Resource Updates for WSDOT CAE Applications

Notify me of updates

At all times, the latest complete sets of our resources will be posted on our websites as the FULL VERSION. We will also try to maintain a patch that will allow users to download just the changes from the previous FULL VERSION to the current FULL VERSION. It may not be possible in all cases to provide a patch. Because we will only post one patch at any given time, users who fall more than one version out of date will need to download and install the current full version and will not be able to use the patches.

Current Release:

This information is also available within the resource download in the date.tag file. It can be found in the [C:\]CAE_RSC\app._environment folder on any workstation that has the WSDOT environment installed.

By comparing the file on a workstation to the resource change history, an administrator can easily tell if the workstation has the latest resources or not.

Description

Summary:
This is a fairly large update that includes many changes.

This resource update may impact your project data so it is important that you carefully review the information below - particulary the Actions Required After Update - for the impacts, update specific issues and tools/technotes to assist with integrating the new standards with on-going projects.

Also review the CAE Resource Change Philosophy for more information on change management in the WSDOT CAE environment.

Some highlights of this update are:

  • Revised and reorganized roadway marking levels. There is a much clearer visual distinction between existing and proposed RD_MK line styles. Also the line styles have been redone so that users can apply weights to them for flexibility in displays.
  • The Traffic items for Signals, Illuminations and ITS have undergone a complete review. There have been many items added and all the items in these areas have been reviewed for size and appearance in the regions and in the HQ Traffic office.
  • Generic geometry styles and feature styles in various colors have been added to the resources for designers to use for displays and preliminary work.
  • Basic resources for batch printing have been added to the MicroStation resources. An updatedtechnote can be found at: Inroads - Printing Cross Sections.
  • The ability to create and place a Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) stamp has been added.
  • A text import wizard for importing FWD files has been added to the InRoads resources.
  • The WSDOT template library for use with InRoads XM has been updated to incorporate user comments received since it was originally published.

Special Installation Note:
The patch version of this resource update includes a cleanup batch file that will remove obsolete files from your WSDOT environment. See the installation instructions for full details.

Description

Summary:
This set of resources is in correction to the 20071017 set. The 20071017 version placed the COMMON folder of the resources to the root level rather than under the CAE_RSC folder as intended.

In addition, the WSDOT Create Project utility was revised to work better in a consultant environment and a couple of bugs in the MicroStation VBA libraries were corrected.

Special Installation Note:
The 20071017 full set of resources may mistakenly create a C:\COMMON folder on your workstation the contents of which are shown below. That directory can be deleted after installing the 20071219 resources.

 

Actions Required upon Update: None


Details:

MicroStation Expanded Level Environment (for use w/ InRoads)
  • Corrected zip file so that the Common folder unzips to the correct location. Was unzipping under root rather than cae_rsc as intended.
  • Now uses a Create Project.exe that does not modify the wsdot.cfg file.
  • New VBA library that corrects an issue with plotting R/W sheets.
  • New VBA library that corrects problem with Global Cell Scale macro. Macro was incorrectly affecting group elements.
MicroStation 63 Level Environment (for use w/ CAiCE)
  • Corrected zip file so that the Common folder unzips to the correct location. Was unzipping under root rather than cae_rsc as intended.
  • Now uses a Create Project.exe that does not modify the wsdot.cfg file.

Description

Summary:
WSDOT resources now include production versions of resource files supporting InRoads XM. Other changes include fixes and the addition of some new survey codes and the supporting symbols and levels. There are no changes to symbologies, level names or cell names in this update, so no special steps need to be taken with on-going project data with the implementation of these updates. However, because of the changes to the InRoads 2004 INI files to support the new survey codes, users will need to update their projects’ INI files using IPFSynch.


Actions Required upon Update:
InRoads IPFSynch

Delivery mode:
This update is a FULL RESOURCE, VERSION 20071022. Any current version of the resources should be deleted and the current version should then be installed.
