 Webinars ◦ Submit topic requests to:  Design Training Expo  Spring FLUG - Cape Canaveral - June  Fall FLUG – Tampa – December

 Maintenance Release 4 for FDOT2010 will be available in late January. ◦ Contains mainly bug fixes ◦ Enhancement – Linked Data Manager (LDM) ◦ Possible Enhancement – New “Heavy” font ◦ Possible Enhancement – Application usage reports  Poll: Would you find the addition of a heavier font useful?

 LDM is an application that can be used to link spreadsheets, ASCII text documents, and CSV files in MicroStation design files.  LDM Webinar on

 On of the more difficult parts of developing the FDOT workspace is managing resources. ◦ Prioritize maintenance of existing applications ◦ Identify under utilized tools  Reduce expenditures  Investigate reason for low usage ◦ Identify most utilized tools  Define training needs  Support staffing  Maintenance \ Modification impacts  Cad Pilot can tabulate how many times each application is run.  ECSO could then review utilization statistics.  Poll: Would you be willing to share your utilization reports?

 Our first Civil 3D based workspace, FDOT2012.C3D, should be released early 2 nd quarter  We will request that at least 5 new projects start using Civil 3D in 2013  Project Managers choice as to platform used  Support for both platforms will continue

 A significant update to the CADD Production Criteria Handbook (CPCH) should be released early 2 nd quarter of ◦ Streamlined Electronic Delivery ◦ Digital Signature ◦ Autodesk language added

 Deliver the CADD Files  Empty directories can be deleted  Composite PDFs ◦ Eliminated need to sign / seal sheet image plot files of every single sheet  Signing and Sealing can be done electronically with PEDDS or Digital Signature  Each FPID of a strung project is a separate set of delivered data under its own directory

 FDOTSS2 is a replacement for FDOT2010. The primary goal is to update versions of MicroStation\GEOPAK or PowerGEOPAK.  Based on next GEOPAK Select Series (SS) 2 Refresh.  FDOT will use new PowerGEOPAK based on MicroStation SS 3 and GEOPAK SS 2 Refresh.  May Include: ◦ New Custom Linestyles ◦ Annotation Scale

 New development for FDOT2012.C3D will end February 15 th and conversion to the Civil 3D 2013\14 version will begin.  Potential July release of 2013\14 version.

 It’s likely that incentives (Federal MAP21 and Everyday Counts) for 3D design is forthcoming.  We will request that beginning in January 2014, all new projects begin using 3D design as the foundation for the plans for projects that can benefit from 3D modeling  Poll: Have you started to utilize 3D design techniques (GEOPAK Corridor Modeling or Civil 3D)?

 FDOTSS3 is being developed to support an upcoming GEOPAK SS 3 release.  Major overhaul of FDOT workspace is required. ◦ Annotation Scale ◦ Element Templates ◦ Civil Features ◦ Project Explorer ◦ Design Standards ◦ Civil Geometry ◦ Civil Accudraw ◦ Civil Cells ◦ New Workflows ◦ New Training Manuals

 Formation of a Consultant Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) is being considered ◦ Multi discipline ◦ Meet (GoToMeeting) at least quarterly ◦ Occasional send questions via ◦ Provide input on direction and development ◦ Report issues relating to consultant environment  Those interested please send an to stating interest

 ProjectWise  Subsurface Utility Design and Analysis (SUDA)  Bentley Map  Windows 8  Mobile / Cloud based computing

 It’s going to be a very busy year. ◦ January - FDOT2010 MR4 ◦ April – CPCH Update, FDOT2012.C3D, Streamlined Electronic Delivery ◦ July – FDOTSS2, FDOT2014.C3D  3D Design!!! Soon to be required. Get a head start.  FDOTSS3  Questions?
