FDOTSS2 Maintenance Release 4 (MR4)
FDOTSS2 MR4 contains updates necessitated by changes to Design Standards, Plans Preparation Manual
(PPM), and the Basis of Estimates (BOE) as well as bug fixes to address reported issues. In an effort to
make applying the updates easier they have been combined into a single zip file. This zip file contains all
of the updates made since FDOTSS2 was originally released. Below you will find an explanation of the
updates contained in the zip file.

LDM
LDM Version 1.01.10
 Fixed column widths issue for Excel between different machines
running with different DPI
 Text files are now placed as cells instead of Text Nodes, so that
they can use the same rotation functionality put in place for
Word and Excel.
 The angle at time of placement for Text, Word, and Excel is
related to the view rotation instead of true north in the design
file.
 LDM now recognizes the rotation and scale of Word, Excel, and
Text placed in a design file. If a Linked File is scaled or rotated
after being placed, then LDM will use that same scale and
rotation when updating the graphics.
 Added text style for Word documents. FDOT Bold (LDM)
 Fdot.LDM.Structures.xml
o Added Summary of Protection of Existing Structures to
the template drop down list of boxes from Roadway. Also
added a new drop down category for link to the Soil
Survey Sheet under the Roadway section.
o Changed the Excel TextStyle setting to use FDOT Bold
(LDM). Corrected file name and description for the
Summary of Monitor Existing Structures.
 Many LDM templates were updated for formatting
 The following LDM templates were added:
o PROJECT NOTES.docx
o SWPPP_SHEET1.docx
o SWPPP_SHEET2.docx
o SWPPP_SHEET3.docx
o DrainStructNotes.txt
o KSComponents.txt
Changed project type default to Digital Delivery.
Corrected bug in adding and removing tab pages and report
sections.

per Estimates Bulletins 15-01, 02, & 03.

Corrected Sidewalk Component Sort code by changing by
Designer counter from eccc to eswkc.


Component names were formerly being determined by the
name of the component folder containing the DGN file. Now
the component name (and folder path) is being determined by
the component as determined using the component logic rules
in the SheetInfo.xml. So Drainage sheets will now be part of
the Roadway component and a separate Excel file will not be
generated for Drainage.
The sort order is now based on the Print Order and not the
Sheet Number.
Fixed issues with drainage files being sorted and autonumbered correctly.
The following files were not defined correctly in the sheet order
section: DRXSRD01, CTLSRD01, UTVHRD01
Added RDGEO to the sheet order section.

FDOTSS2 Maintenance Release 2 (MR2)
There have been several significant updates since the release of FDOTSS2 MR1. In an effort to make
applying the updates easier they have been combined into a single zip file. This zip file contains all of the
updates made since FDOTSS2 was released. Below you will find an explanation of the updates contained
in the zip file.
CAiCE
 Revised State Plane Zone to 902 West.
 FDOTUtil-lis - Revised old quality levels A,B,C,D to QLA,QLB,QLC,QLD
Cell Libraries
 Pavement Markings Cell Library - Increased the size, rotation and direction of the Bike Symbol to
make sure our cell library stays consistent with the Design Standards.; BikeLaneSym has been
fixed. It would not ID or compute when placed with the D&C Manager.
 Signalization Cell Library - Updated Flashing Sign cell scale.
 Roadway Cell Library - Centered Key Sheet title text; Guardrail changes. See Guardrail Updates.
 Roadway Cell Library - Removed the guardrail linestyle from the guardrail end anchorage
assembly cells; corrected the origin point for the CRT end anchorage cells.
 Roadway Cell Library - Florida Map verbiage corrected by adding an apostrophe (') to the
"FLORIDA'S TURNPIKE" label in the kmfloridamap and keysheet (ks...) cells.
 Roadway Cell Library - Modified the EndAnch cells for the Type II, Melt, and CRT. Updated to
match dimensions in the index.
 Roadway Cell Library - Added EngOfRecord-SheetNav to work with Sheet Navigator. It needed
the cell origin in a different location.
 Cell Web Pages – Updated images.
 Structures Cell Library – updated cell webpage as per request by SDO.
Create/Edit File
 Fixed the Project Selection combo box to show full path even if longer than the box itself.
