What I mean by that is that we tend to put "Drawing standards", "Quality standards" and "CAD standards" together too often and in many ways they are different. Drawing standards = The look of the final product when it goes out the door. Is the product a professional architectural piece worthy of the KMB title block? Quality Standards = Is all the information correct? Can project be built/constructed well from these documents? (This includes accuracy.) CAD Standards = The method by which the drawings are produced. This will cost us extra money/grief/man hours if not done correctly the first time? That being said: Quality Standards are the #1 priority and should always come first. Drawing Standards is the #2 priority as it's a direct reflection on our company and the image it projects to the public. High quality drawings often bring back more business (since accuracy of Quality Standards is expected). CAD Standards is the #3 priority as it's an internal function... but it still can be very important when it comes to extra money/grief/man hours. BUT it's the least likely of the three to come back and affect you and it's the only one you can handle internally. Quality and Drawing Standards effect clients (or management, production, etc) in the outside world and can directly effect the revenue stream coming into the organization. No matter how good our marketing department is, if our product is bad, then its bad. Word will get out and affect our bottom line. But internal CAD standards can be enforced on a "company" level and proven with production benefits. If the bottom line looks bad because of this then we can make internal changes to ease the problem. On the other hand, almost nothing makes a client happy that's been burned by a bad product. That's why we should focus on the original question which was "What is CAD Standards?" which is really much different from the question of accuracy. You can be accurate without following CAD Standards (but not following CAD standards could effect accuracy down the line and force further revisions... and cost.. then again, it might not depending on the product and which CAD Standards are broken). The purpose of this manual is to ensure a consistent quality of printed Drawings and to act as a guide for new members of staff and outside consultants. It is important to have consistency not only with printed Drawings but also within CAD files. Deadlines require a spirit of teamwork and for members of the team to frequently work on several CAD files simultaneously. CAD users within the Dept. will have learned many different approaches to producing a CAD file: a common discipline therefore is required to enable different members of the Dept. to contribute to the same CAD file. CAD and the use of PCs generally within the Construction Industry is a relatively recent discipline and continues to evolve as Hardware and Software improves and as CAD users discover new efficiencies within each Software package. This Manual therefore will be subject to frequent revision.

The CAD Manager shall be responsible for any follow-on issues. The CAD Manager shall be responsible for developing any custom tools or templates for use in AutoCAD that will assist in the compliance with the Standard. These custom tools and templates will be developed, distributed, updated and maintained by the CAD Manager. The development and use of the CAD Standard and any tools or templates is not seen as an end all in itself. The goal is to enhance productivity and share work among users and projects. To this end the process will never be completed. The CAD manager shall continue to develop and enhance the use of the CAD tools that we use every day.

See the Sheet Set Manager section for more information on the use, and organization of CAD files. See your CAD Manager with further questions. All drawings will be purged upon drawing completion. It is recommended that the drawings be zoomed to extents and left in paper space upon closing the file. This decreases questions that may arise when the drawing file is opened by another user. All annotation & dimensioning will be done in the paper space layout in the drawing containing the given view. There will be times where annotation or dimensioning will need to be done on a given drawing and For more information regarding certain of all detail the use there of, see your CAD not in the actual view. Thus is the casesoftware and drawings, explained later. Manager. All title blocks, viewports and title block text will be done in layout (or paper) space. Each layout within a drawing will be named according to the drawing name, not the default sheets or layout, etc. This is to aid with batch plotting, discussed later. All Viewports will be locked to prevent any accidental tampering with the intended plotted scale. Any entities within the CAD file MUST be on their respective layer. Under no means will text be placed on a layer other than one designated as an annotation layer, wall lines be placed on a layer other than one designated as a wall layer and so on, following the layer naming conventions explained below. These entities are to have their color and line type set to bylayer wherever possible. This is to aid in creating an easy understanding of the CAD file by fellow CAD Dept. workers as well as consultants outside of the firm. All Plan views shall use letter designations (i.e. A/Floor Plan, etc). All Partial Plan views shall use number designations (i.e. 1/Partial Floor Plan, etc). All Building Section views shall use letter designations (i.e. A/Building Section, etc). All Wall Section views shall use number designations (i.e. 1/Wall Section, etc). All Detail views shall use number designations (i.e. 1/Typical Footing, 2/Typical Exterior Door Head, etc). Spreadsheet data will be inserted using either the Paste Special option within AutoCAD or Spanner. Either of these methods is largely intuitive. See your CAD Manger with any questions regarding this procedure.

