OpenRail Standards

The OpenRail Standards section is used to create, edit or review horizontal and vertical geometry design standards, feature information, civil cells, annotation, and graphical filters.

Standards stored in dgnlibs are displayed in gray (view only), while standards used in the active file are in blue (editable). When a standard from a dgnlib is used in the active file, it is copied into the active file section.

You can manage the content in the following ways:

Right-clicking a category - You can select a menu item from the pop-up menu to perform actions on the standards. For example, if you right-click the Feature Definitions category you Properties, Zoom, Isolate, Clear Isolate. These options are the same for all categories.
Right-clicking a category within a category - You can select a (sub)category from the pop-up menu to perform actions on the selected category. For example, if you right-click Alignment within the Feature Definitions category you see New Category, New Feature Definition, Properties, Zoom, Isolate, and Clear Isolate. These options are the same for all (sub)categories within all categories.
Right-clicking an item - When you right-click an item in any category you see utility tools related to the items. For example, if you right-click an AlignmentPointAlongAnnotation, the pop-up menu contains Cut, Copy, Rename, Delete, Properties, Zoom, Isolate, and Clear Isolate. These options are the same for all items in all categories.
Double-clicking a category or (sub)category - Expands or collapses the category or subcategory.

The following categories are built in and cannot be changed. Additional categories at this hierarchical level are not supported. Subcategories are supported and can be nested. Items can also be added beneath any category.

Category	Description
Feature Definitions	Contains features which have
Feature Symbologies	Used in conjunction with feature definitions, stores
Annotation Groups	Contains groups which are each a collection of annotation definitions.
Annotation Definitions	Contains individual annotation defitions
Civil Cells	Contains civil cells from DGNlibs and active file.
Design Standards	Contains horizontal and vertical geometry design standards.
Terrain Filters	Contains graphical terrain filters created in the Graphical Terrain Filter Manager.
Survey Settings	The Survey settings define the standards and behavior used when creating a field book and objects generated by survey data.
Site Layout Settings	Predefine design parameters and Layout properties that are configured for the Site Objects. Default design values OpenSite will use when placing Site elements, they user customizable.

Loading Temporary Library

In OpenRoads Standards, right-click on Libraries for the menu to appear and select Load Temporary to select and Load a temporary dgn or dgnlib Library. Navigate to the dgn or dgnlib location and select the desired file.

Temporary dgn/dgnlib workspace files has an added ability to temporarily add a dgn or dgnlib file to an active session.

The dgn/dgnlib will be fully functional allowing features like.

Feature definitions
Feature symbology
Settings
Element templates
Levels

To be used and copied just as if the dgn/dgnlib was configured as part of the workspace.

Note: Once the product is closed and started again the temporary dgn/dgnlib is no longer used.

Update Standards From dgnlib

OpenRoads Standard provides an option as "Update Standards From dgnlib". The command updates the standards stored in the active file to match the latest versions of the same standards in the workspace dgnlibs.

You can access the option as explained below.

In Project Explorer, go to the OpenRoads Standard section.
Right-click and expand on the file.
Select "Update Standards From dgnlib to update all the libraries.
