The following details the recommendations for Scaling Custom Line Styles when drafting and designing
ODOT plans using the features available in MicroStation V8i. The final decision regarding plan drafting
and design is at the discretion of the designer.
Recommendations for Scaling Custom Line Styles on ODOT plans:
When attaching the basemaps as References into the “Sheet” model, set the Model Properties Line Style
Scale for the appropriate sheet scale. Changing the Model Properties Line Style Scale value will cause
the display of the line styles to change according to the value selected. This will affect line styles drawn
in the active file, as well as referenced graphics, depending on the settings when the references were
attached.
Basemap:
Manual Placement (Existing and Proposed):
Place all Line Styles in the basemap design file at a scale of one (1.0).
