OpenRoads SignCAD contains the U.S. Federal and state standards that define fonts, character and object spacing, route markers, panels, arrows and symbols.

When choosing <strong>OK FOR ALL</strong> in the new file dialog box, it will turn the new file prompting off and open any new files in the selected standard. For example, if U.S. 2009 is the selected standard in the new file dialog and <strong>OK FOR ALL</strong> is selected, then all new files created will default to the U.S. 2009 standard. If you choose <strong>OK</strong> in the new file dialog box, then you will be prompted to select a standard when choosing a new file.</p> <p><img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-52/choosing-standard-from-File-menu.PNG" /><img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-52/new-file-dialog.PNG" /></p> <p style="color:#000000;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:1.6em;margin:1.5em 0px 0px;text-align:left;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;"><b style="font-weight:bold;"><img alt=" " src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-52/pastedimage1599053740794v1.png" /></b></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: File, how to, Preferences</div> https://communities.bentley.com/products/road___site_design/w/road_and_site_design__wiki/51243/selecting-standards-in-openroads-signcad/revision/1Wed, 02 Sep 2020 13:51:52 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:46ddc3f0-7a4d-4b91-a76f-7c7e918f2048Lynnanne Robyhttps://communities.bentley.com/products/road___site_design/w/road_and_site_design__wiki/51243/selecting-standards-in-openroads-signcad#commentsRevision 1 posted to OpenRoads | OpenSite Wiki by Lynnanne Roby on 9/2/2020 1:51:52 PM<br /> <p style="color:#000000;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:1.6em;margin:0px 0px 1.5em;text-align:left;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;"><strong style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-size:150%;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="font-size:x-large;">Question:</span></span></span></strong></p> <p>How do you select a standard in OpenRoads SignCAD?</p> <p style="color:#000000;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:1.6em;margin:1.5em 0px;text-align:left;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;"><strong style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="font-size:150%;"><span style="font-size:x-large;">Answer:</span></span></span></strong></p> <p>When creating signs in OpenRoads SignCAD, it is important to select the correct standard.
