• A WSDOT Preference for the View Closed Area command has been created.
• Point annotation configured for most geometry styles to annotate Name, Description, Northing/Easting and
  Elevation. Points will not be annotated by default in the WSDOT preferences, but that option can be easily
  toggled on in the Geometry=>View Geometry=>Horizontal Annotation command.
• Point symbols will no longer be set to display with the horizontal annotation preferences that produce PS&E
  compliant centerlines. The names of these preferences were changed to WSDOT Existing Alignment and WSDOT
  New Alignment to reflect that they produce alignments only. WSDOT preferences are still set to display points.

2009_03_12

• The text sizes throughout the WSDOT resources have been adjusted to match the November 2008 Plans Preparation Manual.  An option to use the pre Nov 2008 standards will be available on the WSDOT menu through June 2009.  Please see:

  These points will be a cell mapped to the ST_GU_StructureCenter level.
• A new code NS is available for use that gives surveyors a code to use for unusual or project specific point features for which there is no other standard code. Surveyors should use the DNC control code where appropriate and should include a comment to describe what the point is. These points will be
  mapped to the BL_PT_NonStandard level.
• A new code NSL is available for use that gives surveyors a code to use for unusual or project Specific linear features for which there is no other standard code. Surveyors should use the DNC control code where appropriate and should include a comment to describe what the line is. These lines will be
  mapped to the BL_LN_NonStandard level.
