    Loading the SignCAD MDL (CONNECT applications)

    1) Open the OpenRoads SignCAD.cfg file found in the C:\OpenRoads SignCAD\Ustn\CONNECT folder in Notepad.

    2) Remove the # before the line: MS_GUIDGNLIBLIST > $(OPENROADS_SIGNCAD_USTN_CONNECT)SignCAD Ribbon.dgnlib and save your changes.

    The modified OpenRoads SignCAD.cfg should look like the one shown below:

    3) Copy the modified OpenRoads SignCAD.cfg file from the C:\OpenRoads SignCAD\Ustn\CONNECT folder and paste it into the Bentley CONNECT product appl folder.

    Example Paths:  C:\Program Files\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer CE 10.10\OpenRoadsDesigner\config\appl

    C:\Program Files\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer CONNECT Edition\OpenRoadsDesigner\config\appl

    C:\Program Files\Bentley\MicroStation CONNECT Edition\MicroStation\config\appl


    4) Copy the SignCAD Ribbon.dgnlib file found in the C:\OpenRoads SignCAD\Ustn\CONNECT folder and paste it into the Gui folder.

    Example Paths: C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenRoads Designer CE 10.10\Configuration\Organization\Dgnlib\Gui

    C:\ProgramData\Bentley\MicroStation CONNECT Edition\Configuration\Organization\Dgnlib\Gui

    5) Select the SignCAD workflow to open, place or paste a SignCAD file in OpenRoads Designer or another CONNECT application.

    a. To open a SignCAD file in a new DGN file, pick “Open SignCAD File", browse to the location where the SGN file is saved and select the file. Click on the Settings button to define parameters and then press OK to both dialogs.

    b. To bring a SignCAD file into an existing DGN file, pick “Place SignCAD File”, browse to the location where the file is saved and select the file. Click on the Settings button to define parameters and then press OK to both dialogs. Left click to place the sign on the workspace.

    c. To Paste a SignCAD File, select the sign in OpenRoads SignCAD and pick Edit>Copy. From the integrated SignCAD menu, pick "Paste SignCAD File". In the SignCAD File Open Settings dialog, choose the desired settings and press OK. Left click to paste the sign on the workspace.
