# 1. GENERAL INFORMATION

## 1.1 Government Ownership Statement

All drawings and related files, including specifications, shop drawings,
renderings, photographs, and other materials generated by the contractor
for the project, shall be the property of the General Services
Administration upon their delivery to GSA, or at the termination of the
contract, whichever occurs first. This applies to content as well as
physical media. The government will not accept disclaimers nullifying
this requirement.

## 1.2 Validation Procedures

The Prime A/E is responsible for ensuring that all submissions by
sub-contractors meet the Deliverables Policy contained herein. The Prime
A/E, prior to the start of the design phase, shall transmit sample
electronic submittals to GSA to verify that their software, and that of
their subs, complies with the requirements herein.

## 1.3 Contacts / Resources

The A/E shall contact the project team with questions regarding the
Mid-Atlantic Region's CAD Deliverables Policy. If necessary, the project
team will contact the appropriate regional staff.

This document and the drawings referenced herein are available
electronically at: **http://www.gsa.gov/midatlanticcadpolicy**

# 2. SOFTWARE AND DELIVERABLE MEDIA

## 2.1 Physical Media

Files submitted to GSA shall not contain computer viruses. Scan all
media using current virus scanning software prior to submission.

All files shall be submitted on one of the following media:

> **[3 ½" high density 1.44 MB floppy disks:]{.underline}** Shall be
> formatted to be read by MS-DOS and Windows and may be compressed if
> readable by WinZip. No submission shall exceed ten floppy disks.
> Self-extracting files are acceptable provided they allow the user to
> specify the extraction location.
>
> **[CD-R:]{.underline}** May be 650MB or 700MB, but must be closed. CDs
> may not contain compressed (ZIP or EXE) files.
>
> **[CD-RW:]{.underline}** May be 650MB or 700MB. CDs may not contain
> compressed (ZIP or EXE) files. This media type may be disallowed in
> the contract if the project is run from a field office which cannot
> read it.
>
> **[email:]{.underline}** Shall be no more than 5 MB. May be compressed
> if readable by WinZip. Self-extracting files are acceptable provided
> they allow the user to specify the extraction location.

## 2.2 Drawings

All drawings shall be readable by AutoCAD Release 2002 for Windows, and
shall be DWG files, not DXF, DWF, etc. Being "readable" is constituted
by the ability to open a file without any errors, such as proxy errors,
font substitution errors, xref resolution errors, etc., and the objects,
layers, etc. in the file remaining in tact. No add-ons which create
non-native object types are accepted unless approved in writing by the
GSA or required in supplemental policies. This exclusion also applies to
special object types created by Express Tools. If ADT (Architectural
Desktop) or other add-on which adds non-native objects is used, the
non-native objects must be converted to native AutoCAD objects all
proxies must be removed. If printed drawings are submitted, they must
match prints produced by the electronic drawings.

## 2.3 Word Processor Documents

Word Processor documents shall be Microsoft Word 6, 7 (aka 95), 97, or
2000 format.

## 2.4 Spread Sheets

Spread sheet documents shall be Microsoft Excel 6, 7 (aka 95), 97, or
2000 format.

## 2.5 Graphics

Graphics may be submitted in any of the following formats:

**[TIF]{.underline}** - uncompressed, packbits, group III, group IV, or
LZW

**[GIF]{.underline}** - interlaced or noninterlaced

**[JPG]{.underline}** - standard only; no progressive; any compression
level

**[BMP]{.underline}**

Note: This is not to indicate that scanned drawings will be accepted in
lieu of AutoCAD files; this is intended for photos, conceptual sketches,
renderings, etc.

## 2.6 Schedules

Project Management Schedule documents shall be Microsoft Project 4.0,
4.1 (aka 95), 98, or 2000 format. Project files shall be saved with a
baseline.

## 2.7 Third Party Software

A written request must be submitted to GSA and permission granted by GSA
in order to submit electronic data in a format other than those
specifically named above, or any AutoCAD add-on application which leaves
non-native objects in the drawings. This also applies to
AutoCAD-integrated applications, such as Architectural Desktop. When it
is considered in the best interest of the Government, third party
software may be permitted by the Contracting Officer. All third party
software used which modifies or creates layers in AutoCAD shall adhere
to the layering requirements in this standard.

