Express Bridge Layouts

This is a sample of the geometric output EBL produces. It is not a stamped engineering drawing and is not for construction. Client adds dimensions and obtains engineer-of-record approval. See Terms of Service.

Sample Deliverable

A representative sample of the three views in a Full Package — the file format and the scope header your team receives, built around the inputs below.

How to use these in AutoCAD or MicroStation

The sample files above are commented examples that show the format and the scope header; they do not draw geometry when run. Delivered project files do, following exactly these steps.

AutoCAD

In a blank drawing, type SCRIPT at the command line and select the downloaded .txt file. The geometry will draw on the layers defined in the script.

MicroStation

Open a blank DGN and use the Key-In browser to source the file (@filename.txt), or paste the command lines directly into the Key-In window.

After import, your team adds dimensions and runs engineer-of-record review before any construction use.
