Introduction
This manual shall be used as the standard for all computer-aided drafting plans
development produced by and for the Survey & Design Division of the Tennessee
Department of Transportation.
Survey submissions shall be in accordance with this manual and/or modifications

contained in the consultant’s contract or as prescribed by the Regional Survey Supervisor.
Standard Parameters
In order to establish standard parameters by which drawings are to be created, the
following parameters have been established:
1. Accuracy Control through working units providing state wide coverage of the state
coordinate system on a design plane. This provides direct correlation of design data
point input to the coordinate plane reference point.
2. Standard level, color, and weight assignments of design elements assigned according
to the type of sheet being generated.
3. Cell development of over 900 cells relating to design elements, signing, sheet
generation, etc. The standard cell libraries are STDS.CEL & SIGN.CEL for
English-unit projects and METRIC.CEL & MSIGN.CEL for metric projects.
4. Standard color table STDCOLOR.TBL for standardized display of color coded

design elements.
Standard File Extensions

Data Exchange between Survey & Design Personnel
At different points in a project's life prior to submittal for construction certain files will be
created, used and appended to by both Survey & Design personnel.
These files include:
Geopak GPK coordinate/geometric database
Microstation DGN topography graphics
Geopak TIN digital terrain model
With this in mind the following procedures shall be followed.
GPK Naming Conventions
GPK files shall be named with the project Region number plus a job number assigned by
Survey personnel as projects are started. Example: For the 30th Geopak project in
Region 2 ... job230.gpk
All points, curves & spirals shall be created with a specific alpha prefix plus any other
letters or numbers desired by the user. This procedure must be followed in order to
prevent overwriting previously stored data.
The following prefixes will be used to name all points and curves stored in the GPK file:
Division Prefix Point Example Curve Example Spiral Example
Survey S S105 SC105 SC105A
Design D D105 DC105 DC105A
Chain & Profile names shall be named using a descriptive form (such as the road name)
so that it can be easily distinguishable by all personnel. Design personnel should maintain
the name of the alignment that is associated with the exist. R.O.W. flags when possible.
These names can be up to a maximum of 8 characters. (Examples: SR95, GourdRd).
Groundline profiles should include the word ground or grn in its name such as
95GROUND or GourdGRN.
NOTE:
In order to prevent accidental overwriting of data it is recommended that all users
work with the Redefine option clicked off in Geopak Cogo until you need to
make a change and only then go and click this option on.
Project Data Workflow
The following describes the workflow in a phased survey project. Projects not done in
survey phases will be developed by Survey personnel to completion as listed under Phase
2. Additional information procedures are the same for either phased or not.
Final Scoping Report Phase
Aerial Mapping shall be used for preliminary alignment and grade studies. Preliminary
alignment and grade will be included as part of Final Scoping Report (FSR) document for use in
survey. Other Sections shall perform environmental and historical evaluations.

Additional Information
Topo Graphics *.DGN Submit 2D version of Phase 2
Topo DGN and alignments DGN file
with marked up plots of additional
Topo and/or digital terrain model
information needed. No changes are
to be done in Topo file from this
point until received back from
Survey.
Cogo Database *.GPK In project GPK file further

development is done as needed to
continue project design. When
alignment changes have been done,
new information is sent to Survey
using Geopak Cogo input files. If
chain names were changed the new
chain name information should be
provided as well..
Topo Graphics *.DGN If modified return 2D version of
Topo DGN with marked up plots
showing deletion of existing data.
Submit 3D Topo file with additional
information and/or updates.
Digital Terrain Model *.TIN Survey Phase 2 *.TIN plus any

additional information and/or
updates requested.
Cogo Database *.GPK Additional info shall be sent to

