January 18, 2013 303.2.2 Model Names When creating a new design file using ODOT’s seed files, ODOTSeed2d.dgn or ODOTSeed3d.dgn, a Design and Sheet model is already created for you as follows: ODOT has a recommended standard for naming models when developing a set of plans. ODOT Applications utilize the Model name “Sheet” except for cross sections. The GEOPAK Cross Section attachment options do not provide the capability to generate each cross section sheet in a separate design file, see the ODOT GEOPAK V8i Road 2, Chapter 10, Training Guide for details. The model name “*Sheet*” as provided by ODOT’s seed files is utilized by ODOT’s plotting software. Therefore, it is strongly recommended not to change the model names in the design files since the programs and or software are dependent on the model names. Any name changes to the models could prevent the application(s) from working properly. For detailed information on how models are set up for Plan and Profile sheets and Cross Section Sheets see the ODOT GEOPAK V8i Road 1 and 2 Training Guides. 66 ODOT CADD Engineering Standards

303.2.3 Model Properties January 18, 2013 You can select or edit Properties of a model in the open design file. The model properties are different depending on what type of model is selected, Design, or Sheet as shown below. “Design” Model Properties • Type - sets the model's type (Design or Sheet) and dimensionality (2D or 3D). • Name – is a text field to enter a name for the model. See section 303.2.2 Model Names. • Description – is a text field to enter a description of the model. • Ref Logical - sets the Reference Logical name for the model. The logical name identifies the model when it is attached to another model as a reference. • Annotation Scale - sets the scale for text, dimensions and cells in the model. You can select from the list of common scales used for ODOT plan sheets. When placing text, dimensions and cells the Annotation Lock in the tool settings window must be on to ensure that they are placed at the defined scale. The list of common scales is located from the ODOT_Scales.def file located in the i:/ODOTstd/V8istd/data directory. • Line Style Scale - Lets you set the scale for custom line styles. “Sheet” Model Properties • Update Fields Automatically - If set on, fields are automatically updated when a file is opened.

303.2.3 Model Properties<br />

January 18, 2013<br />

You can select or edit Properties <strong>of</strong> a model in the open design file. The model properties are different<br />

depending on what type <strong>of</strong> model is selected, Design, or Sheet as shown below.<br />

“Design” Model Properties<br />

• Type - sets the model's type (Design or Sheet) and dimensionality (2D or 3D).<br />

• Name – is a text field to enter a name for the model. See section 303.2.2 Model Names.<br />

• Description – is a text field to enter a description <strong>of</strong> the model.<br />

• Ref Logical - sets the Reference Logical name for the model. The logical name identifies the<br />

model when it is attached to another model as a reference.<br />

• Annotation Scale - sets the scale for text, dimensions and cells in the model. You can<br />

select from the list <strong>of</strong> common scales used for ODOT plan sheets. When placing text,<br />

dimensions and cells the Annotation Lock in the tool settings window must be on to ensure that<br />

they are placed at the defined scale. The list <strong>of</strong> common scales is located from the<br />

ODOT_Scales.def file located in the i:/ODOTstd/V8istd/data directory.<br />

• Line Style Scale - Lets you set the scale for custom line styles.<br />

“Sheet” Model Properties<br />

• Update Fields Automatically - If set on, fields are automatically updated when a file is opened.<br />