Criteria
 Exist_Slope.x - Corrected syntax - it broke in SS2 with the comments within the lines of the
Define_dgn variable. Removed the comments and added the type back in.
Custom Line Styles
 Updated line styles. Updated tree line styles to close gaps in line; Updated water line style that
got corrupted; Updated the easement line style to scale properly; Updated Conduit line styles to
match new standards.
 Added new line styles for rumble stripes and pedestrian channelizing device.

Drainage Updates
Drainage Report Format
Files
 The FDOT_SpreadTab_format.drf and FDOT_StormTab_Format.drf
files have errors in them. This error will cause the debugger to
come up to the following point in the code. Fixed.
Drainage Report Format
Files
 The FDOT_SpreadTab_format.drf and FDOT_StormTab_Format.drf
files have errors in them. This error will cause the debugger to
come up to the following point in the code. Fixed.
Drainage Pattern Lines
VBA
 Updated to avoid VBA picture error
Drainage Cross Section
Pipe Cell
 The origin for the pipe cell was inadvertently moved during the
transition to be compliant with Annotation Scale.
Draw Sign
 The Draw Sign Program was not selecting the correct pay item. In fact, based on the Sign
Assembly configure the Auto Select function on the Post Properties tab simply didn't work. This
was due to a missing end bracket in the 3pc code and a few mismatched Mounting titles in the
DrawSignPostOptionControl.csv file and the 3pc file.
 Fixed the Remove and Relocate on the Multi-post entries throughout the 3pc file as they were
set to the Proposed Post Symbols instead to of the existing post symbols. Updated file modified
date to 3-7-2014. Fixed the Remove code for Single and Multi-post where it was not selecting
the correct existing post symbol representing removal. There were also code issues with the
Proposed/Remove function that was fixed. The _s_GenericAlternatePayItem in the
Proposed/Remove entries were missing causing the Proposed/Remove selection to only place
the proposed post symbol.
 Updated modified date within the compute_signpost_payitem.3pc file.
 Updating Payitems to be consistent with TRNSPORT Payitems within the
compute_signpost_payitem.3pc file.
 Fixed issue with multiple quantities generated with Proposed/Remove items. Added Flashing
Beacon as separate pay item instead of AS.
FDOT Group Filters
 Added groups for zones 5, 6 and XSections. I have also added zones 1 & 2 as a criteria along
with ground for the GDTMRD groups and added ground as a criteria to go along with zone 4 for
the Bridge DTM groups. Along with these changes I have removed the Baseline, Baseline
Control, Reference lines, and Cross Sections from the TOPORD groups and pointed them to their
own zones or groups. These changes will alleviate the need for users to make changes to fit
district workflows and will give them more flexibility than the original groups.
FDOT Menu
Standard
 Added QCStop before the FDOT Menu Configuration.
 Updated version number for hotfix - erroneously omitted in last update.
Roadway
 Added Quantity Rounder to the menu under the Trnsport items.
RW Menu
 Change notes containing "Minimum Technical Standards " to "Standards of
Practice"
Traffic Plans
 The Traffic Plans menu was released with the Create Edit links specifying the
CreateEdit.ini file that does not exist. The correct INI file is CreateEditV8.ini. This
change was made in the Traffic Plans.xml file which also makes it consistent
with the other FDOT Menu Bar discipline Create Edit links.
FDOT Toolboxes
 Updated FDOT Lighting Workflow to include conduit level name changes.
 Updated lighting toolbox to include new conduit levels.
Filechecker
 Both Classical and Digital Deliveries required _meta_info folder. Removed code differences,
excluding _meta_info folder form required folders.
FDOTSS2.DDB Update
 Changed the computation spread rate back to 165 lbs/sy for Friction Course FC-12.5. This was
modified in the BOE prior to the release of MR1 and changed back to original values shortly
after. Also, modified the compute parameter to use Equation with adhoc for THICKNESS instead
of using the Standard Unit for TN to quantify. (Per Roadway TAC decision.) Set the 4.75 items to
a default thickness of 0.5" and spread rate of 110 lbs/sy/in Per Developmental Specifications.
 Replaced the cell ESIGN2 with ESign2Post for the items ExistingSign2, RemExistingSign2, and
RelExistingSign2.
