TDOT CADD Software

Our goal is to assist software users in the development of roadway projects and provide training resources for those CADD products.

Tennessee is on the road to Digital Delivery with OpenRoads.

DEPLOYMENT UPDATE 

TDOT is currently using ORD 2022 Release 1 (10.11) for any new projects, but recommending that projects that were begun in ORD 2021 Release 1 or 2 (10.10) be developed in 10.10 since there are issues with the uplift process. 

As of July 2021, all new projects should be surveyed in ORD. Existing projects will be analyzed on a project-by-project basis to determine if a project should be converted to ORD. Therefore, consultants should coordinate with their applicable TDOT design manager to determine if a project should be converted or not. 

WARNING: Be sure to make a copy of your existing MicroStation V8i (SS2/SS10) dgn file(s) if you plan to open them in ORD. Information may be lost as some aspects of ORD files are not reverse compatible with MicroStation SS2/SS10 files.
