Abstract
The A/E/C CAD Standard has been developed by the CAD/BIM Technology
Center for Facilities, Infrastructure, and Environment to eliminate
redundant Computer-Aided Design (CAD) standardization efforts within
the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Federal Government. The
manual is part of an initiative to develop a nonproprietary CAD standard
that incorporates existing industry, national, and international standards
and to develop data standards that address the entire life cycle of facilities
within the DoD.
The material addressed in the A/E/C CAD Standard include level/layer
assignments, electronic file naming, and standard symbology. The Center's
primary goal is to develop a CAD standard that is generic enough to operate
under various CAD software packages (such as Bentley's MicroStation and
Autodesk's AutoCAD) and incorporate existing industry standards when
possible.

In 1995, the combined resources of the Center, the American Institute of
Architects (AIA), the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI), the
United States Coast Guard, the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning
Contractors National Association (SMACNA), the General Services
Administration (GSA), and the National Institute of Building Sciences
(NIBS) Facility Information Council began an effort to develop a single
CAD standard for the United States. Working together, these organizations
agreed to develop an integrated set of documents that collectively would
represent the United States National CAD Standard (NCS).

Scope
This manual provides guidance and procedures for preparing ComputerAided Design (CAD) products within the Department of Defense (DoD).
Chapters 1–5 of this manual address topics such as presentation graphics,
level/layer assignments, electronic file naming, and standard symbology.
Appendix A contains tables on model file level/layer names.
1.3
Purpose
The purpose of this manual is to set a basic CAD standard to ensure
consistent electronic deliverables (products) within the DoD. This manual
1
ERDC/ITL TR-12-6; Release 6.0
sets a CAD standard specifically for the A/E/C disciplines of facilities
development and civil works projects.
1.4
Background
The immediate benefits of CAD standards are many:
•
•
•
consistent CAD products for customers
uniform requirements for A-E deliverables
sharing of products and expertise.
Recognizing such potential benefits, each of the DoD agencies independently
initiated efforts to establish CAD standards in the late 1980s. In 1989, the Air
Force Logistics Command released the Architectural and Engineering
Services for CADD Implementation within Air Force Logistics Command.
Headquarters, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, in 1990 published Engineer
Manual 1110-1-1807, Standards Manual for U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Computer-Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) Systems. In 1993, the Naval
Facilities Engineering Command distributed its Policy and Procedures for
Electronic Deliverables of Facilities Computer-Aided Design and Drafting
(CADD) Systems.
To consolidate these efforts into a single standard, the Center was tasked
to develop standards for the A/E/C disciplines. This manual presents the
Center’s continuing effort at standardizing CAD requirements for A/E/C
design and construction documents.
1.5
Target systems
This standard does not target any specific CAD system or software.
However, to ensure successful translations among CAD applications,
certain system-specific characteristics were considered and the standard
adjusted accordingly. During the preparation of the standard, several
baseline decisions were made:
•
•
•
The standard must be applicable to the latest release of commercially
available CAD packages. AutoCAD and MicroStation were chosen
based on their prevalence in the DoD.
The standard is based on CAD applications that utilize layer/level
names and reference files.
The standard requires every final plotted drawing sheet to have its own
separate electronic drawing file.
2
ERDC/ITL TR-12-6; Release 6.0
1.6
Design applications and other applications
Numerous design applications have been developed to run on top of basic
CAD engines. These applications can be used by designers to generate
graphics inside CAD files. Most notable are design software packages for
CIM and BIM.
Document management systems that contain attributes or metadata for
individual files and have such features as title block integration are
becoming standard tools for management of electronic files. Use of these
systems to store searchable metadata for files is encouraged.
1.7
Coordination with design agent
With all the complexity and options currently available in the world of
CAD, it becomes important to coordinate fundamental aspects of design
work. The previously mentioned issues of basic platform, design
applications, and document management are only three of the issues that
can affect the success of a project and the future usefulness of the final
documents. As such, each project should have at its initiation discussions
and agreements on such issues as these. Each software package being used
should be approved and a determination made on how many of the supporting electronic files should be provided to the customer as a part of the
end product.
