APPENDIX A

CGA AUTOCAD STANDARDS

Coast Guard Academy CAD Drawing Standards

Updated: 31 APR 2016

United States Coast Guard requires delivery of CAD data to be in compliance with the National CAD Standard (NCS) published by the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS). The current version of the published standard can be obtained from the following web site:

http://www.buildingsmartalliance.org/ncs/

U.S. Coast Guard supports the use of the National Cad Standard. The U.S. Coast Guard Academy provides the following implementation guidelines for deliverables. Guidelines will address implementing the NCS in what is considered critical areas.

1. All drawing deliverables to the U.S. Coast Guard Academy are to be provided in AutoCAD .DWG format, compatible with the U.S. Coast Guard’s current version 2014 of AutoCAD.

2. File naming format: CAD files will be named and delivered using U.S. Coast Guard plan and project numbers provided by the U.S. Coast Guard Academy Facilities Engineering Division.

3. Template files: Template files will be provided by the U.S. Coast Guard Academy Facilities Engineering Division and contracted delivered CAD files will use only title blocks that are included in the USCG CAD template files. Title blocks include fields with attributes that are used for the U.S. Coast Guard drawing data base. Double clicking an attribute entry in field will allow editing of that field. Please DO NOT EXPLODE or ALTER the title block fields. Cover sheet may be modified to add contractor logos and seals.

4. General text shall be set to plot at a 0.125 inch text height when plotted at contract document intended scale.

5. All text should use the standard AutoCAD provided fonts, preferably ROMANS.

6. Line-weights shall be stored in the entity or layer definition (line, point, arc etc.) and not require the use of external files to achieve desired results. (Example AutoCAD drawings cannot use PLT or Plot style references on delivered sheet CAD files.)

7. Layer names should follow the AIA naming convention, see i.e., http://www.caddee.com/layerlist.html and as follows:

Layer Name Formatting As recommended by the 1997 AIA CAD Layer Guidelines, layer names may be as short as six characters (discipline code + major group) or as long as sixteen characters (discipline code + http://www.buildingsmartalliance.org/ncs/ http://www.caddee.com/layerlist.html

September 9, 2016 8 of 9 major group + minor group + status). Here are the four examples of acceptable formula variations, with explanations of formula variables found below:

# 1: A-WALL = discipline code + major group # 2: A-WALL-FULL = discipline code + major group + minor group # 3: A-WALL-DEMO = discipline code + major group + status code # 4: A-WALL-FULL-DEMO = discipline code + major group + minor group + status

Discipline Code:

The discipline code is a two-character field with the second character either a hyphen or a user-defined modifier. The predefined discipline codes are the same for both layer names and file names. For a complete list of discipline codes, see Naming Construction Drawings under File Name Conventions.

Major Group:

The major group designation is a four-character field that identifies the building system, such as doors, walls, windows, etc. Although most major groups are logically associated with specific discipline codes, it is possible to combine major group codes with any of the discipline codes.

For example, AWALL or I-WALL.

Minor Group:

This is an optional, four-character field for further differentiation of major groups. For example, partial height walls (A-WALL-PART) might be differentiated from full height walls (A-WALL- FULL). The following common modifiers defined by the AIA can also be used in the minor group field:

IDEN identification tags example: A-DOOR-IDEN PATT cross hatching, poche example: A-WALL-PATT If necessary, the minor group field may also be defined by the user, allowing additional layers to be added to accommodate special project requirements. However, this should only be done after checking the Master Layer List in the 1997 AIA CAD Layer Guidelines to see if any of the predefined layer names in that list would meet the special project requirements.

Status Field:

The status field is an optional four-character designator that differentiates new construction from remodeling and existing to remain. It is only needed when phases of work must be differentiated, and can be used in place of or in addition to a minor group designation, such as A-WALL- NEWW or AWALL-FULL-NEWW. In either case, the status field is always the last four-characters of the layer name. Defined values for this field as defined by the AIA are as follows:

NEWW new work EXST existing to remain DEMO existing to demolish FUTR future work TEMP temporary work MOVE items to be moved RELO relocated items NICN not in contract PHS1-9 phase numbers (1-9)

8. All sheets, details and viewports should include a graphic scale.

9. All external references must be bound to drawing before delivering to U.S. Coast Guard Academy.

10. All attached image files are to be provided with the AutoCAD drawings and named systematically; i.e., if the drawing number is CC-0102 and 2 images are used on sheet 12 of the drawing set, the image files would be named CC-0102-12-1.jpg and CC-0102-12-2.jpg

11. Avoid using Layer “0”, except in the creation of blocks, and “Defpoints’, which is created automatically with dimensions.

12. There is to be one drawing for each sheet of the drawing set.

13. On final submittal and as-built versions, PDF files are to also be provided for each sheet of the drawing set.
