Major Hydraulic Levels Changes - All Hydraulic levels in the DRN file will be remapped to their new levels. This in turn may effect your IPS files for plotting. Meaning new levels may get plotted even though they were turned off once, not to be plotted on the old levels. Thus recreating plot files for iPlot Organizer may be necessary. Along the same line of possible plotting conflicts, our design scripts will have accommodate the new levels. Aside from these two known key issues, we do not anticipate any other major problems with the Hydraulic implementation of their new level DGNLIBs.

January 26
New Shoulder Berm Gutter linestyle "Prop Conc Shoulder Berm Gutter" created. If you have existing projects that have shoulder berm gutters being drafted on the old level, "Prop SBG", with three lines, do not change them to the new level which only has a single line. Changes to this new level will offset the location of the shoulder berm gutter to move 2'-4" toward the centerline if you choose to do so! Only use this new level on newer projects that do not have the existing Prop SBG levels.
