SCDOT provides a number of downloads on their CADD Design website (https://www.scdot.org/business/CADD-Design.aspx) that are intended for contractors use. I have downloaded the “Complete Microstation and Geopak Workspace” .exe file and have been attempting to bring up this workspace and other configurations into our Microstation files but have not been having much luck. The tables and other preferences are there but seed/template files are blank and I don't want to start creating my own template file afraid I'll miss something (especially in the Geopak files).
You should look for some readme type instructions or even call or visit your DOT folks. Public employees can be oh so helpful.
First thing to check is what Microstation version they're working with.

Thanks i have gone through the readme file again and that gave me the idea to try downloading the file into a difference location.
