About this Configuration

In 2006 we began to update our configuration of MicroStation V8.5 (2004 Edition) for use with InRoads. We decided this was the perfect time to reestablish our MicroStation configuration to take advantage of some of the new enhancements within MicroStation V8 and also to take full advantage of InRoads. This new configuration can be found on this page. We are still maintaining the MicroStation V8.5 (2004 Edition) for use with MX (2004 Edition). This configuration can be found on the MicroStation for MX Downloads page.

MicroStation V08.05.02.35 (2004 Edition) with InRoads Version 8.8

We are no longer making adjustments to V8.1 configuration. All MaineDOT users are running V8.5 (2004 Edition).

Our MicroStation configuration includes numerous additions to the menu structure. However, all original selections, as provided by Bentley, are still included. We have made extensive use of Settings Manager and macros.

The files listed below should provide all the resources necessary to add the MaineDOT configuration to an existing MicroStation installation. We have designed our configuration such that our files are kept separately from Bentley's, and from any other configuration you might be using.

Due to the size of the data to be made available, we have split off some of the resources into separate zip files. If you would like to request a CD of our Custom Install disk, send an email to MaineDOT CADD Support.

These files are being provided in a compressed ZIP format, which is a widely used standard. For decompressing these files, we suggest WinZip, which can be obtained from its publisher at www.winzip.com. With Windows XP, you should be able to use these zip files as "compressed folders" without using WinZip.

Hint: To download one of the following ZIP files, right-click on the underlined file link, then choose Save Target As... from the pop-up menu.  You should then get a dialog box, which provides an opportunity for you to designate where a copy gets saved on your PC's file system.

Our MicroStation/InRoads configuration only supports US Customary units.

Plan Sheet Renumbering Utility

The following Zip contains an install set for MaineDOT's Plan Sheet Renumbering Utility. This utility provides an easy way to organize plan sheets. Our "sheet file" DGN names begin with a 3 digit numerical prefix and an underscore. This program allows the user to arrange or rearrange the order of the sheets, insert placeholders, etc., then automatically rename the sheet files to reflect the new order in the updated prefixes.

To install, unzip the files to a temporary folder and run Setup.exe.