# 3. DRAWING SETUP

## 3.1 General

Drawing standards and symbology shall be in accordance with [AIA Graphic
Standards]{.underline}.

3 dimensional objects are permitted, but confine all objects to the Z=0
plane unless there is a specific reason for making 3 dimensional
drawings. 3 dimensional drawings can cause incorrect distance
measurements, due to the difference in elevation, which the person
measuring may not be aware of.

## 3.2 Accuracy

All CAD drawings shall be drafted using precision input employing the
most accurate source material available. For all drawing entities,
object snapping is required; all lines shall meet at intersections,
tangents intersect at a single point, blocks are inserted properly
without overlap, etc.

Contractors are responsible for the accuracy of all CAD drawings
delivered to GSA, regardless of the accuracy of CAD drawings of previous
projects furnished by GSA as a convenience to the contractor.

## 3.3 Drawing Sheet Sizes

All drawing sheets shall be submitted on sheets of one of the following
standard metric dimensions, as specified in [AIA Graphic
Standards]{.underline}:

  ----------- ----------------------------- -----------------------------
  **SIZE**    **HORIZONTAL DIMENSION**      **VERTICAL DIMENSION**

  A0          1190 mm                       840 mm

  A1          840 mm                        595 mm

  A2          595 mm                        420 mm

  A3          420 mm                        295 mm

  A4          280 mm                        216 mm
  ----------- ----------------------------- -----------------------------

## 3.4 Drawing Scales

Follow the GSA Metric Design Guide for all Design and Construction
drawings. Imperial units are required for assignment drawings. The basic
unit for metric drawings shall be millimeter. The basic unit for
Imperial drawings shall be inch.

The following drawings shall be drawn to full size (1:1); that is, all
drawing elements shall be drawn to the exact dimensions of the object
they represent. Paper space may be used, but it is not required unless
xrefs are used; see Section 4.1. Drawing objects in imperial units in
model space then scaling them to metric in a paper space viewport is
also not acceptable. If you are working from Imperial unit source CAD
documents, you must scale them to full size in metric if the
deliverables are required to be metric.

## 3.5 Title Blocks

The following is a description of how to use GSA Region 3 standard
titleblocks and layering system to set up your drawings. These
titleblocks are compliant with PBS 3490.1; each titleblock contains the
disclaimer for each page, and the cover page inserts contain the
disclaimer for cover pages.

**1. Set Up Template Titleblock**

-   First, open the appropriate size titleblock for your project *(below
    is a list of the titleblocks provided).* The titleblock has been
    blocked and inserted for you; the block name is \"**TITLEBLOCK**\".
    The titleblock contains attributed information for GSA use. Since
    the titleblock has already been inserted, you must use the
    **\"DDATTE\"** command to edit the attributed information. Note:
    H-A4.dwg does not contain a blocked titleblock; fill in the blanks
    with regular text.

-   Once you have changed the necessary information, save the titleblock
    drawing as a drawing template file (DWT) or DWG, if you are using
    AutoCAD r14 or later. Versions of AutoCAD prior to r14 dealt with
    templates differently, and they were referred to as prototypes.
    *(This will be used as a template for your project, saving you the
    time of reentering the same information for each new drawing in the
    same project).* You have now set up a template drawing for this
    project. This method saves the time it would take to fill in all
    project-level information on each sheet separately, as well as
    ensures consistency of spelling and nomenclature.

-   To start your project drawings using the template you have created,
    click **File**, **New**, **Use a Template**, and choose the
    titleblock drawing you created earlier, or if saved as a DWG, select
    **File**, **Open**.

-   Drawing specific attributed information *(such as drawing number,
    drawing title, etc.)* can now be entered by again using the
    **\"DDATTE\"** command. Fill in all known information. Layer
    drawings can be inserted to create the layers needed for the
    specific drawing *(see list below).* Save the drawing according the
    GSA file naming policy.

