The CPN Model
The CPN model, ( C ounty & P roject N umber), should be created in the Design file, (.dsn, .geo, .sol, etc), using the Model_ Create New tool, accessed from the Geopak: D&C Manager, as shown at the right.
(If the item is not found as shown, use the D&C > Edit > Find tool to locate it.)
NOTE: Do not use the MicroStation Create New Model command, as it will not provide the correct model name for the new CPN model, as used in the Office of Design.
When the County Project Number option has been chosen from the Prefix drop down list, the dialog will change, as shown below.
Click the Create Model button and the new CPN model will be created. The CPN model will differ from other models, in that it is not referenced to the other models, and the other models are not referenced to it. For instructions on creating other types of models, see 21A-40.

CPN Data and Placement
The CPN data placement command is accessed from the Geopak: D&C manager, as shown to the right.
The CPN Data Placement command accesses the CPN Data dialog, shown below. The only MicroStation elements to be placed in the “CPN” model will be “ County Name, Project Numbers , PIN, Project Description, Work Type ”, etc., as shown in the completed dialog below.
By c licking the OK button in the dialog above, the information in the text fields will be placed in the “CPN” model, at the correct level, font, sizes and location. If the “CPN data” that is located in the “CPN” model must be changed, simply re-run this tool again. The existing “CPN data” in the model will be captured and displayed in the dialog for review and editing.
The CPN “ C ounty and P roject N umber” information and Design Team information, are placed at the bottom of each plan sheet, as shown below.
The text in the graphic below is too small to read, but it shows how the “CPN data” is placed 100 times, in five rows, for twenty sheets in each row (red arrow). The additional information at the lower left sheet location, (blue arrow), is the CPN data that is unique to the Title Sheet alone.
The CPNdata placement command will only function when accessed from a “CPN model” that has been named “ County Project Number”. If the command is accessed from a model with any other name, the following error message will display.
If “CPN data” already exits in the model, the dialog below will display, providing the options to continue or stop.
Select “Yes” to continue. The existing “CPN data” information will be “captured” and displayed in the CPN Data dialog, as shown at the right, and the existing CPN text elements will be deleted from the file.
Complete or edit the information, as necessary, and click the OK button. The “ CPN ” model will then be populated with the new information, for 100 sheets.
CPN Model, Attach to Sheets
The CPN Model Attach to Sheets command is accessed from the Geopak: D&C manager, as shown at the right.
This command will attach the CPN ( C ounty P roject N umber ) model information to all specified models in a sheet file.
The CPN Model Attach to Sheets command will search the standard directory location for the “.dsn” file containing the County Project Number (CPN) model. If the model is not found, the CPN Model Location dialog will display, as shown below with the “ Can not find the file …” message. Click the Browse button and select the file containing the “CPN” model.
If the “CPN data” is to be attached to multiple sheets in the “Working” model, check the Use Working Model check-box ().
If the “CPN data” is to be attached to several individual sheet models, each containing a single sheet, click the Select Model button, which will produce the Select Model dialog, shown two dialogs below.
The following dialog will display if:
- The check-box is checked, (), and there is no “Working” model, or
- The OK button is clicked before any models have been selected.
Click the OK button (above) or the Select Model button, (on the previous dialog), and the Select Models dialog will display, shown below.