1.8
Additions/Revisions
This standard is intended to be neither static nor all inclusive and thus will
be updated and enhanced as appropriate. Suggestions for improvements
are strongly encouraged so that subsequent updates will reflect the input
and needs of CAD users.
Recommendations or suggested additions should be sent to the following:

Drawing File Organization
2.1
Design area
2.1.1 Available drawing area
The two most extensively used CAD applications within the DoD,
AutoCAD and MicroStation, both provide for a drawing area with nearly
infinite range in each positive and negative axis (x,y,z).
2.1.2 File accuracy (units)
CAD systems allow the designer to work in real-world units. The most
common units are feet:inches, survey feet:hundredths or thousandths of
feet, and meters:millimeters.
MicroStation’s approach to file accuracy allows the user to set the working
units (i.e., real-world units) as the following:
•
•
Master Units = The largest unit that may be referred to when working
in the design file (e.g., feet, meters)
Sub Units = Subdivisions of Master Units (e.g., inches, millimeters).
In AutoCAD, the basic drawing unit for any file is the distance between
two fixed Cartesian coordinates. For example, the distance between
coordinates (1,1,1) and (1,1,2) is one drawing unit. A drawing unit can
correspond to any measurement (e.g., foot, inch, meter, mile, fathom).
AutoCAD users may enter the Units display option to set the desired
drawing units.
The Units command of AutoCAD does not have a direct metric system
setup. For metric designs, the recommended procedure is to choose the
Decimal option in the Drawing Units dialog box. This will allow each
drawing unit to represent decimal meters, millimeters, and so forth, at the
discretion of the user.
2.1.3 International Feet versus Survey Feet
Many sites have to deal with the initial question as to whether a particular
project is designed using International Feet or Survey Feet. In some states,
4
ERDC/ITL TR-12-6; Release 6.0
it is specified by statute that units of measure for grid coordinates have to
be either International Feet or Survey Feet. The two units are defined as
follows:
•
•
International Feet: 1 foot (ft) = 0.3048000 meters (m)
U.S. Survey Feet: 1 ft = 0.3048006 m.
Looking at this comparison, the difference between the two (0.0000006 m)
may seem insignificant; however, ultimately this difference may cause
coordinate values to be off by several feet, resulting in inaccurate design
files. In MicroStation, the units.def file does contain a definition for Survey
Feet (usually stored in c:\Program Files\Bentley\Workspace\
System\data), but it is disabled by default in some earlier versions. To
enable, scroll down the units.def file to the section English units (based
on U.S. Survey Foot) and delete the # in front of #sf,ft, which will allow
for the selection of Survey Feet from the Working Units box the next time
MicroStation is started.
Note: If a drawing has already been created using International Feet,
changing the Master Units to Survey Feet will not automatically scale all
elements in the drawing to Survey Feet.
2.1.4 Origin (global origin)
Positioned within every electronic drawing file is an origin (“global origin”
in MicroStation and “origin” in AutoCAD). The origin of a drawing file is
important because it serves as the point of reference from which all other
elements are located. Origins are typically defined in a drawing file by the
Cartesian coordinate system of x, y, and z.
The benefit of standardizing the location of the origin of a drawing is most
notable in the use of reference files (see section Reference Files (XREFs) in
Chapter 4). A standardized origin is also helpful when translating files
between CAD applications. The recommended global origin for twodimensional (2D) files in both AutoCAD and MicroStation drawings is x =
0 and y = 0. When three-dimensional (3D) files are used, the z-origin
should be set to allow for elevations below 0.
5
ERDC/ITL TR-12-6; Release 6.0
2.2
Design, drawing, and sheet models
Inside each CAD file can exist Design/Drawing Models (or Model Space
for AutoCAD users) and Sheet Models (or Layout for AutoCAD users).
2.2.1 Model files and sheet files
Two distinct types of CAD files are addressed in this standard: model files
and sheet files.
2.2.1.1
Model files
Note: This model files section contains definitions for both Design Models
and Drawing Models.
A model file contains the physical components of a building (e.g., columns,
walls, windows, ductwork, piping). Model files are drawn at full scale and
typically represent plans, elevations, sections, etc. Model files can be
generated either by placing graphics or from BIM model extractions/views.
Model files are used as components in creating plotted sheet files. The
information contained within a model file for a discipline may be referenced
by other disciplines to create the particular model files or sheet files for that
discipline.
