203 Colors<br />

203.1 General<br />

Standard colors are specified to ensure consistency and to enable users to easily identify plan elements<br />

in shared files.<br />

Each element in a MicroStation design file is assigned a color number. MicroStation reads a color table<br />

to determine the correct color to display for the specified number. Standard color numbers for plan<br />

graphics are specified in the <strong>CADD</strong> Information Table, Appendix A.<br />

The ODOT standard color table, ODOT_color.ctb, can be obtained from the ODOT <strong>CADD</strong> <strong>Standards</strong><br />

website. The MicroStation configuration variable MS_DEFCTBL is used to specify the ODOT color table.<br />

The color values may vary or appear different on screen due to the graphics cards, monitors display<br />

capability, etc.<br />

204 Line Styles<br />

204.1 General<br />

Line styles are used to differentiate curvilinear elements in the design file and on the plotted sheet. There<br />

are eight default line styles available in MicroStation using the values zero (0) through seven (7).<br />

Additionally, ODOT has developed a set <strong>of</strong> Custom Line Styles to be used for drawing various plan view<br />

graphic items requiring custom symbology. Custom Line Styles are created as Cosmetic or Physical line<br />

types. For detailed information see Section 204.2 Types <strong>of</strong> Line Styles.<br />

The ODOT standard line style resource file, ODOT_Linestyles.rsc, can be obtained from the ODOT<br />

<strong>CADD</strong> <strong>Standards</strong> website. The MicroStation configuration variable MS_SYMBRSC is used to specify the<br />

custom line style resource file.<br />

Users shall not create their own custom line styles for use on ODOT plan sheets.<br />

Standard line codes and custom line styles for plan graphics are specified in the <strong>CADD</strong> Information Table,<br />

Appendix A and displayed in Appendix D.<br />