 Corrected accuracy settings for the Pavement Marking items.
 Added 8" Yellow NM Pavement Marking items to 2 reactive component, paint, and
thermoplastic. Also added back the 8” LF pavement markings.
 Deleted blocked items from High Performance Preformed Tape category (All but GM items).
 Fixed Compute Parameters for the wrong way directional arrow under thermoplastic. Changed
from Standard Unit to Adhoc Attributes so that the calculations will include the 17 rpms per
index.
 Corrected Digital Video Decoder pay item 684-4-AB.
 Deleted Managed Ethernet Hub Switch (now Managed Field Ethernet Switch).
 Added SU_QLA_ep back into the Existing Plan Utilities under Unknown.
 Updated the Guardrail End Anchorage Assembly items.
 Added new pay items: 102-62 (Barrier Mount Work Zone Signs) and 102-74-5 (Pedestrian
Longitudinal Channelizing Device).
 Changed the description for the Temporary Barricade items to Channelizing Device.
 Minor corrections made in fdotss2.ddb database through testing.
 Added Shop Bent Panels (536-2 LT & RT).
 Added Rumble Stripes to Thermo Standard markings. (546-72-52 & 546-72-53).
 Added Rumble Stripe options for Open Graded Thermoplastic.
 Added Shop Bent Panel (LT & RT) 536-2 to guardrail category.
 Corrected level for CATVBur Level D from C to D.
 Updated the compute settings to remove the option (if checked) to Round Up. This option
along with the rounding option for conservative in Quantity Manager resulted in higher
quantities to be calculated than what LDM was getting when using the computed value and then
having Excel round using the nearest option. Now the results are correct and match in all 3
tools.
 Removed the option to round up to the nearest 12.5' for the guardrail panels. The designer
should be designing the guardrail to accommodate the standard panel lengths. Having this set
can potentially calculate incorrect quantities resulting in an excessive length of guardrail.
 Deleted blocked concrete pay items.
 Added Category for Beacons under the Signing discipline and removed all adhocs from the items
used by the Draw Sign program.
Quantity Manager
 Modified the configuration variable, item_total_quantity_rounding, in the qm.cfg file to have
Quantity Manager round quantities to the nearest number instead of using conservative and
always rounding the totals up.
Geospatial Workspace
 Updates to workspace per Expo comments within features and operations.
Guardrail updates
 Includes FDOTSS2.itl, roadway cell library, line style rsc file, and fdotSS2.ddb. Deleted the End
Anchorage Assembly cells for the options BEST, ET, FLEAT, HBA, LET, REGT, REGTC, SKT, and SRT.
Modified the generic flared and parallel cells to match the new standards. Added cell for the
parallel at curbed locations for both TL-2 and TL-3 conditions. DDB - Modified the flared and
parallel items to include the changes to the cells. Added items for the new cells. Users will now
draw cells with a default item and calculate with the compute item.
GuidSIGN
 Add existing levels (GSSign; GSOutline; GSDims; GSColorFill; GSBWFill) to strlevels.dgnlib for
use of the GuidSIGN in the Structures environment to create the Vertical Clearance Gauge
Sign.
LandXML Grouper
 Updated help file.
LDM Automation
This update includes fixes for the reported errors being encountered when automating the summary
boxes along with some enhancements.
 Corrected pay item 210-1-A and added new concrete pay items in Summary of Pavement xml
file.
 Changed adhoc case to all caps to match the fdotSS2.ddb (Summary of Driveways & Summary of
Pavement).
 Deleted pay item number from the Summary of Temporary Driveways since it is supposed to be
included on the Summary of TTC.
 Corrected start row in the Summary of Underdrain xml.
 Removed blocked pay item 520-1-8 in the Summary of Curb & Gutter and Traffic Separator xml.
 Corrected column designations and changed thickness adhoc to all caps so it comes in in the
Summary of Miscellaneous Asphalt xml.
 Added sorting adhoc for 6” sidewalk in the Summary of Sidewalk.
 Corrected pay item number for soil tracking prevention device in the Summary of Erosion
Control xml.
 Added plastic erosion mat to the Summary of Performance Turf.
 Specified the correct pay item for the riprap rubble - ditch lining in the Summary of Ditch
Pavement (It was creating confusion since the other options do not go on this summary box.
