Update: October 21, 2013 CADD Engineering Standards Manual The following section was revised: Section 502.1 General Page 92 The following verbiage was added: Per section 1307.1 of the L&D Manual s Volume 3, as of the first letting in February 2014 the General Summary for all new single-funded projects shall be required in an Excel format using the standard spreadsheet (GENSUM_VBA_AASHTOWare.xls) available on the Office of CADD and Mapping Services CADD external webpage. It is recommended that all multi-funded projects use this Excel spreadsheet as well, if practical. This Excel spreadsheet will be used to transfer all quantities directly into ODOT s Office of Estimating s AASHTOWare software. All quantities must be carried to this spreadsheet (i.e., pavement, retaining walls, structures). Any quantities that are not carried to the AASHTOWare spreadsheet will not be included in the Engineer s Estimate. The spreadsheet can be copied, or linked, to a CADD file containing a standard sheet border for inclusion in the plan images set, or for printing purposes. It is critical that the AASHTOWare spreadsheet s format not be modified; for this reason, the spreadsheet is locked to prevent format modifications. If columns are inserted and/or deleted, the process of importing the data to the Office of Estimating s software will not function as designed. During the transition to this requirement, any new General Summaries that are created must use the AASHTOWare Excel spreadsheet. Any existing General Summaries can be completed using the method they were started with. Appendix A: The following pages were updated: Page 26 added the new DR_X_StormCAD and DR_X_StormCAD_Annotation levels. Page 49 added the new DR_P_StormCAD and DR_P_StormCAD_Annotation levels. Page 51 added the new EV_Study_Area level. Page 73 added the new PM_X_Chevron_Line level. Page 77 added the new PM_P_Chevron_Line level. Ohio Department of Transportation Page 1 of 10
Update: July 19, 2013 CADD Engineering Standards Manual The following section was revised: Section 502.1 General Page 92 The following verbiage was added: Per section 1307.1 in L&D Volume 3, the General Summary for all new single-funded projects shall be created in an Excel format using the standard spreadsheet (GENSUM_VBA_Trnsport.xls) available on the Office of CADD and Mapping Services CADD external webpage. This excel spreadsheet will be used to transfer all quantities directly into ODOT s Office of Estimating s software. All quantities must be carried forward to the General Summary (i.e., pavement, retaining walls, structures). Any quantities that are not carried to the General Summary will not be included in the Engineer s Estimate. The use of the Excel format is optional on multi-funded projects.

Update: April 19, 2013 CADD Engineering Standards Manual: The following Sections were revised: Section 502.1 General - Page 92 Added the following language to require that Single Funded project General Summaries be generated using Excel. Per section 1307.1 in L&D Volume 3, the General Summary for all new single funded projects shall be created in an Excel format using the standard spreadsheet available in the ODOT CADD Standards which can be found on the Office of CADD and Mapping Services CADD page (GENSUM_VBA.xls). The use of the Excel format is optional on multi funded projects. During the transition to this requirement, any new General Summaries that are created must use the Excel spreadsheet. Any existing General Summaries can be completed using the method they were started with. The spreadsheet must then be placed into a CADD file using such programs as Cadig s AutoTable. ODOT has published standards and user guides for Cadig s AutoTable, which can be found on the Office of CADD and Mapping Services CADD page. It is critical that the spreadsheet format not be modified, as a result this spreadsheet is locked to prevent format modifications. If columns or rows are inserted and/or deleted, the process of importing the data to the Office of Estimating s software will not function as designed. Appendix E Electronic Submission Checklist Page E-1 Added the following language to require that the General Summary Excel file be submitted if used. Ohio Department of Transportation Page 3 of 10
Update: January 18, 2013 CADD Engineering Standards Manual: The following Sections were revised: Section 101 Introduction - Page 1 The following text allowing for the acceptance of Autodesk deliverables was added as Draft and is now Final. ODOT will accept electronic and printed deliverables generated from Autodesk tools. ODOT will provide no support, standards, documentation, or guidance of any kind with respect to design and delivery using Autodesk tools. All CADD related documentation, training, supporting files, and customization provided by ODOT shall be MicroStation/GEOPAK based only. The design software to be used on a project shall be mutually agreed upon by the district and consultant, and shall be explicitly stated in the project s scope. Once the decision has been made to use either MicroStation/GEOPAK or Autodesk, there shall be no deviation from the agreed upon design package, and the same one shall be used until the project s completion. ODOT will continue to operate internally using MicroStation and GEOPAK only. The final deliverables of an Autodesk designed project in printed or electronic format shall mimic that of a project designed and delivered using MicroStation/GEOPAK. The electronic deliverables for projects designed using Autodesk tools shall be delivered in the native Autodesk format, and not converted to MicroStation/GEOPAK format. Section 104 Trademarks Page 2. Revised the first paragraph to change 2010 Bentley Systems to 2012 Bentley Systems. Added: Autodesk is a Registered trademark of Autodesk, Incorporated. Section 201.4 Configuration Variables and Files Page 4.

In the table the following Filters were added along with adding their Values and the Result: Aerial Mapping Spatial Features Topo Features Section 206.2 Cell Types Page 30. Revised the first paragraph: Most of the cells created in ODOT s cell libraries have been created as graphic cells. The symbology (color, line style, line weight, and level) of a graphic cell is determined when it is created. When graphic cells are placed, they are level-independent, i.e., they keep the settings that were active when they were created. A few cells have been created as point cells where appropriate. A point cell takes on the active symbology set in the file at the time it is placed. Most of the cells created in ODOT s cell libraries have been created as graphic cells. The symbology (color, line style, line weight, and level) of a graphic cell is determined when it is created. When graphic cells are placed, they are level-independent, i.e., they do not rotate with the view and they keep the settings that were active when they were created. A few cells have been created as point cells where appropriate. A point cell takes on the active symbology set in the file at the time it is placed and are view independent, i.e., they rotate with the view. Section 206.3 Cell Libraries Page 31. Revised the second paragraph: A set of cell libraries has been developed to include standard signs from the Office of Traffic Engineering, Sign Design Manual.
