1. INTRODUCTION

Through the years CADD technology has expanded and grown into a multi-
faceted way to store and communicate information. This CADD manual has
been compiled to provide consistent & standard criteria by which all CADD
drawings shall be constructed for Texas Tech University Physical Plant
Engineering Services (TTUES).

2. CADD SYSTEM

TTUES currently operates in the Autodesk 2005 family of products. This

family includes, but is not limited to, AutoCAD, ADT, LDT, Map as well as
several others. All drawings submitted to TTUES shall be of a compatible
format.

3. DRAWING PLANNING & SETUP

Drawing Setup
The typical TTUES working drawing shall be setup to take advantage of
Paper Space/Model Space. Paper Space shall include the title block and
all of the information associated with it. All “sheet specific” information
shall be contained in Paper Space as well. Model Space shall contain
the objects necessary to convey the design intent. All objects in Model
Space shall be drawn at full scale (1:1) and be located at an origin of
0,0,0 unless an accurate survey of the site has been completed. (The
lower left hand corner of a building or site shall be at 0,0,0)

A set of templates (*.dwt) have been established to facilitate in the set

up of drawings that are to be done by/for TTUES. These templates
should be utilized in the creation of all drawings by/for TTUES.

The standard sheet size for projects done by/for TTUES is either
34”x22” or 17”x11”.

Drawing Template
Standard drawing template files have been created according to the
standards that are outlined in this manual. These templates are
designed to aid in the creation of a standard product. These templates
shall be used by everyone internal to TTUES as well as all AE firms
working on projects for TTUES.

Special Dimensioning Note

The dimension style in the drawing template is set up to utilize paper
space units for scaling purposes. This allows all of the drawings
dimension text to print the same height. In order to effectively
utilize the dimension style set up in the drawing template you
must dimension in mspace through the layout tab’s ‘mview’

2
 TTU Physical Plant Engineering Services CADD Manual 2/25/2011

window. The result of dimensioning in the model tab is indiscernible

text regardless of the scale of the ‘mview’ window.

File Naming Principles

Each file shall contain a whole project (i.e. architectural, mechanical &
electrical sheets). Accordingly files shall be named to fit the following
pattern. First, the discipline code followed by a hyphen, next the sheet
sequence identifier followed by an optional user-definable, four-
character code. The following illustration shows the pattern.

Discipline Code
Job Number (five digits)
User Definable (customizable)

A - 0 1 0 1 1 4. TEXT

All general text on TTUES drawings shall be plotted at a height of 1/16” and
be font style RomanS.shx. The only exception to this is the title block, cover
and user inserted standard blocks.

5. LAYERS

The AIA/NIBS National CADD Standard layer names are organized as a

hierarchy. This arrangement allows expansion and addition of user-defined
extensions to the layer list. Layer names are alphanumeric and use
abbreviations that are readily identifiable.

Layers shall be named in a fourteen-character system with the first two

characters denoting discipline code; the next four characters denoting the
major group followed by a hyphen; the following four characters denoting the
minor group followed by a hyphen; the final four characters denoting status.
Discipline Code

Major Group
Minor Group
Status (optional)

A - W A L L - F U L L - P H S 3

Discipline Code

3
 TTU Physical Plant Engineering Services CADD Manual 2/25/2011

The discipline code is a two-character field with the second character

being a hyphen. The defined discipline codes are as follows:

A Architectural
C Civil
E Electrical
F Fire Protection
G General
H Hazardous Material
I Interiors
L Landscape
M Mechanical
P Plumbing
Q Equipment
R Resource
S Structural
T Telecommunications
X Other Disciplines
Z Contractor/shop drawings

Major Group
The major group designation identifies the building system. Although
the major groups are grouped logically with specific codes, it is
possible to combine major group codes with any of the discipline
codes. For example, a drawing might contain the following layers:

A-WALL Architectural Walls

S-WALL Structural Walls

Minor Group
This is a four-character field for further differentiation of major groups.
For example, A-WALL-PRHT indicates architectural, new, wall, partial
height.