A model file can be considered a work in progress. For instance, a
mechanical engineer may reference the architect’s floor plan model file to
begin development of the HVAC ductwork layout model file. Meanwhile,
the architect can continue developing the floor plan to meet new requirements. Any changes to the floor plan would be immediately accessible to
the mechanical engineer. The viewing of real-time updates eliminates a
great deal of frustration for other disciplines because it allows for
on-the-spot rather than after-the-fact modifications.
Design Models are where models are developed or possibly assembled
prior to creation of the Sheet Model (see the following section, Drawing
Sheet Assembly). Design Models contain graphic information in a model
file format. For example, it may contain the entire Architectural Floor Plan
model file for a building. It is this model file that is used as a reference for
creating individual sheet files. Adding annotation to the design model
should be avoided (annotation should be placed in the drawing model).
6
ERDC/ITL TR-12-6; Release 6.0
A Drawing Model is a 2D view/representation with annotation of a 3D
Design Model. Drawing Models include items such as plans, sections,
elevations, and details referenced to the Sheet Model.
2.2.1.2
Sheet files
A sheet file is synonymous with a plotted CAD drawing file. A sheet file is a
selected view or portion of referenced model file(s) within a 1:1 border
sheet. The addition of sheet-specific information (e.g., text, dimensions,
symbols) completes the construction of the document. In other words, a
sheet file is a ready-to-plot CAD file. A design model inside the sheet file
contains the model information assembled as it would be displayed on a
sheet. This model would have real-world spatial alignment and would be
used as the primary model for graphical information to be displayed and
presented in the sheet model.
A useful generalization for differentiating between model files and sheet
files is stated in Module 1 “Drawing Set Organization” of the Uniform
Drawing System (UDS) (NIBS 2014): “Model files are always referenced by
other files, while sheet files are never referenced by other files.”
A Sheet Model shows the presentation of model file graphics as they would
appear on an individual sheet. This assembly area would contain
referenced files, one of which would be the border sheet.
2.2.2 Border model files
Borders are model files referenced by all disciplines to create sheet files.
This model file contains border linework, the title block, and project-specific
symbols and text. Each discipline shall use the same border (for more
information on Borders, see the A/E/C Graphics Standard).
2.2.3 Reference files (XREF)
Reference files (external references or XREF) enable designers to share
drawing information electronically, eliminating the need to exchange
hard-copy drawings among the design disciplines.
With the use of reference files, the structural engineer need not wait for
the architect to complete the architectural floor plans before beginning the
structural framing plan model file.
7
ERDC/ITL TR-12-6; Release 6.0
Referencing electronic drawing information makes any changes later made
by the architect apparent to the structural designer. This real-time access
to the work of others ensures accuracy and consistency within a set of
drawings and helps promote concurrent design efforts. No longer does one
discipline have to wait until another discipline is nearly finished before
they begin their drawings.
Note: Never bind references.
Note: Each reference file shall have a unique, logical name/reference
describing what is being referenced (e.g., Floor 1 Plan, Site Plan – Area A).
2.2.4 Raster references
For interoperability, the only raster file types allowed to be referenced are
TIF, JPG, and PDF. Raster file names shall conform to the model file
naming convention with a model file type of “IG” (e.g., *C-IGXXXX.tif/jpg).
Raster File Types uses:
•
•
•
GeoReferenced TIF: best for aerial photographic imagery, maps, and
drawings where the image is referenced under line work to add more
clarity.
JPG: best for non-aerial photographic imagery used for depicting
existing conditions referenced to sheets.
PDF: best for drafted drawings used as background images.
Note: MrSID files are NOT to be directly referenced. The files are
extremely large and unwieldy to manage in a CAD/BIM/CIM
environment. It is recommended that the MrSID image be clipped,
resampled, and saved as a GeoReferenced TIF file. The smaller file size
allows the software to open faster and plot more effectively.
2.3
Drawing sheet assembly–Use of Design Model and Sheet Model
(1:1 border sheet)
The following method for drawing sheet assembly should be used. It
involves assembling individual model files and a border sheet model file to
create final plotted sheets.