Design by using Geopak Cogo input
files.
After Additional Information is received
Topo Graphics *.DGN Convert 3D additional information
Topo file to 2D and copy into main
2D Topo DGN. Changes in label
locations are done as needed to
enhance plans appearance.
9
Cogo Database *.GPK In project GPK file load additional

info input file to bring GPK up to
date. Further development is done as
needed to continue project design.
Geopak Cogo Input Files
To create a Geopak Cogo input file open the Geopak Cogo dialog and on the command
line enter the keyin …
MAKE INPUT FILE file-name element-list
where:
file-name Name of the input file where GEOPAK commands are written.
The name should include a descriptive word for contents plus the
GPK umber. The extension should include the letter "i" plus the
user's two letter user code. See example below.
element-list List of GEOPAK elements for which input file commands are to
be created. The format for the element-list must include at least
one of the following:
CHAIN name
CURVE name
PARCEL name
point number or range of point numbers
PROFILE name
LINE name
SURVEY CHAIN name
SPIRAL name
ALL
NOTE: The element names may include wild card characters. Selection of a
chain implies the inclusion of the store chain command but also implies
the inclusion of additional store commands for each individual
component element (e.g., point, curve, or spiral comprising the
chain). It will not store points used to store curves originally that are not
actually part of the chain such as PI points. These will need to be saved
separately.
Example
For user Joe Smith to create an input file for GPK project # 203 with all chains
created to date …
MAKE INPUT FILE chains203.ijs chain *
10
To load a Geopak Cogo input file …
1. Open Geopak Cogo, key in the job number and operator code from the input filename
(not your operator code).
2. From the coordinate geometry dialog, access the pull down File > Load.
3. Click on the name you wish to load and hit OK. The name listed will be the filename
of the input file minus the job number and extension. The file will be loaded into the
Cogo editor which you can open for review if desired.
4. Then select the icon to Process all Commands or in the Cogo keyin field enter Read.
The information will be stored.
Graphical Survey Data
All survey files shall be submitted as original versions. Additional information updates
and/or changes to survey data shall be in separate files. Changed elements shall have
notes attached in the update file indicating the deletion of any element necessary in
previous submittals and wherever clarification is required.
All files shall be in 3D Microstation DGN format. No DXF files, IGES files, or other
translation files will be accepted.
Since files provided by Survey will be in 3D and Design needs these to be in 2D for use
with Geopak it will be necessary for Design personnel to convert them to 2D.
The Microstation macro 2Dfrom3D.ba can be used to do this automatically maintaining
all graphics and their coordinate values. It can be accessed through the Microstation menu
bar under TDOT>Generate 2D DGN from 3D or by the keyin macro 2Dfrom3D.
If converting manually using Microstation commands ... ALWAYS take the following
steps in to get this done correctly:
1. Set view 1 to VI=TOP
2. Turn all the levels on in view 1
3. Fit view 1 to see all graphics
4. Go to File>Export>2D
5. On dialog under Conversion Options set to
Design File
View 1
No reference file conversion
6. Enter file name
7. Hit OK

Standard Pentables
In order to produce plotter patterning, pen tables are required. For IPLOT software the
standard pen tables are:
Units Name Purpose
English IRP336.FUL standard (full size line weights)
IRP336.HAF standard (half-size line weights)
Metric IRP336M.FUL standard (full-size line weights)
IRP336M.HAF standard (half-size line weights)
Copies of these pen tables are made available to outside sources. However, applicability
is not guaranteed.
Standard Libraries
All standard libraries are maintained through the Survey and Design Office CADD
Support Unit.
Color Table: STDCOLOR.TBL

Standard Cell Libraries: METRIC.CEL (metric projects)
STDS.CEL (English-unit projects)
Sign Cell Libraries: MSIGN.CEL (metric projects)

Patterning Using Iplot Pentables
Plotter Line Patterns
Standard line patterns are created by placing lines (or arcs, etc.) of the specified line code,
color, and level. Line weight will affect the weight at which the patterned line is plotted.