They need to go with the appropriate summary for the application.).
 Per request from construction, added summary box template for temporary signalization which
includes quantity columns (pay items not to be included in the summary of TTC).
 Added Summary of Temporary Signalization and Detection to the Computation Summary Boxes
drop down list.
 Modified the Summary of Temporary Crash Cushions (This summary box is to now include the
quantity and the pay item is not to be included in the summary of TTC).
 Corrected end row for box 1 of Roadway Summary of Underdrain Expanded report.
 Updated the array and x,y values from sheet origin for new automation in the
Fdot.LDM.Roadway.xml
 Recreated to fix an issue with the automation in the Summary of Turf and Prepared Soil
Expanded report. It was not deleting the correct columns and acting inconsistently.
 Corrected syntax for Roadway summary reports: Summary of French Drain Expanded, Summary
of Permanent Crash Cushions, and Summary of Temporary Crash Cushions.
 Updated rounding for the subtotals of Roadway summary reports and computation summary
boxes.
 Added Unit Precision Tag to the Fdot.LDM.Roadway.xml and Fdot.LDM.xml files.
 Changed the rounding for T, L, and R to round to the nearest hundredth within the dbcurv.xlsx
template.
 Un-hide column C in the Roadway Summary of Verified Utilities template.
 Added the Summary of Box Culverts so that it is available in the structures workspace under

 Survey Levels – corrected wells_ep to Plot = ON
 RW Levels – Added GIS Raw and Promoted filters; Added SU_QLA back to level library and filter
 Menu/Configuration
Print Styles
 The FDOT Print Styles were updated in MR1 to reduce the search for print borders to the Master
file and reference files that start with the letters BD. This caused an issue in the Structures
workspace where the referenced sheet borders are stored in a file named StrBorders.dgn. This
updated FDOT_PrintStyles.dgnlib now searches for print borders to the Master file and
reference files that start with the letters BD and StrBorder.
 Updated printer name to lpt3 in FDOT_Letter.pltcfg.
 Shaded level overrides so they will be printed if they are turned on in the view attributes of the
file. FDOT_PrintSytles.dgnlib
QC Software
 Fixed bug when QCBatch form is canceled dgn file would reload.
Right of Way Updates
Rweng.ldb
 Added chord bearing curve option; removed last end of curve call
(not needed).
RW ftb and tbl
 matched level number changes in dgnlib
Row Cell library
 Order element front to text for all parcel bubbles.
 Changed cover sheets certification "MINIMUM TECHNICAL
STANDARDS" to "STANDARDS OF PRACTICE".
 Added RWTAB2 for use with LDM template.
Notes
 Changed "Minimum Technical Standards" to "Standards of Practice"
in: consur.txt, manintcnt.txt, maintsr.txt, monumt.txt.
TOPORW
 Assign the TOPORW to the OPEN rule file. SAMTAC discussed the
fact that Right of Way Mapping is using any and all design survey
features.
RW Seed file
 Set the default font to FDOT Vert and saved settings. rwseed2d.dgn
FDOT_SS2rw.smd
 Added CRW to TOPO Other. Added SMA, SMAE to TOPORW.
Themes.xml
 Added SMA (support mast arm) to TOPORW point list.
Toporw.lis
 Removed subsurface Steam lines.
Seed Files
Structures
 Since our FDOTSS2 MR1 release we have been receiving calls on the Structures Seed
File, but more specifically the PlotBorder_dp level was plotting on the Structures
Sheet Borders. This was due to the Plot option being toggled on in the Level
Manager. Deleted PlotBorder_dp from the 2D & 3D seed files.
FDOT
 Set the default font to FDOT and saved settings
Sheet Navigator Update
 Fixed the issue with print definition not being loaded correctly for models other than those
named “Default".
 Print Sets without DGN sequence number - The filename is no longer being included in the Print
Order column. The Rule “value” attribute is used from the application settings file - without the
ending *.dgn specification. If the Rule node is not found the default ordering is “99.999”.
 Rotated sheets not being printed correctly - When the sheets are rotated they need to be
loaded during the creation of the print definition because the rotated sheets do not match the
PSET template. As a speed enhancement we were previously only loading the sheets when the
model name was not “Default”, but now we also load the sheet print definition when the sheet
is rotated.