8
ERDC/ITL TR-12-6; Release 6.0
Note: Borders shall not be placed in a Sheet Model as a cell or block. The
border shall be an individual, un-nested reference file in the Sheet Model.
This method consists of using a sheet file that contains a Design Model
and a Sheet Model. The Design/Drawing Model is used to assemble all the
individual reference files necessary to display the graphics. This may
include references to individual views of Design Models in other files, or
even coincident references. The Design Model should also contain realworld graphics such as northing and easting coordinate values of points.
The Sheet Model contains a reference to the project border sheet model
file (at 1:1), plus a reference to the Drawing Model in the active sheet file,
scaled to fit into the Sheet Model (Figure 2-1).
Figure 2-1. Sheet file composition using Design Model and Sheet Model.
Note: With Bentley software, when using Drawing Models, never
reference Drawing Models to Design Models, since resymbolization
problems occur.
2.4
Electronic drawing file naming conventions
Naming conventions for electronic drawing files (both model files and
sheet files) allow CAD users to determine the contents of a drawing
without actually displaying the file. They also provide a convenient and
clear structure for organizing drawing files within project directories.
2.4.1 Project code
The Model File naming convention and the Sheet File naming convention
both require a Project Code (1 to 20 characters) at the beginning of the file
name. The Project Code shall be identified at the start of each project to
9
ERDC/ITL TR-12-6; Release 6.0
ensure consistent file names within that project. Some examples of Project
Codes follow:
•
•
the official agency project number
the project number defined by the contract issuing agency CAD
manager for their record system.
The use of Project Codes in file names prevents the same file name from
existing in different directories.
When deciding on a standard file naming convention, the user should
consider the use of a special character such as an underscore (_) for all
reference/master files so that file sorting places like file types together.
When a project includes multiple sites or buildings, it is important to
identify each file with the appropriate feature. This should be done as a
part of the Project Code. For example, a model file for project P123,
building 2, could possibly use a Project Code of _P123-Bldg2.
2.4.2 Model file naming convention
The model file naming convention (Figure 2-2) has four mandatory fields.
All fields must be used and in the correct sequence.
Following the Project Code field, the first two-character field represents the
Discipline Designator. The allowable characters for the first character in the
Discipline Designator are listed in Table 2-1. The second character of the
Discipline Designator field is always a hyphen (-). The next two-character
field represents the Model File Type (Table 2-2). The final field is User
Definable, and all four characters shall be used.
Note: The NCS states that a Discipline Designator “denotes the category
of subject matter contained on the specified layer.” However, this
denotation leaves this type of Designator too open ended, resulting in
Discipline Designators that are usually subsets of other disciplines. For
example, Distributed Energy (which has the Discipline Designator “W” in
the NCS) is typically shown in disciplines such as Mechanical or
Electrical. To prevent the use of Discipline Designators where it is
unclear what should be included within the “category of subject matter,”
only the Discipline Designators shown in Table 2-1 shall be used.

Existing/Demolition plan
* = No Model File Table available in Appendix A
Example. The model file name for a project at the U.S. Army Engineer
Research and Development Center (ERDC), Building 8000, first floor,
Architectural Floor Plan could be
ERDC/ITL TR-12-6; Release 6.0
ERDC8000A-FPF1XX.dgn/dwg
where ERDC8000 is the Project Code, A- is the Discipline Designator, FP
is the Model File Type (Floor Plan), and F1 is a user-definable set of characters for Floor 1. Since not all of the user-definable characters were used,
the characters XX were used as placeholders.
Existing/Demolition model file naming. There are instances when a
facility is being renovated and the as-built designs need to be revised to
show demolition and new items. These revisions would not be made on
existing as-built model files but on copies to ensure the original as-builts
are not modified.
A model file type, Existing/Demolition (XD), has been added to the
standard to allow users to make revisions to as-built files. This model file
type is used to aid users in separating existing-to-remain items from items
that will be demolished.