Existing ROW Lines 10 3 15
Existing Streams 4 6 17
Paper-Located Centerlines 15 0 31
Plotter Area Patterning

Standard plotter area patterns are created by placing closed shapes on certain levels at a
specific color for the pattern desired. The current level structure specifies that area plotter
pattern shapes can be drawn on the following levels with patterns available as listed.
Level Available Pattern Colors
8 11 (Scarify)
9 3 , 20-32 (All Dot Patterns)
10 31
47 All Pattern Colors
58 5 & 14 (Dumped Rock)
60 All Pattern Colors
The outline of the patterned shape should be duplicated on another level, in addition to
the pattern level, if the outline itself is required.
NOTE:
All linear patterning previously done with pentable plotter patterns using Iplot or
with Microstation using linear pattern cells is being replaced with custom line styles
developed for use in Microstation.
All area patterning previously done with pattern library area patterns using Iplot is
being replaced by cell area patterning in Microstation.
The main reason for this change is to make our files more portable to other TDOT
personnel as well as to agencies outside the state, many of which do not have access
to Iplot which we use to do these.

Standard Area Patterns and Line Weights
Standard Cell Patterning

Note that in some cases where dot patterns are used on large areas, Microstation will issue a
warning that a large number of graphics are about to be produced & asks if are you sure you wish
to do this. If you are sure that your pattern scale is set correctly you can ignore this message and
go on. If you are not sure, cancel and go check your scale.

Standard Characters & Symbols
The following table shows which characters or symbols are available in a given font,
along with the octal code for that symbol. A check mark in a column for a font indicates
that the symbol described at left is available in that font. A character or symbol other
than a check mark indicates that the octal code is used for the symbol shown for that font,
rather than the standard symbol. A blank indicates that the symbol is not available and
that the octal code is undefined in that particular font (in a design file, an undefined
character will appear as a blank).

Standard Fonts - TDOTFONT.RSC
Microstation cannot display a font that is absent from the font library.
All text fonts, except Font #7, are arranged so that the same character will have the same
height in any font at the same text size.
The standard text font is Font #3. This is an equal-space font, designed to approximate
the appearance of Leroy lettering. Font #3 should always be used for TDOT work, unless
there is a good reason to use another one. Font #2 is a proportional-space version of Font
#3. It may used when available space for text is small and it is desirable not to reduce the
text size. Font #5 is a modified version of Font #3, to be used for Standard Drawings by
Special Design.
Font #1 is a proportional-space font, with tighter packing than Font #2. It is supplied
with Micro-Station, and is not as close a match to Leroy lettering as Fonts #2 or #3, but it
may be used in extremely tight spacing. Font #0 is an equal-space version of Font #1.
As it is not a close match to Leroy lettering, there is no reason for CADD operators to use
it. (It does have a few computer-related uses).
Font #4 is a pattern font and should never be used in a design file.
Fonts #6 and #9 are symbol fonts used on by the Survey Division for existing features.
Font #6 is the preferred font. Fonts #90, #93 and #94 are symbol fonts used by the
Design Division.
Font #64 is a special "red-lining" font, which will not plot when the standard Iplot pen
tables are used. It should be used when it is desirable to make notes in a project file
which should not appear on the project prints.
Fonts #7, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15, #23, #41 and #42 are Microstation-supplied fonts, and
should not be used often; most of them take considerable processor time to plot. Unlike
every other text font listed here, characters in Font #7 are not the same height (for a given
text size) as they would be in another font. Font #11 mimics the appearance of printed
material; it is occasionally useful for fancy headings, etc. Font #12 is an italic version of
Font #11. Font #13 mimics the appearance of typed material. Font #14 is (more or less)
a cursive font. Font #15 is (more or less) a Gothic font, and is difficult to read, except at
large text sizes. Font #23 is an italic version of font #1. It is difficult to read at small
text sizes. Font #41 mimics a style of hand-lettering popular in some drafting
environments. Font #42 is a block letter style, and is occasionally useful for headings,
etc.
Blue Highway Condensed, Font #195 is provided for use when Windows based files are
linked to Microstation design files.
All fonts specifically used by the Design Division are described above. Several other
fonts are found in the font resource file. These include the standard fonts used by the
Mapping Division and the Structures Division. A combined font resource file is used to
provide for the sharing of files between divisions.

