January 18, 2013 207.4 Text Styles A MicroStation Text Style is a saved set of text parameters such as font type, text width, text height, color, etc. Text styles enable you to place text in a consistent and automated manner. ODOT’s standard text styles are defined in a MicroStation DGN Library, ODOT_Styles.dgnlib, which can be obtained from the ODOT CADD Standards website. This file is attached for use by the MicroStation configuration variable MS_DGNLIB. The following Text Styles have been configured for use on ODOT plans: Style Name *Text Size *Line Spacing Font Font 70-Main Title 0.25 0.50 70 Font 70-Title 0.20 0.50 70 Font 70-Sub Title 0.17 0.50 70 Masked Slanted-Normal LS=0.50 0.14 0.50 31 Masked Straight-Normal LS=0.50 0.14 0.50 30 Slanted-Normal FX Spacing 0.14 0.50 31 Slanted-Normal LS=0.50 0.14 0.50 31 Slanted-Normal LS=0.75 0.14 0.75 31 Slanted-Normal LS=1.00 0.14 1.00 31 Slanted-Sub Title 0.17 0.50 31 Slanted-Title 0.20 0.50 31 Straight-Normal FX Spacing 0.14 0.50 30 Straight-Normal LS=0.50 0.14 0.50 30 Straight-Normal LS=0.75 0.14 0.75 30 Straight-Normal LS=1.00 0.14 1.00 30 Straight-Sub Title 0.17 0.50 30 Straight-Title 0.20 0.50 30 *Text size and Line Spacing units are “inches”. All text placed on Bridge sheets, excluding text contained in standard border cells, shall use the “Slanted” text styles. The active text style can be selected in MicroStation prior to placing text. Select the Place Text command to access the following dialog box shown at right. 44 ODOT CADD Engineering Standards
January 18, 2013 Selecting a Text Style will set the text size appropriate for a 1:1 plot. To place text for other plotting scales, users can automatically set the text size by setting the MicroStation Model Annotation Scale before placing the text. From the MicroStation pull-down menu, select File > Models or select the Models icon on the Primary Tools box, then select Edit Model Properties from the Models dialog box to access the dialog shown below. The list of available annotation scales is defined in the ODOT Standard file ODOT_scales.def which can be obtained from the ODOT CADD Standards Website. The MicroStation configuration variable MS_CUSTOMSCALEDEF is used to assign the scale definition file. ODOT CADD Engineering Standards 45