-   The titleblock may not be submitted exploded. The block name may not
    be changed. The titleblock may not be nested within another block or
    brought in as an xref. None of the attributes may be deleted or the
    tags renamed. The titleblock may not be moved to a different layer.
    The titleblock may be left in model space or moved to paper space.
    Each drawing file may contain no more than one block insert called
    titleblock. Drawings may not be placed side by side within the same
    file. There is no restriction on how the floors are named in the
    drawing title, but use the floor number codes in section 4.3 for the
    floor number attribute. If an attribute has no value, make it blank;
    do not leave the default value. Do not allow values to extend beyond
    the edge of the titleblock area.

**2. GSA PROVIDED TITLEBLOCKS**

The following is a list of the GSA provided titleblocks; each contains
blocked attribute information.

Each sheet file shall contain a sheet file titleblock.

H-A4 is 280mm x 216mm. This size may be used for the convenience of
printing a small drawing on a laser printer. The A/E shall use this size
only for the purpose of "information only" drawings, e.g. sketches. All
titleblock information must be completed. The A4 size may not be used
for official drawing submissions.

Each xref (model file) shall contain a model file information block. It
shall be frozen and reside in model space. Other titleblock files are
for sheet files.

**TITLEBLOCK OPTIONS**

> **[Sheet file titleblocks:]{.underline}**
>
> X-YYr####.DWG
>
> X: H indicates a horizontal titleblock; V indicates a vertical
> titleblock
>
> YY: indicates the size
>
> ####: indicates the release of AutoCAD
>
> **[Model file information blocks:]{.underline}**
>
> modelr14.dwg - for AutoCAD r14
>
> modelr2000.dwg - for AutoCAD r2000 and later

**3. INSERT ADDITIONAL LAYERS**

-   After the titleblock information has been edited, you may add AIA
    layers by inserting the appropriate LAYER drawings provided, or by
    creating them manually.

-   Layer drawing files have been provided for each of the disciplines
    which contain commonly used AIA 1997 layers.

**The following is a list of those layer drawings and a brief
description:**

LYR_ARCH.DWG Architectural drawing layers

LYR_ASSN.DWG Assignment drawing layers

LYR_CIVL.DWG Civil & Landscape drawing layers

LYR_FIRE.DWG Fire protection drawing layers

LYR_MECH.DWG Mechanical drawing layers

LYR_PLUM.DWG Plumbing drawing layers

LYR_STRU.DWG Structural drawing layers

LYR_T&E.DWG Telecommunications & Electrical layers

-   Once you have determined the discipline layers you require, just
    insert the appropriate layer drawing and this will load the
    corresponding layers.

*The above layer drawings contain commonly used AIA layers; if other
layers are needed, use the AIA CAD Layer Guidelines to create additional
layers. If you would like to include custom user-defined layers,
permission must be granted by GSA, and a list and description of such
layers must be submitted to GSA along with the drawing submission.*

**4. MULTIPLE DRAWINGS PER FILE**

-   Multiple drawings may occur in a single file, but only where they
    are drawn on top of one another in model space and viewports are
    used to display different layers to generate each drawing sheet in a
    different layout. Each drawing sheet shall be on a different layout.
    The titleblocks shall reside in paper space. Since each file may
    contain only one block named titleblock, it must be exploded or
    renamed on subsequent layouts. (The BURST command, included with
    Autodesk Express Tools, is the most convenient way to explode
    attributes to text.) Drawings laid next to each other in the same
    file are not acceptable. Use of script files to turn on and off
    layers is prohibited.

-   The drawing specific information in the titleblock such as file
    name, file date, drawing title, floor number and drawing number
    shall be entered according to the following priority:

1\. Assignment drawing

2\. Partition plan (if there is no assignment drawing)

3\. The first drawing in a sequence (if there is no assignment drawing
and/or partition plan or there are multiple assignment drawings or
partition plans).

**5. GSA PROVIDED COVER SHEETS**

The following is a list of the GSA provided cover sheet drawings.

> H-COVRr####.dwg Horizontal cover sheet drawing
>
> V-COVRr####.dwg Vertical cover sheet drawing
>
> where \#### indicates the release of AutoCAD

-   Once the project specific template titleblock drawing has been
    created, insert the appropriate horizontal or vertical coversheet
    drawing.