Example. An architect has an existing as-built floor plan model file for
Building 1000, second floor. For the current project, walls will be
demolished and new walls constructed on the second floor. First, a copy
would be made of the original as-built file (B1000A-FPF2XX.dgn/dwg) ,
and the copy would be named B1000RENA-XDF2XX.dgn/dwg (B1000REN
is the Project Code, A- is the Discipline Designator, XD is the Model File
Type (Existing/Demolition Plan), and F2XX are user-definable characters
(F2=Floor 2)). The architect would open this file and move all demolition
items to demolition levels/layers (see Chapter 4, Status (phase)
levels/layers). When the new items in the Floor Plan are drawn, the
architect would open a new model file perhaps called B1000RENAFPF2XX.dgn/dwg (B1000REN is the Project Code, A- is the Discipline
Designator, FP is the Model File Type (Floor Plan), and F2XX are userdefinable characters (F2=Floor 2)). The fileB1000RENA-XDF2XX.dgn/dwg
would be referenced in with the demolition levels/layers turned off. The
architect would then use the Floor Plan active levels/layers to construct the
new items for that project.
2.4.3 Sheet file naming convention
The sheet file naming convention (Figure 2-3) also has four mandatory
fields. Similar to the format for model file naming, all fields must be used
and in the correct sequence.
17
ERDC/ITL TR-12-6; Release 6.0
18
Figure 2-3. Sheet file naming convention.
The first field is used for a 1- to 20-character Project Code (see section
2.4.1, “Project code”). The next two characters are the Discipline
Designator with either a hyphen or an alphabetical Designator (Table 2-3).
The next character is the Sheet Type Designator (Table 2-4) followed by a
two-character Sheet Sequence Number (01–99).
For example, the sheet file name for a project at ERDC, Building 8000,
Architectural Floor Plan, sheet sequence 02 could be
ERDC8000A-102.dgn/dwg
where ERDC8000 is the Project Code, A- is the Discipline Designator, 1 is
the Sheet Type Designator (Plan), and 02 is the Sheet Sequence Number.

Note: If the sheet sequence number goes above 99 sheets for a particular
discipline, the user might want to consider using alphabetical Designators
in the Discipline Designator to further subdivide the discipline (Table 2-3).
Note: In the NCS, user-defined “Level 2 Designators” in the Discipline
Designator are allowed “to differentiate among multiple buildings on a
‘campus’ or among multiple features on a large civil works project.” The
A/E/C CAD Standard limits the Discipline Designator field to strictly
those listed in Table 2-3 for sheets. The Project Code field in conjunction
with the title block “BLDG ID” field (see “Border Sheets” section in the
A/E/C Graphics Standard) in the file name preempts the need for this
functionality (e.g., PN123456_BLDG1_A-FPXXXX.dgn/dwg,
PN123456_BLDG2_A-FPXXXX.dgn/dwg).
Note: According to the NCS: “Sheet Sequence Numbers need not be
sequential, to permit future insertion of sheets during design.”
ERDC/ITL TR-12-6; Release 6.0
24
Note: Occasionally, more than one Sheet Type (e.g., plan, elevation,
detail) will be represented in one sheet file. If this is the case, the dominant Sheet Type determines the Sheet Type Designator.
2.4.4 Adding a drawing sheet
If a sheet needs to be added between two sequential sheets, a Supplemental
Drawing Designator may be appended to the end of a sheet file name
(Figure 2-4). For example, if two sheets need to be added between sheets
ERDC8000A-104 and ERDC8000A-105, then the sheet file names for the
inserted sheets would be ERDC8000A104A and ERDC8000A104B.
Figure 2-4. Supplemental drawing designator.
2.5
Coordination between sheet file name and sheet identifier
In assigning a sheet identifier (for use in the sheet identification block,
reference bubbles, etc.), the user should coordinate with the name
assigned to the electronic sheet file. The sheet identifier shall consist of the
discipline designator, sheet type designator, and the sheet sequence
number (Figure 2-5).
The sequence of the discipline designators in a drawing set shall follow the
order as shown in Table 2-3.

Graphic Concepts
3.1
Presentation graphics
The first step in establishing an effective CAD standard is the development
of a uniform approach to presentation graphics. Presentation graphics
typically consist of drawing elements such as lines, arcs, shapes, text, and
their attributes (line color, line width, line style). This chapter presents
brief overviews of the characteristics of presentation graphics and the
philosophy used to standardize them. For more definition, see the A/E/C
Graphics Standard.
