GEOPAK Placement (Existing and Proposed):
The GEOPAK Design and Computation Manager dialog box can be used to place cells in the
basemap using the default Design mode.
The Design mode is used to plot COGO elements into MicroStation with the desired symbology by
use of the Draw Plan and Profile dialog box. It can also be used to set drafting standards to be used
in conjunction with MicroStation’s element placement commands, with the Place Influence option
toggled on as shown below.
When using the Design mode, the following procedure should be used to place Cells in the base
map:
Before you begin placing MicroStation elements in
Design Mode, it is good practice to check the Design
Settings to ensure that the Cell Creation’s Plot Scale
value is set properly.
From the Design and Computation Manager dialog
box, select Settings > Design to access the Design
Settings dialog box shown at right.