-   After the cover sheet has been inserted it may be necessary to scale
    the cover sheet to the size of the titleblock. When you scale the
    cover sheet you should use the **"REFERENCE**" function within the
    "**SCALE"** command to ensure that it fits properly.

*The cover sheet drawing may not be xrefed in.*

**6. CAD File Information**

A box on the titleblocks has been created for CAD File Information; it
is located next to, or below the KEY PLAN box. This box shall contain
the following if they apply:

> A. The names of any xrefs used in the drawing (including nested
> xrefs).
>
> B. A list of multiple-drawings per file if the drawing file contains
> more than one.

C. Any miscellaneous information necessary for GSA (drawing content
information shall not be listed here).

***Proceed with drafting.***

# 4. FILE NAMES AND STRUCTURES

## 4.1 Xref Assembly

Externally referenced files are not required, but may be used to produce
more efficient, smaller drawing files, and provide easier drawing
coordination. Xrefs may be required for special types of drawings, such
as assignment plans. Xrefs shall be submitted in the same file directory
as the sheet file(s) which reference them, and shall follow the 8.3 DOS
convention. Xref file names must not include a path or file directory.

If xrefs are used, they must be assembled in the following way:

Sheet file drawings are the "complete" drawings, which are plotted, as
opposed to model file drawings, which are xrefed into the sheet files.

Xrefs, (also called model files), contain the drawing content, (the
floor plans), drawn full size in model space. Include the model file
titleblock in the xref, as required in section 3.5. There may be one or
more model files for each sheet file. Model file(s) are xrefed into the
sheet file at full size, into model space. The objects are then scaled
through one (or more) paper space viewport(s), and seen in paper space
at the size they will have on the printed page. The sheet file
titleblock resides in paper space. The drawing can then be plotted from
paper space at a scale of 1 to 1, in the units the drawing was drawn in.
For example, if the drawing is in metric, it shall be plotted from paper
space at a scale of 1 drawing unit = 1 mm on paper, not 1 drawing unit =
1 inch on paper. (There may be a special type of assembly used for
assignment drawings, and additional requirements will be issued if that
formatting is required.) The following is an example:

![](media/image1.wmf)

## 4.2 Sheet File Drawing Numbers

All sheet file drawings shall be numbered using the following
convention: (Also, all files names must correspond to their respective
drawing numbers.)

+-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+
| \-                    | \-                    | \- -                  |

## 4.3 Model File Drawing Numbers

Xref file names are comprised of a one-character discipline code,
followed by a two-letter drawing type, followed by a two-character floor
code. A floor number code is not required if it is not applicable, as
with a detail drawing, for example. If a drawing shows multiple floors,
leave floor number blank.

## 4.4 File Names

All drawing file names shall correspond to their respective drawing
number. The file names of other file types, such as spreadsheets or
specifications, shall indicate the content of the file. All drawing file
names shall follow the 8.3 DOS convention; other formats may have long
file names. If the file contains more than one drawing, the 3 user
defined characters shall be MDF, (for Multiple Drawing File).
Supplemental CAD policies may require an alternate character instead of
the hyphen. No two files in the same submission set may have the same
name.

**[SHEET FILE NAMES:]{.underline}**

W-XYYZZZ.DWG W = Discipline Code

\- = Second character must be a hyphen\*

X = Sheet Type Code

YY = Drawing Sequence

ZZZ = User Defined Code (optional)

i.e. Submission Phase, Revision No.

\*Supplemental CAD policies may require an alternate character instead
of the hyphen.

[Examples:]{.underline}

G-002-90.DWG Cover sheet, 2^nd^ sheet, 90% submission

A-512-R1.DWG First revision of 12^th^ Architectural details drawing

**[MODEL FILE NAMES:]{.underline}**

W-XXYYZZ.DWG W = Discipline Code

\- = Second character must be a hyphen\*

XX = Drawing Type Code

YY = Floor Code

ZZ = User Defined Code (optional)

For example, A-FP01 would be the architectural, first floor plan. A
floor number code is not required if it is not applicable, as with a
detail drawing, for example.