Standard Line Styles - TDOTLINE.RSC
This file contains custom line styles used by the Survey & Design Division. The file was
created in 2D so line styles can be used in 2D or 3D design files. All line styles are
created at a scale of 1. Custom line styles are used automatically by TDOT’s Geopak
D&C manager and Survey feature table.
To use a line style at a particular scale make the appropriate settings as follows:
1. Go to the linestyle selection tool and choose Custom or
keyin LINESTYLE SETTINGS.
2. In the custom line style dialog click the Show Details button to see the full dialog.
3. Click on the Scale Factor button if not already on and set the scale to the scale value
desired.
4. Choose the appropriate linestyle by double clicking on it.
5. Use whatever element placement tool needed and appearance will be as desired.
NOTE: All line styles were built in an English design file. To use for metric projects
multiply desired scale by .025. Example: For 500 scale...... 500 X .025 = 12.5
To change the scale of element(s) using a custom linestyle:
1. Fence the elements, group together with a selection set or identify one at a time once
the settings are made.
2. Repeat steps 1-4 as listed above to set scale and style desired.
3. Then use the Change Element Attributes tool to change the line style of the
element(s).
or...
Fence the elements, group together with a selection set or identify a single element
after keyin.
4. Keyin CHANGE LINESTYLE SCALE (new scale)
To change the location of text or symbols on an element using a custom linestyle to
improve readability or appearance:
1. On the Change Attributes tool box get the Modify Linestyle command. Set the tool
settings bar to Shift.
2. Identify element with a data point and then move cursor left or right to shift symbols.
3. Data point to accept new location.
NOTE: You can also access this thru the keyin... MODIFY LINESTYLE SHIFT
or from the TDOT drop down menu bar under Custom Line Styles.
Example: This is a great way to fix short property lines on which a PL symbol did not
show up.
To flip or reverse the display of a custom linestyle
1. On the B Spline Modify Curves tool box get the Change Element Direction
command.
2. Identify the beginning of element with a data point and then data point near the other
end to indicate the new beginning location.
NOTE: You can also access this thru the keyin... CHANGE DIRECTION
or from the TDOT drop down menu bar under Custom Line Styles

Typical Sections and Criteria Files
These files have been developed to apply TDOT standard roadway typical sections as
well as other non-roadway items to Geopak cross sections. All roadway typical sections
are based on the “RD-” standard roadway drawings. The TDOT standard directory
location for these files is …
C:\GeopakStandards\criteria\
*.x criteria files
criteria.ctl Geopak criteria control file containing all typical section

definitions
Typical.cel & typical section cell library and index

Typical.cdx
*.wri Write documents containing descriptions of all typical

sections
All TDOT roadway typical sections are set up to function in a shapeless mode with no
superelevation shapes, or in conjunction with superelevation shapes in a shaped mode. In
this way a preliminary proposed cross section run can be made with only a horizontal and
vertical alignment set at the time or a fully defined final cross section run can be made
with the same typical section and it's associated criteria files.
Criteria files are set up to look for pavement and shoulder lines in the plan view to control
transitioning of their widths. As the plans are developed, and these lines are produced in
graphics at TDOT's standard symbologies, this control will be reflected on the proposed
cross sections when they are processed. When guardrail and guardrail slope limit lines are
present in the plan view then side slopes, median slopes and shoulders are widened or
flattened as needed. The guardrail location is shown on the cross section with a single or
median guardrail cell.
If superelevation shapes are applied then the slopes of pavement, shoulders and subgrade
will reflect these altered values. Otherwise normal tangent cross slopes will be applied.
On roadways with medians, from the finished grade point on the left to the finished grade
point on the right, criteria files are set up to deal with locations where this area is
transitioned in or out. As this area narrows the inside segments are reduced or changed as
the situation warrants.
Case I or Case II variable slopes are placed by default with most typical sections.
Application of fixed slopes, special ditches and benching is supported. Special ditches
can be placed beside the roadway, at the toe of fill slopes or at the top of cut slopes.
Benches can be formed in rock cuts, earth cuts or earth fills.
Excavation limit lines which are used when generating earthwork quantities are placed at
all slope ties.
39
The following annotation is provided on the proposed cross sections:
centerline name & station cross section grid with offsets & elevations
cross slopes & side slopes ditch flow line elevations subgrade tie offset & elev.
final slope tie offset & elev. special ditch widths bench elevations, slopes & widths
Slope lines and ditch flow lines are produced in the proposed plan view Microstation file
if desired.
Variables used with typical sections take one of three forms:

