ODOT Employees

The correct version of the workspace for MicroStation, OpenRoads Designer, OpenSite Designer, and OpenBridge Modeler is automatically downloaded to your computer based upon the version of the Bentley CAD software that you have installed. ODOT Employees may select the Custom Configuration of the OregonDOT WorkSpace and the ODOT WorkSet when using the CAD software with DGN files that are stored locally or in personal/crew server shares. When accessing DGNs stored in ProjectWise, the project WorkSet will automatically be used in conjunction with the OregonDOT WorkSpace from your C: drive.

The V8i workspace was frozen in 2020 and the standards are 4 years out of date! However, the old V8i workspace is automatically downloaded to ODOT computers if Power InRoads V8i is installed.
