Creating a new filter.

Hello,

My name is Seandrell McLemore and I work with the CADD Department with the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT).

Recently we created a new Title Sheet with the new levels:

Name

Number

IDENTIFICATION BLOCK - TDOT 400
IDENTIFICATION BLOCK - CONSULTANT 401
Title Sheet - Text 402
Title Sheet - LINE WORK 403
MAP 404
MAP - TEXT 405
PHASE PRELIMINARY 410
PHASE RIGHT-OF WAY 411
PHASE CONSTRUCTION 412
Project Length - ROW 420
Project Length - Construction - Riding Surface 421
Project Length - Construction - Non Riding Surface 422
Project Length - Resurfacing - Riding Surface 423
Project Length - Resurfacing - Non Riding Surface 424
Project Length - Resurfacing - Only 425
Project Description - Preliminary 430
Project Description - Right-Of-Way 431
Project Description - Construction 432
Revision - Text - Right-Of-Way 440
Revision - Text - Construction 441
Traffic Data Block No 1 - Survey Date 450
Traffic Data Block No 2 451
Traffic Data Block No 3 452
DESIGN EXCEPTION BLOCK 453
ROAD TO BE CLOSED BLOCK 454
NO EXCLUSIONS BLOCK 455
EXCLUSIONS BLOCK 456
County Map 460

Creating the levels was not a problem, however making the new filters work is another thing. I wanted to create filters to switch between Preliminary, Right-Of-Way and Construction phases.

Title Sheet - TDOT - Preliminary
Title Sheet - TDOT - ROW
Title Sheet - TDOT - Construction
Title Sheet - Resurfacing
Title Sheet - Consultant - Preliminary
Title Sheet - Consultant - ROW
Title Sheet - Consultant - Construction

When I try to test the new filters, the correct filters do not turn on or off accordingly. Here is a breakdown of one of the filters:

When I import the (.dgnlib) file with the new filters and test it out, levels that are suppose to stay on turns off. Is there something I am doing wrong?

  • It appears you may have been supplying file(s) within your post above so we could have a closer look at the work you have performed and for testing. Could this bee supplied again as it does not appear to have attached properly. It would also be helpful if you could provide the version of MicroStation you are using along with a workflow of how you are expecting to perform this operation. I was surprised when you mentioned you were importing the DGNLIB file, rather than just defining its location using MS_DGNLIBLIST.
