Final plan sheets shall be in the Sheet Model. No items other than what is shown on the final plotted<br />
sheet are allowed to be shown in the Sheet Model. Any detail shown in the final plotted sheet shall be<br />
represented at a 1:1 scale in either the Design model or Sheet model <strong>of</strong> the corresponding file.<br />
The purpose <strong>of</strong> having the existing details drafted or referenced at a 1:1 scale is to facilitate the electronic<br />
transmission <strong>of</strong> design data (via email or equivalent) without providing the entire project directory. If<br />
necessary, the designer can merge the referenced details within the design file.<br />
Each plan sheet shall be contained within the Sheet Model. Therefore, each plan sheet will be separated<br />
into individual design files when submitted to the <strong>Department</strong>.<br />
When sheet design files are submitted to the <strong>Department</strong>, no other graphics are permitted in the Sheet<br />
model other than the graphics representing the final plotted sheet. All extra graphics used to generate<br />
the sheet, or old versions <strong>of</strong> the sheet, should be deleted or moved to a design model. No extra<br />
reference attachments that are not a part <strong>of</strong> the final sheet are permitted to be attached to the sheet<br />
model.<br />
In order to ensure that reference file attachments are maintained when moving project files from the<br />
original project directory to another location, such as a CD for submission or to an archive directory,<br />
references shall be attached using relative paths. The user shall not use MicroStation or GEOPAK<br />
options to “Save Full Path” for reference attachments.<br />
All completed sheet design files submitted to or exchanged with ODOT shall use references where<br />
applicable. It is not recommended that users copy referenced graphics into the sheet files for the<br />
completed sheet design files submitted to ODOT.<br />
