Documents/Correspondence For ODOT use only There are several types of correspondence throughout the project design process. A few of these documents include:     

Reports Requests Permits Applications Submittal letters

All correspondence should be placed in the project folder under Documents. This folder contains subfolders that correspond to the type of documentation.

All files should follow Roadway Design’s standard document naming convention: “JP#” “Type/Description” “Date”

Example:

12345(04) Traffic Request 9-15-14.docx

When requesting information from other divisions and outside entities there are prebuilt request form templates located in the Y:\FORMS folder.

ProjectWise (Page Reserved for ProjectWise File Structure Information) ProjectWise is a Bentley Systems, Incorporated software package that serves as a document management system to manage architecture, engineering, construction and operations project documents. ProjectWise can manage any document type including MicroStation and InRoads files, Microsoft Office Documents, as well as project photos and aerial images. Other software such as the Microsoft Office Suite can also be integrated into the ProjectWise environment. ProjectWise provides a secure environment where project information can be stored. Individuals can check out a document for revisions and check it in when the revisions are done. Others can read the document while the document is checked out but cannot revise it.

Project Explorer Project Explorer is used to browse and manage the content within a file and link MicroStation and other files associated to a project together. The Project Explorer dialog is normally docked to the left-hand edge of the application window, beneath the docked Tasks dialog.

It can also be accessed by selecting the Project Explorer icon in the Primary Tools toolbox or navigating to Project Explorer under the File menu.

The Project Explorer dialog consists of a File tab and a Links tab.

The File tab can be used to browse and manage the file content such as displays models, saved views, references, levels, dimension styles, text styles, shared cells, and other file content. You can also view the content of the active model. The model content includes saved views, levels, named groups, rasters, point clouds, references, elements, and so on. The model content is displayed by expanding the active model under the Models category. You can view the content of the active model only.

The Links tab can be used to see the linked data. Project data is stored in link sets in a DGN file or in a DGN library. A link set contains hierarchical information about links or grouped information in project data. Links to MicroStation elements can be created from: Files, Folders, Key-in commands, and URL’s (Web addresses)