Status Field
The status field is a four-character field designator that differentiates
new construction from remodeling and existing to remain. It is only
needed when phases of work must be differentiated. A-WALL-PRHT-
DEMO indicates architectural, wall, partial height that is to be demolished. Defined values
for this field are as follows:

EXST Existing to remain

DEMO Existing to be demolished

FUTR Future work

TEMP Temporary Work
MOVE Items to be moved
RELO Relocated Items
NICN Not in contract

Annotation
Annotation comprises text, dimensions, sheet borders, detail
references, and other elements on CADD drawings that don’t represent
physical aspects of a building. Annotation is designated as follows:

*-ANNO-DIMS Dimensions
*-ANNO-KEYS Keynotes
*-ANNO-LEGN Legends and symbols
*-ANNO-NOTE Notes
*-ANNO-NPLT Construction lines, non-plotting information
*-ANNO-REDL Redline
*-ANNO-REVS Revisions
*-ANNO-SYMB Symbols
*-ANNO-TEXT Text
*-ANNO-TTLB Borders and title blocks

(Note: “*“ represents a discipline code)

User-Definable Fields
The minor group field can be defined by the user to meet their specific
needs. This should only be done if a defined layer does not apply.

Master Layer List

Users may add “user defined” layers in situations where a layer does
not exist in this standard to accommodate the need or the layer
needed is project specific. These “user defined” layers must follow the
conventions set forth by the aforementioned layer guidelines. This
Master Layer List in by no means all-inclusive but shows the most
commonly used layer names. The Master Layer List is located in
Appendix – B of this manual.

6. PLOTTING

• Each layout tab should represent one, and only one, plotted drawing
• A sheet should always be plotted at full scale (1=1) from paper space.
• The origin of the sheet should be located at the lower left, outside
corner of the sheet border, not the title block border.
• All layouts need to be plotted using “extents”.

5
 TTU Physical Plant Engineering Services CADD Manual 2/25/2011

• A sheet should not contain any information placed outside the title
block border, with the exception of the plot stamp block

Please note that a guide to pen assignment/line weight and colors can
be found in APPENDIX A.

7. PEN SETTINGS

A standard CTB file has been established for use with all drawings
by/for TTUES. This file is called “TTUES”.

8. LINETYPES

Standard linetype formatting shall be adhered to. An example of the

standard TTUES linetypes is located in APPENDIX A. The variable
“LTSCALE” shall be set to one-half (1/2) of the dimscale. The variable
“PSLTSCALE” shall be set to one (1).

9. XREF

All drawings by/for TTUES shall utilize xrefs. Xrefs shall include, but is
not limited to, titleblocks and floorplans. Xrefs shall be located in the
same directory/folder as the drawing files that they are referenced
into. This eliminates the need for saving full path. The following
diagram illustrates a typical xref scenario:

The variable “VISRETAIN” shall be set to one (1). This allows for layer
manipulation in the drawings themselves instead of relying on the xref
layer control.

6

10. ABBREVIATIONS

A list of approved abbreviations has been established for use on all

drawings by/for TTUES. These approved abbreviations can be located
in APPENDIX C of this manual. Periods shall not be used unless the
abbreviation can be confused with a whole word. For example if one
was to abbreviate Number as No it would require a period to avoid
possible confusion.

11. DRAWING COURTESY

The following list is an example of things that should be done in every

drawing before exiting it and/or submitting it for review.
1. Save the file in the fist layout if multiple layouts are used.
2. Make certain that ONLY the layers that are needed for plotting
are left on.
3. Ensure that the layout is zoomed to extents and that there are
no extraneous objects outside of the titleblock area.
4. Purge the drawing files to ensure that it is as compact and clean
as possible.
5. Set all attribute pulldowns to “by layer”

APPENDIX A –
GRAPHICAL STANDARDS
All graphical features of a PPES working drawing shall adhere to the
aesthetic examples given in APPENDIX A of this manual. All graphical
representations in APPENDIX A can be found in digital format in the
U:\STNDRD directory. The AutoCAD “DesignCenter” may be used in
order to insert these features. All annotation objects (i.e. plan
identifiers, detail/elevation marks etc.) are scaled according to the
standards contained in Appendix A so that they need only be inserted
and text edited.