Name.............alignment or file name.
Value..............numeric width, depth, etc.
Question.........Y or N (yes or no ) to control processing.
For more detailed descriptions of the variables used by the typical sections and their
criteria files, access their Write documents through Geopak’s Typical Sections dialog
under Project Manager>Proposed Cross Sections>Shape Clusters>Typical or by
opening them from their standard file location C:\GeopakStandards\criteria\ .

Special Ditch & Benching Control

In TDOT’s criteria files which handle side slopes, the horizontal & vertical location of
special ditches and benches is controlled by a combination of the following control
variable types.
Questions…………………….Y or N answer for yes or no
Alignment Names……………Values other than “NONE”
Numbers …………………….Values greater than 0
The following list describes the actual variables and what they control. Note that these
options are prioritized from left to right. The first situation which is true will be used.

Special Microstation Files for Geopak
These files were set up to work specifically with Geopak software
Macros
C:\Bentley\Workspace\system\macros
clearxs.ba Microstation Basic macro which deletes all elements from
proposed cross section levels 31-44 & 47-60. Just in case of
accidental deletion this macro does not compress the design file.
The user will need to do that as needed.
clearxsgrid.ba Microstation Basic macro which deletes all working cross section
grid elements from proposed cross section levels 61-62. Macro
does not compress the design file.
ew_labels.ba Microstation Basic macro which provides a dialog interface for the
3PC file ew_labels.x to add prefixes and suffixes to earthwork text
files prior to placement on cross section sheets.
traject.ba Microstation Basic macro which is used to draw a vehicle
trajectory path to help determine the point of need for guardrail.
C:\Bentley\Workspace\system\ucm
XSSheet.ucm Microstation UCM macro which places cross section sheets
as shared cells, name annotation at lower right of sheet,
project data annotation at the upper right of sheet and a plot
border on level 30. Each group of elements is placed in a
graphic group. This program is set up to work with cross
section sheets generated by Geopak stacked 5 sheets to a
vertical column with a sheet space setting of 6.
Macro Interface
C:\Bentley\Workspace\interfaces\MicroStation\default
ustn.m01 Microstation interface file provided to consultants to access macros
listed above. Also includes Microstation commands used to alter
custom line style appearance on elements and access to
Microstation macro resize.ba used in 2nd sheet production.
Microstation Configuration Variables
C:\Bentley\Program\MicroStation\config\appl
TDOTConsultant.cfg Microstation configuration variable file provided to consultants
to assign standard directory locations used by TDOT with Geopak.

TDOT.cfg Microstation configuration variable file used by TDOT personnel
to assign standard directory locations for Geopak and other
software used in Microstation.

Standard Sheet Levels and Element Parameters
The CADD system allows the designer to separate graphical information on 63
independent levels, and to distinguish elements on each level by color, by weight, by line
code, and by text size. The Tennessee Department of Transportation has standardized its
level and element parameters according to the following sections.
LEGEND
LS = Custom Line Style; scale factor must be set prior to placement.
C = Cell Placement; weight shown here is the weight the cell is drawn at.
S = Symbol (in symbol font)
AP = Cell Area Pattern
LC = Line Code
TX = Text Size
Text sizes refer to Leroy equivalents. When text sizes are listed as .120 or .100, either of
these may be used as needed, unless otherwise noted.
DTM information should be contained in dedicated DTM files, which should contain
nothing else! There should be no text at all in a DTM file. The points should be true
points (lines of zero length), not symbols.
