Pavement marking sheet

Info: The Pavement Marking file needs to have plan sheets made so that the markings can be displayed across the entire project. This process begins with creating a plan only sheet file.

Add WisDOT Standards Components and set annotation scale

1. To create a new file, Quick Access Toolbar > New.

2. SAVEthe file as <project>\SheetsPlan\xxxxxx-pm.dwg

3. Ribbon > WisDOT Sheets tab > Standards Components panel > Add All Components

   

4. Click the Model tab near the bottom left corner of the Civil 3D application window.

   

5. Click the Annotation Scale dropdown arrow in the status bar near the bottom of the Civil 3D application window and select 1 IN:50 FT (Select scale appropriate for the sheet in the project.)

   

6. SAVE the file.

Create view frames for the pavement marking sheet file

Info: View Frames are defined areas in model space along an alignment that can be used to create layout sheets with a view frame area automatically centered to scale in a viewport. A View Frame Group is a collection of View Frames used to create an automated sheet set of multiple layouts containing predefined viewports. View Frame Groups can also be data referenced to create sheet sets in other drawings.

1. To create a new file, type QNEW at the command line.
2. SAVEthe file as <project>\Design\View Frames\xxxxxx-vf.dwg
3. Data Reference into the file the primary alignment that the view frames will be created along.
4. Create View Frames. Make sure to create view frames that are the same scale that is used in the pavement marking sheet file.
5. SAVE the file.
6. Create a Data Shortcut for the view frame group.
7. SAVE the file.
8. Data Reference the View Frame Group into the Pavement Marking sheet file xxxxxx-pm.dwg.

(Alternatively, if the View Frames are not likely to be shared among other drawings, the View Frames can be created directly in the Pavement Marking sheet file.)

Create the pavement marking design file

Tip: This file will be Xref’d into <project>\SheetsPlan\024501-pm.dwg when complete.

1. To create a new file, type QNEW at the command line.
2. SAVEthe file as <project>\Design\View Frames\PM.dwg
3. Ribbon > WisDOT Sheets tab > Standards Components panel > Add All Components
4. Set the model space annotation scale to 1 IN:50 FT.
5. Xref the edgeline file into the pavement marking design file using the WisDOT Load Xref on Layer tool.
   1. Ribbon > WisDOT Sheets tab > Manage panel > Load Xref on Layer
   2. Browse to the project’s Edgeline folder and select the Edgelines.dwg.
6. Zoom extents (ZE)to see the drawing data.
7. SAVE the file.

Place pavement marking lines using the Pavement Marking tool palette

1. Open In the PM.dwg file.
2.  Ribbon > WisDOT Sheets tab > Sheet Creation panel > Sheet Layouts dropdown > Signing and Marking

3. The SIGNING AND MARKING palette group will load in the Tool Palette. Select the Pavement Marking tab.

   Tip: If palette does not appear... Ribbon > WisDOT Sheets tab > Support panel > Palettes ON/OFF

4. Scroll through the list and select Lane Line (12.5’-37.5’).

   

5. The correct layer is preset and the PLINE command will automatically begin.

6. Draw the polyline in the intended location.

   Requirement: Pavement Marking linetypes are "True scale linetypes". Objects that are set to a True scale linetype must have the object Linetype scale set to the inverse of the annotation scale or inverse of the viewport scale in order to display properly.

7. Select the pavement marking line, right-click, and select Properties.... The Properties palette will open.

8. In the Properties palette, change the Linetype scale value to the inverse of the annotation scale or the viewport scale. In this example, for an annotation scale of 1 IN 50 FT the object Linetype scale value would be typed as 1/50 -or- 0.02.

   

Place pavement marking lines manually

1. Open the PM.dwg file.
2.  Set P_PM_6 as the current layer. Ribbon > Home tab > Layers panel > Layers dropdown list

Info: The blocks in the palette are preset to Layer 0. This will allow the block to take on the settings of whatever the active layer is at the time of insertion.

1. Open the PM.dwg file.
