Microstation

CADD Standards, Cell Files, Resource Files, and Pen Tables

WVDOT uses MicroStation drafting software for its computer aided drafting and design work. The standard environment that comes with the software has been customized to provide easier access to Departmental and Regional tools such as:

2000 WVDOT CADD Standards
The current WVDOT CADD Standards have been  incoporated into a MicroStation macro that will place drawing data onto the proper level, with the established line weight, color, style, text sizes, and so on using the WVDOT Resource Files. 
The macro also has the ability to save using the file naming conventions, create drawings using WVDOT Seed Files, and make use of the WVDOT Cell Files, and Color Table.  Additionally, data files that contain detailed information regarding the standards, file naming conventions, and the West Virginia State Plane Coordinate System are included as well.
Note:  the current WVDOT CADD Standards have changed substantially (Working Units, Line Weights, etc.) since the previous update (December, 1998).  Please refer to the enclosed data files for further information.
