Contains mainly bug fixes
Enhancement – Linked Data Manager (LDM)
Possible Enhancement – New “Heavy” font
Possible Enhancement – Application usage reports
Poll: Would you find the addition of a heavier
font useful?
LDM is an application that can be used to link
spreadsheets, ASCII text documents, and CSV
files in MicroStation design files.

On of the more difficult parts of developing the FDOT
workspace is managing resources.
◦ Prioritize maintenance of existing applications
◦ Identify under utilized tools
Reduce expenditures
Investigate reason for low usage
◦ Identify most utilized tools
Define training needs
Support staffing
Maintenance \ Modification impacts
Cad Pilot can tabulate how many times each
application is run.
ECSO could then review utilization statistics.
Poll: Would you be willing to share your utilization
reports?
Our first Civil 3D based workspace,
FDOT2012.C3D, should be released early 2nd
quarter
We will request that at least 5 new projects
start using Civil 3D in 2013
Project Managers choice as to platform used
Support for both platforms will continue
A significant update to the CADD Production
Criteria Handbook (CPCH) should be released
early 2nd quarter of 2013.
◦ Streamlined Electronic Delivery
◦ Digital Signature
◦ Autodesk language added
Deliver the CADD Files
Empty directories can be deleted
Composite PDFs
◦ Eliminated need to sign / seal sheet image plot files
of every single sheet
Signing and Sealing can be done
electronically with PEDDS or Digital Signature
Each FPID of a strung project is a separate set
of delivered data under its own directory
FDOTSS2 is a replacement for FDOT2010. The
primary goal is to update versions of
MicroStation\GEOPAK or PowerGEOPAK.
Based on next GEOPAK Select Series (SS) 2
Refresh.
FDOT will use new PowerGEOPAK based on
MicroStation SS 3 and GEOPAK SS 2 Refresh.
May Include:
◦ New Custom Linestyles
◦ Annotation Scale
New development for FDOT2012.C3D will end
February 15th and conversion to the Civil 3D
2013\14 version will begin.
Potential July release of 2013\14 version.
It’s likely that incentives (Federal MAP21 and
Everyday Counts) for 3D design is forthcoming.
We will request that beginning in January 2014, all
new projects begin using 3D design as the
foundation for the plans for projects that can
benefit from 3D modeling
Poll: Have you started to utilize 3D design techniques
(GEOPAK Corridor Modeling or Civil 3D)?
FDOTSS3 is being developed to support an
upcoming GEOPAK SS 3 release.
Major overhaul of FDOT workspace is
required.