3.1.1 Line widths
Although monowidth line work is not contractually improper, varied line
widths substantially improve readability. Most commercial CAD systems
provide an extensive variety of line widths. However, for the majority of
A/E/C drawings, the eight line widths defined in Table 3-1 are considered
sufficient and should not be expanded unless an appreciable improvement
in drawing clarity or contrast can be realized. Table 3-1 lists information
about the various allowed line widths.

27
Note: The NCS does offer an Extra Fine (0.13 mm) line width. However,
the legibility on printouts becomes more difficult when the line width goes
below the Fine (0.18 mm) line width. The NCS even states “Use of Extra
Fine line widths should be avoided if the drawing will be plotted half-size.”
3.1.2 Line types/styles
The predominant line types/styles used in this standard are shown in
Figure 3-1 and are available as line types/styles for AutoCAD and
MicroStation (with the exception of “Continuous”). Additional custom line
style files for MicroStation and AutoCAD are available on the Center’s web
site at https://cadbim.usace.army.mil/aeccadstandard.
Figure 3-1. Predominant line types/styles.
Note: For consistency and interoperability, use of the IGDS default
Bentley line styles 1-7 should be avoided.
3.1.3 Line color
The primary reason to use color in CAD drawings is to improve the clarity
of the drawing on a computer monitor. The variety of colors available in a
CAD application depends on the capabilities of the computer monitor and
its video card. Today, most systems are capable of displaying up to 16.8
million colors.
In a departure from previous releases of the A/E/C CAD Standard, colors
within the model file tables are not listed by their AutoCAD or MicroStation
color numbers, but instead by their red-green-blue (RGB) values. Using
RGB values instead of CAD package color numbers will allow for universal
ERDC/ITL TR-12-6; Release 6.0
28
representation of colors no matter which (CAD) software application is
being used. Table 3-2 lists the basic colors used predominantly throughout
the model files. Additionally, the level/layer color standard has been
redefined to reflect industry field marking color standards where applicable.

Note: For AutoCAD, use color "White" for all colors set to 255,255,255 to
enable white/black color switching based on background color.
3.1.4 Plotting
Printers and plotters are controlled by files called pen tables or feature
tables. These files (tables) convert thicknesses and/or color in an electronic file to line thicknesses on a paper drawing.
This manual standardizes presentation graphics as they relate to electronic
drawing files (screen display) and not the final printed or plotted paper
drawing. By employing pen tables, each agency can ensure that consistent
drawings are produced from an electronic file regardless of the type of
printer or plotter used. It is the responsibility of each field activity to
develop pen tables based on the printer/plotter used at that activity.
Note: For consistency/interoperability, it is recommended that plots first
be sent to a common format, such as PDF, before paper plotting.
3.1.5 Screening
Screened images are created through a process in which the density and
pattern of black and white dots are varied to simulate different shades of
ERDC/ITL TR-12-6; Release 6.0
29
gray (also known as dithering). Varying the intensity of gray scales allows
users to distinguish different aspects of a drawing when it is plotted. For
example, on a demolition plan the existing items not designated for
demolition can be assigned a color that has been assigned a screening
percentage. When plotted, those items will be shown at a lighter shade
compared with other items slated for demolition in the drawing. This will
allow the contractor to immediately identify the demolition items on the
drawing.
Table 3-3 lists colors recommended to be used for screening along with a
recommended screening percentage. Optionally, when variations in
screening are not important, a single screening can be applied to all
screened graphics.
Note: The AutoCAD vs. MicroStation color numbers have been combined
to avoid confusion when creating a screened effect in either software.

Text
Each of the two major CAD platforms contains sets of fonts that have been
designed for use in CAD drawing presentation. MicroStation has various
fonts stored in font resource files, with each resource file capable of
containing multiple fonts. AutoCAD has individual fonts as shape files. In
addition, each platform has the ability to support TrueType fonts that are
installed on the individual computer. Each application also has the ability
to create additional fonts for its use. Since projects designed in CAD are
planned for use many years into the future and files will be used by many
ERDC/ITL TR-12-6; Release 6.0
different individuals, use of any nonstandard font is not allowed. This
includes fonts for symbology, logos, business titles, etc.