\*Supplemental CAD policies may require an alternate character instead
of the hyphen.

# 5. DATA STRUCTURE

## 5.1 Layering

All drawing files shall be produced using the long form layering
conventions in the [1997 AIA CAD Layer Guidelines]{.underline} or the
[2001 AIA CAD Layer Guidelines]{.underline}. The 2001 Guide is part of
the U.S. National CAD Standard Version 2. The 2001 version is preferred,
but the 1997 version is acceptable. Specify which version was used in
the README file. In addition, layers "0" and "DEFPOINTS" are acceptable
since they are part of AutoCAD. Layers "G-ANNO-TTLB-TEXT",
"G-ANNO-TTLB-ATR1", "G-ANNO-TTLB-ATR2", and \"G-ANNO-TTLB-SYMB\" are
also acceptable as they are referenced in the titleblock. Do not use
major or minor groups in conjunction with disciplines under which they
are not listed. For example, **E-WALL** is not a valid layer name; use
**A-WALL**.

Since the AIA Layer Guidelines do not define any use for layer 0, do not
place any objects on layer 0, unless required to do so by a supplemental
policy document. Layer 0 is a special layer which can be used to draw
blocks on, if they are to inherit the properties of the layer which they
are inserted on; but it is not required that blocks be drawn on layer 0.
(The "DEFPOINTS" layer is automatically created by AutoCAD when
dimensioning is used.)

For all drawing entities, COLOR, LINETYPE, and LINEWEIGHT shall be
BYLAYER; COLOR, LINETYPE, and LINEWEIGHT shall be assigned to each
layer.

## 5.2 Linetypes

Use AutoCAD standard linetypes. If other linetypes are needed, obtain
permission from GSA, include the linetype definition files with the
submission, and document this in the README.DOC.

## 5.3 Blocks

Block insertion points shall be located on the block at an intersection,
end point, or mid point, or, for circles, at the center or a quadrant.
Nested blocks are blocks that contain one or more blocks. It is
preferred that nested blocks not be used, but if deemed necessary, they
shall be documented in the README.DOC file. Nested xrefs are permitted.

## 5.4 Hatching

Hatching patterns shall be used sparingly so as to minimize file size.
When used, hatching patterns shall be on their own layer(s) and shall be
appropriately named: i.e. \* - \*\*\*\* - PATT. User-defined hatch
patterns shall not be used.

## 5.5 Object Linking and Embedding (OLE)

Linked and embedded files shall be submitted in the same file directory
as the drawing(s) to which they are linked or in which they are
embedded.

## 5.6 AutoCAD Fonts

Drawings shall contain .SHX or .TTF (True Type Fonts) fonts only.
Plotted text must be legible at one-half the scale of the original
drawing scale. If fonts other than those listed below are to be used,
permission must be granted by GSA and the font file must be included
with the submission.

## 5.7 Fonts for Other Software

Other types of documents shall contain only the .TTF (True Type) fonts
listed above. In addition, Monotype Grotesque 1 (aka Grotesque MT - the
official GSA font) may be used.

## 5.8 Plotting Parameters

Submitted hard copies are not required to be plotted from AutoCAD, but
the electronic drawings are required to be able to accurately reproduce
those hard copies when plotted from AutoCAD using ADI drivers and the
following settings.

For your convenience, PCP and CTB files containing the standard pen
tables are provided by GSA.

They are:

  ---------------------------- ------------------------------------------
  **standard r14 b&w.pcp**     for plotting b&w r14 drawings in r14

  **standard r14 color.pcp**   for plotting color r14 drawings in r14

  **standard r14 b&&w.ctb**    for plotting b&w r14 drawings in r2000

  **standard r14 color.ctb**   for plotting color r14 drawings in r2000

  **standard r2000 b&&w.ctb**  for plotting b&w r2000 drawings in r2000

  **standard r2000 color.ctb** for plotting color r2000 drawings in r2000
  ---------------------------- ------------------------------------------

(the "&&" will appear as "&" in the pop list)

If any drawings are to be plotted in color, note this in the README
file.