 Added the signXX*.dgn file to the indexing order for each component.
 Changes made for Standard Index Files to work with Sheet Navigator.
 Added QCStop command before Sheet Navigator is executed to SheetInfo.xml and on the
Actions Menu.
 Added file exclusions for redline files and duplicate files. Added CTLSRD and RDSSGEO to the file
list in the roadway component section of the sheetinfo.xml.
 Modified component index Excel template to work with LDM.
Support App
 Updated phone numbers
 Add John Hazlip to the support page.
Survey
 Added configuration variable, ECSDK_GEOMETRY_STROKING_TOLERANCE=0.1 to end of file.
Text Style Fixes
 Corrected the Text Styles and the FDOT True Type Font Text Styles specifying Arial as the set
font. Also, the fdot2dseed.dgn had 4 embedded text styles that would not allow the following
text styles to synchronize with the FDOT_Styles.dgnlib:
FDOT (Large)
FDOT (Medium)
FDOT Bold (Large)
FDOT Heavy (Large)
 Corrected the strslevels.dgnlib file delivered with MR1 that had messed up fonts assigned to the
text styles with all the fonts set to Arial.
 We have also enhanced the Text Styles with a set .25 underlined which by default is turned off.
However, all the user will have to do is toggle on the underline for the text style and the
underline is already set to a .25 offset.
XML Quantity Rounder
 This version fixes the rounding issue. It was using Banker's rounding rules which rounds towards
the nearest even number for midpoint values (decimal values ending in 5). Now the application
always rounds midpoint values away from zero, so that 1.5 is rounded to 2 and 2.5 is rounded to
3.
FDOTSS2 Maintenance Release 1 (MR1)

 Added “Print Order” column to the Navigator View There is now a “Print
Order” column in the Navigator View, and it is now the column used as the
default Sort setting when an index is first opened. This column contains the
name of the sheet’s Print Definition, so that it will match sorting used in the
Print Set.
 Only setting the Print Definition Model Name when not “Default” When
creating the Print Set, the model name for each Print Definition is now only
being set if it is not named “Default” – which is the model name used by the
template Print Definition. This is intended as a possible speed enhancement
when generating the Print Set.
Typical Sections
Menu

Labelshapeswithid.mvba
 Remove the ability to save the Font settings for now.
 Corrected Font issue. It now saves and uses TTF.
Mergefiles.mvba
 Below is the link to the latest version of MergeFiles. This version retrieves the
current Annotation Scale value from the “Settings>Drawing Scale” dialog prior
to merge and then restores the value after merge. There are a few things you
might want to consider/test and have me change:
1) I’m not setting the current state of the Annotation Scale lock, just the
scale selection in the drop-down.
2) After restoring the original annotation scale setting, I am calling
“PropagateAnnotationScale” so that all elements will reflect the change in
annotation scale. Someone should just check to make sure that the scale of all
elements using Annotation Scale are being scaled as expected after the merge.
3) These new settings for PlotScale, Geographic Coordinate System, and
Drawing Scale are only being loaded/restored from the active model. They
may need to be applied to all models in the design file. If that’s the case, verify
that this is working for the active model first and then I can apply the same
process to all models in the design file.

it would reset the variable on each section. It labeled once per run not on each
section. Modified the labels so that it was labeling the alignments correctly.
 New_Pavement.x - Modified the criteria so that it will label and dimension the
survey bl. It was being called from NewPavement which does not always get
called. Moved the code to overlay.x. Also added the variable to OncePerSection
so that it would reset the variable on each section. It labeled once per run not
on each section. Modified the labels so that it was labeling the alignments
correctly.
 Overlay.x - Modified the criteria so that it will label and dimension the survey bl.
It was being called from NewPavement which does not always get called. Moved
the code to overlay.x. Also added the variable to OncePerSection so that it
would reset the variable on each section. It labeled once per run not on each
section. Modified the labels so that it was labeling the alignments correctly.
 Help Files - Added MOTW code to allow images to display in the IE 11 browser
from a local or network source (other than a web server).