There is not a direct relationship between MicroStation resource files and
AutoCAD shape files. Therefore, it is important that font use be reviewed at
the start of a project and decisions made on fonts that are then used
consistently throughout the project by all disciplines. Previous releases of
the A/E/C CAD Standard allowed the use of various AutoCAD, MicroStation, and TrueType fonts. To improve the direct translation of fonts
between applications, only the TrueType font allowed is Arial in the A/E/C
CAD Standard (for more information on text, see the A/E/C Graphics
Standard).

Level/Layer Assignments
4.1
Level/Layer naming convention
CAD levels or layers are analogous to overlays in manual drafting systems
and serve to separate graphic elements (lines, shapes, text) according to
the design discipline they represent (Figure 4-1).
Figure 4-1. Typical levels/layers contained in a sheet file.
The types of information represented by individual levels/layers can be
grouped into two primary types: model file-specific information and sheet
file-specific information (Figure 4-2). Sheet file-specific information can
then be broken down into two secondary types: design model-specific and
sheet model-specific.
31
ERDC/ITL TR-12-6; Release 6.0
Figure 4-2. Sheet- and model-specific information.
•
•
Model file-specific information represents the physical form of a site, a
building, or objects composing a building. This information is often
shared between CAD files (drawing model and sheet file) through the
use of reference files. Examples include walls, doors, light fixtures, and
room numbers. Model file-specific information may be either literal
(e.g., walls) or symbolic (e.g., electrical outlets).
Sheet file-specific information may include notes, annotative symbols,
and titles. This type of information is usually not shared between CAD
32
ERDC/ITL TR-12-6; Release 6.0
33
files or drawings. Drawing models inside a sheet file contain graphic
information that would relate to real-world information (e.g., point
coordinates) or information that would be sectioned off into multiple
sheets (e.g., a floor plan that may take three sheets to present because
of its size). Sheet model-specific information would include items
specific for the presentation of that sheet. This is one reason that sheet
models shall never be used as a reference file to other files.
To use and manipulate model file- and sheet file-specific information
effectively, every level/layer must be defined (standardized) by its name
and its use.
The reuse of graphic information reduces drawing time and improves
project coordination. The level/layer is the basic tool used in CAD for
managing graphic information (Figure 4-3). The levels/layers defined
within this standard are based on the recommendations set forth in “AIA
CAD Layer Guidelines” (NIBS 2014).
Figure 4-3. Level/layer naming format.
A basic level/layer name consists of a two-character Discipline Designator
(e.g., A- for Architectural, E- for Electrical), a four-character Major Group
(e.g., A-DOOR for Doors, E-LITE for Lighting), and a four-character
Minor Group (e.g., A-WALL-CNTR for wall center lines, E-LITE-CLNG for
ceiling lights). For further differentiation, another four-character Minor
Group may be used (e.g., A-WALL-FULL-EXTR for exterior full-height
walls versus A-WALL-FULL-INTR for interior full-height walls). An
optional item to indicate Status or Phase can also be added to every
level/layer name (see Status (Phase) levels/layers later in this chapter).

Model Files
4.2.1 Level/layer assignment tables
The level/layer assignment tables in Appendix A present the following
(Figure 4-4 presents an excerpt):
•
•
•
•
•
the levels/layers assigned to each model file
an AIA format level/layer name for each level/layer
a detailed description for each level/layer
the recommended presentation graphics associated with each
level/layer. This includes the line style, line width, and color. (Note: The
recommended presentation graphics may be changed to aid in drawing
clarity (e.g., to show hidden objects). However, the recommended
presentation graphics shall be adhered to as much as possible to
maintain drawing consistency.)
the various model files in which levels/layers can be created.
Figure 4-4. Model file level/layer assignment table.
4.2.2 General levels/layers
At the beginning of Appendix A is a list of levels/layers that are applicable
to all disciplines. These General levels/layers are available for use in any
model or sheet file. Prior to Release 6.0, these levels/layers were repeated
in each discipline’s model file level/layer assignment table with the
appropriate Discipline Designator (e.g., A-ANNO-****, C-ANNO-****).
Since these are considered General levels/layers, they shall always have
34
ERDC/ITL TR-12-6; Release 6.0
35
the Discipline Designator of G-, regardless of the discipline in which they
are used (e.g., G-ANNO-DIMS, G-ANNO-TEXT).
