| I
received a prompt for selecting seed files and cell files. |
Select the "browse" button
next to the "Model" and "Drawing" panels. Navigate to
the m:\cadd\workspace\standards\seed\ directory and select nhseedm.dgn for
metric projects or nhseedft.dgn for Imperial projects. The cell library to
be used is m:\cadd\workspace\standards\cell\exist-in.cel/. Make sure to check
"Use common cell library" box.

| I
received error messages about cells not being found. |
| This is usually caused when MX is
looking for the wrong cell file to select the MicroStation cells. In
MicroStation, select Cells from the Element menu. The correct cell
file should be m:\cadd\workspace\standards\cell\exist-in.cel.
If this is not correct, it needs to be
modified. See the notes above for selecting the seed and cell files.

| My
linestyles or symbols in MicroStation are too big/small |
| This may have been caused by the
styles being scaled when they were transferred to MicroStation. This is a
setting in MX that needs to be changed.
While MX in MicroStation is running, select View
from the MX menu. Then select Configuration, then MX to
MicroStation. On the panel that appears, select the Macro Line Styles
or Macro Symbols... button. Look for the check-box labeled Ignore MX Macro Scaling.
Make sure this box is checked. Also, check to make sure the cell file setting is
correct (see question above). Delete the DGN that was created by MX and
re-create the drawing.

Items are not landing on the correct levels in MicroStation |
| This usually means that the MX model defaults for the model being drawn
need to be adjusted. If the style and feature sets listed in the model defaults do not match the data in the
dpw/dpf, then the elements will
not be placed on the correct MicroStation level.
While in MX select Model Defaults... from
the Tools menu. The style set should be set to the one used to
create the drawing (or MfW Cross Section.pss for section drawings).
The feature set should be NHDOT.fns for plan drawings and MfW Cross
Section.fns for cross-sections.
If this does not resolve the problem, contact the
CAD/D support staff. Ii is possible that there is a discrepancy between
level information in the style and feature sets.