Comp Book Style  Update from 2010 did not get moved forward to SS2
Sheets
 Old Compbook Reports for QM have been removed from the FDOTSS2 platform
due to the introduction of LDM.
Fdot_ss2.xml
 Added point codes for linear elements.
Geotechss2.gtp
 Updated the cells being called to use the "_PS" to use the proper scale.
Linked Data Manager (LDM)
 Fixed the issue with incorrect station values when there are regions that decrease in value.
 Fixed the issue with station equations.
 Modified the default save location for Create New from Quantities
When using the “Create New from Quantities” button in the Link Information form, the default
save location is now the folder “\{ProjectRoot\Calculations”. ProjectRoot is retrieved using the
“_PROJDIR” configuration variable. All other suggested save paths used by the application
default to the same folder as the current design file.
 Added the ability to apply actions to multiple selected links
In the main form, the user can now select multiple linked file rows from the datagrid (and the
graphics-bounds highlights are shown for all currently selected rows in MicroStation). Multiple
file rows can be can be selected by dragging the cursor across multiple rows, or by using the
SHIFT and CTRL keys when selecting individual rows. When multiple rows are selected, the rightclick context menu will only have the following options enabled: “Update Now”, “Delete Link”,
and “Delete Link and Graphics”. If any of these options are selected, they will be applied to all of
the currently selected linked files. NOTE: You can also use CTRL+A as a shortcut to quickly select
all rows in the datagrid.
 Added MRU (Most Recently Used) drop-down lists
MRU drop-down lists have replaced two fields that were previously text controls:
1) “Source Path” in the Link Information form
2) “Quantity Manager Database” in the Quantity Manager Summary Reports form.
In both cases, they allow the user to select from the five most recent selections made for each
field. The selections are saved and loaded from the LDM user settings file:
“C:\Users\{windows_username}\AppData\Local\{ustn_username}\LDM\UserSettings.xml”.
 Modified quantity total to appear on the first row only
When extracting quantities, the Total is now only being shown on the first row for each pay
item and is not repeated even when the pay item spans multiple pages.
 Now using Excel Print Area
When creating a link to an Excel file, if a Print Area is defined then only the range defined by the
Print Area is used to draw corresponding table graphics in MicroStation. This includes handling
for hidden columns.
 Now using Excel Leading Spaces
The application now allows spaces to be placed in front of text within Excel cells, so spaces can
now be used to represent an indent.
 Added Adhoc Secondary Sorting
The application can now use Adhoc values as a secondary sort order. To use, include the new
optional node “/ComputationSummaryBox/AdhocSort” in the report settings document. For
example:
<WorksheetNaming name="Box" startSuffix="2"/>
<AdhocSort>Lift</AdhocSort>
If this node IS included in the report settings document, then the sort order is: Pay Item, Adhoc
Value, Stationing
If this node IS NOT included in the report settings document, then the sort order is: Pay Item,
Stationing
The adhoc values are sorted in ascending order. If the adhoc type is a number, the application
uses a numeric sort, otherwise it uses a string compare. Adhoc type comes from
ADHOC_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE in the database.
 Added Adhoc Filtering
Adhoc values can now be used to optionally filter which quantity entries are used for specific
pay items. This new functionality is implemented differently based on the type of report:
Report Type “SharedQuantityColumn”: There is now an optional “adhoc” attrribute that can be
used on PayItem nodes to qualify which quantity entries are included in the report. For
example:
<PayItem name="0160 4" adhoc="PavementType:Private Driveway, Public Driveway" />
 New version to address "Delete Link" not working and "Source Path" drop down not populating the
dialog box when a file is chosen.
 This version addresses the issue with blank entries in MRU drop-down lists reported.
 Corrected the description for the summary of utility adjustment. Not for use with "JPA with
utilities" (not JTA)
 Added the new Summary of Walls
 Modified the descriptions for the wall summary boxes
 Modified the padding setting to 2 from 6. Set up roadway summary boxes for structures' use.
 Matched the Roadway line spacing setting for consistency
 Added Summary of Special Detour to the Roadway option.
 Templates have been created, modified and/or updated for use with LDM.
 Added Walls summary box. Unlocked the cells for construction's use so that they can still access the
contents when the sheets are write protected.
 Added columns for Final quantities to all sheets and only showed sub-total and total rows at the
