ODOT uses four (4) environment variables, ODOTSTD, V8iSTD, HOMEV8i, and V8iGSTD, to locate files necessary for the operation of MicroStation V8i in a typical ODOT setup. 1. The ODOTSTD variable is used to define the location of the root ODOT CADD standards folder. This variable is assigned a value in V8iODOTstandards.cfg. 2. The V8iSTD variable is used to define the location of the MicroStation V8i CADD standards. This variable is assigned a value in V8iODOTstandards.cfg. 3. The HOMEV8i variable is defined in the V8iODOTstandards.cfg file to specify the location of the MicroStation User Configuration Files (UCF) and User Preference Files (UPF). The HOMEV8i variable is defined as a Windows System Environment Variable and set to w:\V8iUser\ for a typical ODOT setup, where w:\ is connected to a share on a file server. 4. The V8iGSTD variable is used to define the location of site specific settings. The primary use of this variable is to identify the location of Bentley InterPlot (IPLOT) settings files. For a typical ODOT setup, this variable is defined in ODOTV8i.ucf file as follows: V8iGSTD: i:\V8igstd. The following ODOT standard configuration files for MicroStation V8i are typically used for plan development. A brief description of each file is included below. V8iODOTstandards.cfg This CFG file is used to set the location of the Project Configuration Files (PCF), User Configuration Files (UCF), and User Preference Files (UPF). See the document ODOT_Config.pdf for the file location. dfltuser.cfg This file tells MicroStation what UCF file to use on initial startup. ODOTV8i.pcf This PCF file is the Project Configuration File used to set the configuration variables for ODOT’s MicroStation V8i CADD standards stored in the ODOTstd\Projects folder. ODOTV8i.ucf This UCF file is the seed User Configuration File for MicroStation V8i. This file is used to define any user specific configuration variables for MicroStation V8i. This file should be copied to the location defined by the Variable HOMEV8i. ODOTV8iSeed.upf This UPF file is the default seed User Preference File that contains the settings defined in the MicroStation Preferences dialog. For further details on the setup and use of these configuration files, see MicroStation Configuration Files download page on the ODOT CADD Standards website. 4 ODOT CADD Engineering Standards
Alternate Configuration Files There are alternate configuration files available to ODOT users as described below: January 18, 2013 • ODOTV7.ucf & ODOTV7.pcf These configuration files are used to open design files in MicroStation/J (v7) format. This configuration is intended to be used for viewing, plotting, and making minor edits to old design files in v7 format. Access to GEOPAK has been disabled in this configuration. • ODOTV8_JUL07.ucf & ODOTV8_JUL07.pcf These configuration files are used when viewing or editing MicroStation V8 design files developed using the Bridge custom line styles with the ODOT CADD Standards that were in place on or before July 20, 2007. In order to use one of the alternate ODOT configurations, the .ucf file must be copied to the directory specified by the variable HOMEV8i. 202 Level Assignments 202.1 General To maintain uniformity among different drawing files, it is essential that an organized leveling system be used. MicroStation permits data to be organized in any fashion on an unlimited number of drawing levels. ODOT has developed a standard set of levels to be used with all design files submitted to or exchanged with the Department. ODOT’s standard levels are defined in a MicroStation DGN Library, ODOT_Levels.dgnlib, which can be obtained from the ODOT CADD Standards website. The DGN library is attached by use of the MicroStation configuration variable MS_DGNLIBLIST. Users shall not create their own levels for use in any design files submitted or exchanged with ODOT. See the CADD Information Table, Appendix A, for a complete list of the ODOT levels. ODOT CADD Engineering Standards 5

Alternate Configuration Files<br />
There are alternate configuration files available to ODOT users as described below:<br />
January 18, 2013<br />
• ODOTV7.ucf & ODOTV7.pcf<br />
These configuration files are used to open design files in MicroStation/J (v7) format. This<br />
configuration is intended to be used for viewing, plotting, and making minor edits to old design<br />
files in v7 format. Access to GEOPAK has been disabled in this configuration.<br />
• ODOTV8_JUL07.ucf & ODOTV8_JUL07.pcf<br />
These configuration files are used when viewing or editing MicroStation V8 design files developed<br />
using the Bridge custom line styles with the ODOT <strong>CADD</strong> <strong>Standards</strong> that were in place on or<br />
before July 20, 2007.<br />
In order to use one <strong>of</strong> the alternate ODOT configurations, the .ucf file must be copied to the directory<br />
specified by the variable HOMEV8i.<br />