Status (Phase) levels/layers. In some cases, levels/layers may be
modified to show the status of a particular item in the drawing (e.g., to be
demolished, to be moved, future work). In these cases, levels/layers may
have a Status code appended to them as shown in Figure 4-3. See Table 4-1
for the Status (Phase) codes.

The use of the Status (Phase) code should be limited, since it can significantly increase the number of levels/layers in a model file. Most items
can be shown through referenced model files or changing the line style of
items. For instance, in a “New Work” model file, “Existing to Remain” items
can be shown through a screened reference file. “Not in Contract” items and
“Future Items” could be shown with a dashed line style. Therefore, it is up to
the user to determine whether the use of the Status (Phase) code in
level/layer names increases the readability of the model file.

Standard Symbology
5.1
Introduction
The symbology library contains four types of elements: Lines, Patterns,
Symbols, and Objects. The use of such symbology enhances CAD
productivity and provides an excellent opportunity for CAD standardization.
Previous releases of the A/E/C CAD Standard had the symbols limited to
six character (maximum) names, due to the limitations of the CAD software
at the time. Those naming limitations no longer exist. However, an additional problem with the symbols was that duplicate symbols existed over
multiple discipline symbol libraries. Updating symbols became a chore
because if changes were made to a symbol that existed in multiple libraries,
it was vital that the changes were implemented in all duplicate symbols as
well.
To solve this problem for Release 6.0, the A/E/C CAD Standard is
following the lead of the U.S. National CAD Standard and incorporating
Construction Specifications Institute’s MasterFormat® numbers into the
symbol names. This renaming of the symbols results in symbol libraries
where symbols exist only once and are no longer limited to a particular
discipline.
5.2
Symbology resources
5.2.1 Cells/Blocks
A cell in MicroStation and a block in AutoCAD are groups of graphical
elements that can be manipulated as a single entity. Examples of typical
cells/blocks are windows, doors, graphic scale keys, furniture, etc. Symbols
are defined as cells/blocks that are representative of objects (e.g., electrical
outlets, smoke detectors). Objects are defined as cells/blocks that are
placed at the actual size of the item they are representing no matter the
scale of the drawing (e.g., 30 in. by 50 in. desk, 3 ft-0 in. door). Within the
electronic deliverables available as part of the A/E/C CAD Standard, the
following symbology is provided:
•
MicroStation cells contained in cell libraries (.cel)
36
ERDC/ITL TR-12-6; Release 6.0
•
AutoCAD blocks contained in block libraries (.dwg files) with the
block’s name and description combined into a single name. The block
library only contains the definitions and not the graphics. Blocks are
best inserted by selecting them from Design Center.
5.2.2 Line styles
Lines are defined as a graphical representation of linear drawing features
(e.g., utility lines, fence lines, contours). Patterns are defined as repeated
drawing elements (e.g., lines, dots, circles) within a defined area. Line style
definitions determine the particular dash-dot sequence and relative length
of dashes, blank spaces, and the characteristics of any included text or
shapes. Working with line styles provides a means of distinguishing the
purpose of one line from another.
AutoCAD and MicroStation both provide a set of standard line styles, as
well as allowing the user to define custom line styles. In AutoCAD these
custom line styles are defined in a line type library file (.lin) and a
multiline library file (.mln). In MicroStation, custom line styles are
contained in resource files (.rsc).
5.3
Downloadable resources
Documentation and files of the entire symbology library are available for
download off the Center’s website at https://cadbim.usace.army.mil/aeccadstandard.

14. ABSTRACT
The A/E/C CAD Standard has been developed by the CAD/BIM Technology Center for Facilities, Infrastructure, and Environment to
eliminate redundant Computer-Aided Design (CAD) standardization efforts within the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Federal
Government. The manual is part of an initiative to develop a nonproprietary CAD standard that incorporates existing industry, national,
and international standards and to develop data standards that address the entire life cycle of facilities within the DoD.
The material addressed in the A/E/C CAD Standard include level/layer assignments, electronic file naming, and standard symbology.
The Center's primary goal is to develop a CAD standard that is generic enough to operate under various CAD software packages (such
as Bentley's MicroStation and Autodesk's AutoCAD) and incorporate existing industry standards when possible.
