FDCC Adept File Naming

Overview

FDCC and other Coast Guard Civil Engineering Units use a file management and electronic file data base system, known as “Adept”. This system will provide many benefits to each unit and the U.S.

Coast Guard as a whole, with regard to management and access to facilities electronic documents.

This Guide is intended to provide a standard system for naming of the different types of electronic files related to facility engineering for Adept.

General

Electronic document names must be unique in order to keep Adept data properly identified. To achieve this, several things will be done. First each project is assigned unique Shore Facility Requirement List (SFRL) project number). And thirdly, unique codes and numbers will be included for each electronic file.

I AUTOCAD DRAWINGS:

A. “Sheet” File Names

The first group of numbers will be the USCG Project Number. The next characters shall be the Discipline Sheet Number (which shall consist of the Discipline Designator and Discipline Amplifier (Optional)) ,followed by Sheet Type Designator) and Sheet Type sequence number.

Example:

4138942CU201.dwg

4138942 = Project Number assigned by USCG C = Discipline Designator (see Sheet Number below) U = Discipline Amplifier (Optional)

2 = Sheet Type Designator (see Sheet Type below) 0 = Facility Designator (see Sheet Number below)

1 = Sheet Type sequence number (Consecutive Number)

.dwg = default AutoCAD file Extension

Discipline Sheet Numbering System

Each drawing SHEET shall be number using a Discipline Designator, Sheet Type Designator, Facility Designator and Sheet Type sequential numbers. XREF dwg files will be bound within the as-built sheet file.

Example: CU201

C = Discipline Designator U = Discipline Amplifier (Optional) 2 = Sheet Type Designator (See description below) 0 = Facility Designator (See description below)

1 = Sheet Type sequential number (Consecutive beginning with 1)

Discipline Designators:

G – General H - Hazardous Materials C - Civil L – Landscape

Appendix C Page 3 of 4

S – Structural A – Architectural I – Interiors Q – Equipment F - Fire Protection P – Pluming M - Mechanical E - Electrical T – Telecommunications R - Resource LS-Life Safety FA – Fire Alarm

Discipline Amplifier (Optional):

U-Utility G-Grading D-Demolition E-Erosion S-(civil&struc.) W-?

A-Attenuator H-hazmat seawall? C-Crane T-Temporary F-Float

Sheet Type Designators:

0 – General (symbols, legends) 4 – Large Scale Plans 8 - User Defined 1 – Plans 5 – Details 9 – 3D View (isometrics, photos) 2 – Elevations 6 – Schedules & Diagrams 3 – Sections 7 – Control Sequences

Facility Designator:

0 – General 1 – Hazmat/Mat 2 – Armory 3 – Warehouse 4 - Float

B. XREF File Names (fIles which cannot be bound to a drawing)

Files which cannot be bound that are xref’d on a drawing (e.g. jpg, tiff) will be handled as follows:

Example:

4138942CU201A.dwg

4138942CU201 = Sheet File Name (where the file is xref’d) A = Consecutive Alphabet letter for each xref.

II. SPECIFICATIONS AND RELATED TEXT DOCUMENTS

Construction specification, permits, O&M manual or other text document file shall begin with the USCG Project Number. The next characters are the letter “SP” for Specifications. The next characters shall be the specification section number.

4138942SP01158.doc

4138942 = Project Number assigned by USCG SP = Indicates Specifications

01158 = Specification Section number .doc, pdf = .doc or .pdf document file extension

Photo and Graphic Files

The first group of numbers will be the USCG Project Number. The next characters are the letter “GR” for graphics. The next three characters shall be consecutive beginning with 001 (one number for each graphic file).

Appendix C Page 4 of 4

4138942GR001.doc

4138942 = Project Number assigned by USCG GR = Indicates graphic

001 = Consecutive number .jpg = graphic file extension (or .bmp, .gif, .wmf, etc.)

Other Documents

The first group of numbers will be the USCG Project. The next three characters shall be consecutive beginning with 001 (one number for each file).

4138942xx001.xxx

4138942 = Project or OpFac Number assigned by USCG

001 = Consecutive number or other distinguishing factor

.xxx = applicable file extension
