Georgia811 Logo
The Georgia Utilities Protection Center, Inc., has a new "Georgia811 - Call Before You Dig" logo. A .cel file of this new logo for use on GDOT plans can be found on the GDOT FTP site.
- Access the GDOT FTP site
- From the "Page" pull down menu in the upper right corner choose "Open FTP Site in Windows Explorer"
- Username is "dotpublic"
- Password is "dotoutside02
- Open the folder "/UtilityDgns/811Logo"
- Copy and paste the "GDOT-GN-General-Notes-Georgia811.cel" file into the "C:\GDOT\GDOTRoad\Cells" folder on your computer's hard drive.
The "GDOT-GN-General-Notes-Georgia811.cel" file is a Microstation J cell library. The logo is to be placed into your drawings as a cell:
- Open the appropriate Microstation J sheet file (typically the General Notes sheet)
- From the top drop down menu choose "Element", then "Cells
- A "Cell Library" dialog box will appear
- From the "File" menu, choose "GDOT-GN-General-Notes-Georgia811.cel"
- Once the cell library fill appears in the window of the Cell Library dialog box, click on it to activate it then choose "Placement"
- Close the Cell Library dialog box
- From the Microstation J "Main" tool box, choose "Place Active Cell"
- When the "Place Active Cell" dialog box appears, ensure the fields for the active angle and the X/Y scales are populated as needed
- Place the Georgia811 logo on the sheet
- Left click to set in place
- Right click to reset
An update to the standards for the Electronic Data Guidelines and associated CADD Standards for existing Microstation J projects will be made available later this summer.