**[A. R2000 and later]{.underline}**

Lineweights for R2000 and later shall be assigned to layers. Any
lineweight and any color may be assigned to any layer, unless prescribed
by a supplemental standard. All drawing object colors, linetypes, and
lineweights shall be set to BYLAYER.

When plotting black and white drawings, set all plot colors to 7 in the
style table. For color drawings, set the plot color to "use object
color".

Set plot style table settings as follows:

+----------------------------+-----------------------------------------+
| **Style Table Parameter**  | **Setting**                             |
+----------------------------+-----------------------------------------+

**[B. R14 and earlier]{.underline}**

The GSA Standard Pen Assignments shall be used to define lineweight for
r14 and pre-r14 drawings. The pen table also defines colors in the case
of color plotting. If black and white plotting is used, all plot colors
shall be set to 7. This will ensure consistency of all prints generated
by a drawing file. Pen Line Type shall be set to Continuous for all
colors. Generate various line types through assignment of the layers'
line type property.

The six standard line thicknesses are as follows:

  ----------------------- ----------------------- -----------------------
  **Line Thickness**      **Millimeters**         **Inches**

  Thin                    0.18                    0.007

  Medium                  0.25                    0.010

  Medium Thick            0.35                    0.014

  Thick                   0.50                    0.020

  Extra Thick             0.70                    0.028

# 6. PROJECT AND DRAWING DOCUMENTATION

## 6.1 General

With every submission, the A/E shall include a README.DOC, and shall be
a Word document. Label media with the project title, project number,
submission stage, submission date, and any other pertinent information.

## 6.2 README.DOC File

The README.DOC file MUST include the following documentation:

-   Project Documentation and Drawing Audit Form

-   Description of user-defined code in drawing file names

-   Inventory list of all sheet drawing file names, their xrefs, their
    description, what scale they are to be plotted at, and whether they
    should be plotted from paper or model space. If this is the same for
    all, it only needs to be stated once. Note any drawings which are to
    be plotted in color.

Any deviations from this policy must be approved by GSA and documented
in the README file.

Other documentation that must be included (if applicable) in the
README.DOC file include:

-   List of user-defined layers

-   List of user-defined linetypes

-   List any nonstandard fonts

-   Any third party software used to create the files

## 6.3 Project Documentation and Drawing Audit Form

This form is in Appendix A of this document. The A/E shall complete this
form and include it in the README.DOC file with each submission. The A/E
shall verify that all drawing files in the submittal package meet the
requirements in the "Drawing Audit Checklist". At the Contracting
Officer's discretion, a submission containing one or more drawing files
that do not meet the standard may be rejected.

## 6.4 Other Project and Drawing Reference Files

Other reference files include all non-DWG files that the A/E is
including with the submission. Such files might include:

-   Specifications

-   Cost Estimates

-   Project Schedules

-   Photographs

Note: Specifications must be the most recent version of AIA Master Specs
at the time of contract award.

###### DRAWING AUDIT CHECKLIST

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  ü   Item
  --- -------------------------------------------------------------------
      AUDIT the drawing to ensure it is error-free

      PURGE drawing of unused blocks, layers, linetypes, etc. (except for
      special layers which may be required for assignment drawings in
      supplemental CAD policies)

      Select all objects and ensure COLOR, LINETYPE, and LINEWEIGHT
      (r2000) are set to BYLAYER

      ZOOM drawing to EXTENTS and save drawing in the space from which it
      is to be plotted.

      Delete any extraneous objects outside the titleblock unless they
      are there to position the titleblock on the paper.

      Do not leave any unused layout tabs, except one is allowed if using
      none, since AutoCAD will not allow 0 layouts.

      GRIDMODE is set to 0

      SNAPMODE is set to 0

      PDMODE is set to 0

      PDSIZE is set to 0

      QTEXTMODE is set to 0

      ATTMODE is set to 1

      For metric drawings, set LUNITS to 2. For Imperial drawings, set
      LUNITS to 4.

      ISAVEPERCENT is set to 0 (system variable; one time only)
