This site is an access point to MnDOT’s agency wide CADD resources and information for using MnDOT’s Bentley ProjectWise system to access project data. The CADD resources are in the agency standard Bentley MicroStation V8i file format and Bentley GEOPAK V8i format. Use of these files allows designers to create MicroStation CAD documents that adhere to MnDOT publication standards for engineering plans. The ProjectWise system may only be accessed by MnDOT staff and external partners who have obtained an access account from their MnDOT Project Manager.
