OPENROADS DESIGNER (ORD) CONNECT EDITION

Please contact the TDOT ORD Team at TDOT.ORD@tn.gov with any questions, reporting of defects or enhancement suggestions. Please check our FAQ for answers to frequently asked questions. 

DEPLOYMENT UPDATE 

The roll-out of ORD has begun! In 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. 

ORD WORKSPACE AND RESOURCE FILES

Find support files, the latest workspace and the requirements and guidelines documents and forms on the ORD Resources Page.

DISCLAIMER: Since the TDOT ORD workspace is continuing to be enhanced, TDOT welcomes feedback and any identification of potential defects and enhancements. TDOT will begin providing technical support for the ORD workspace once it is fully deployed.

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.