Dynamic Block Notes:KMB has developed an extensive dynamic block library to assure drawing consistency from one project to the next. These blocks contain many features within each block, and when properly used will assist the CAD Operator in maintaining CAD Standards compliance. When inserted correctly these blocks will plot at the correct size, be the correct plotted line weight & be on the correct layer with the correct layer name. These blocks will be inserted into the drawing in model space, and scaled to the correct size of the intended drawing scale. Each block contains fully functioning attributes for each piece of editable text. Under no circumstances will these blocks be edited by the CAD Operator unless given direct permission by the CAD Manager. Under no circumstances will these blocks be exploded. Several of these dynamic blocks have been created to use the full functionality of the Sheet Set Manager. These special dynamic blocks contain fields that reference certain data within the Sheet Set file and will automatically update changed references or drawing names when done correctly. It is the CAD Operators responsibility to understand the functions of each dynamic block and the intended use of each. See your CAD Manager with any questions about the proper use and functionality of all dynamic blocks within the KMB Block Library. Under no circumstances is the CAD Operator to edit the blocks contained within the KMB Block Library files without direct consent of his/her CAD Manager. See images below for some of the blocks and their functionality.

CAD FILE TYPES:There are several different types of files used to generate Construction Document output from AutoCAD. These files, when used properly, will expedite the creation and modification of all drawings in the set. NOTE: Once the file folders have been created and files generated, the CAD files DO NOT move. The yare not moved to new folders when there is a change in project phase from SD, DD, CD or As-Built. When you move from one phase of a project to the next you ARCHIVE a copy of the files and folders under the Issue folder.

5.1. XREF (Background) Files:XREF files are the basis for all design work. They include the model representation of all construction elements in a project, including plan, elevation and section information that delineates what will be built. The general rule is that anything you see at the site after construction will be placed in this type of drawing. All XREF files are drawn full scale in Model Space. No Paper Space elements shall exist in this file. XREF files will be directly referenced to Sheet files. XREF files shall be located in the correct subfolder, plans in the Plans folder, Details in the Details folder, Sections in the Section folder and so on.

5.2. Border Files (Title Blocks):The Border File is drawn full size in Model Space. This drawing is the KMB Drawing Border or Title Block, it contains all of the project and client information displayed along the edge of each drawing. The Border File is Xrefed into Paper Space on the individual Sheet Files at a base point of 0,0.

5.3. Sheet Files:The Sheet File shall be used to generate plots, one per Sheet File. Each Sheet File will represent only one contract drawing. There will be NO multiple generations of plots from one Sheet File. Sheet Files will reference XREF Files as well as Border Files. Each dynamic block contains differing functionality features depending upon the block. It is the CAD Operators 5.4. Image Files: responsibility to understand and use these blocks. See your CAD Manager with any questions. The CAD files containing the KMB Dynamic Blocks, Regular Blocks & Sheet Set Dynamic Blocks are located on the file server Image /Resources/KMB/CadStandards/. Under no circumstances are theseImages be altered in any way. or under Files are raster images generated to attach to CAD files for display. files to may be digital photos The other items updated as key maps, job photos, these blocks are placed into revised & folder and KMB recommends files will be needed by the CAD Manager as etc. images continue to be a Photos modified.

KMB design groups, inc. p.s.828 -7th Avenue S.E. Olympia, Washington 98501 8. SHEET SET MANAGER:This section will attempt to explain the intended use of the AutoCAD Sheet Set Manager. The Sheet Set file will be named according to the project name and saved in the project current drawings folder. Thus the Sheet Set file for a project named KMB-Remodel would be named KMBRemodel.dst. The files in the sheet list will be named according to the sheet name of the drawing, with the sheet number used in the number entry, following the KMB File Name / Sheet Name system discussed below. Details will be drawn in model space with all annotation done in model space using a text style or dimension style scaled for the intended plot scale of the final drawing. The KMB Master Template.dwg file has been set up with these text & dimension styles already in it. All sheet views will be named according to the drawing name. Plan views will not contain annotation in the x-ref. All annotation for plan sheets will be done in paper space. This will allow the same x-ref to be used for separate sheets at varied scales without having annotation scaling issues.

The image to the right shows a detail being drug to the sheet. If your SS properties were done correctly, this will create an xref of the detail in your new sheet, create a viewport for you (viewport scale can be set by right-clicking before placing it on the sheet & picking the scale from the list) and place a view label block using the KMB Standards block. The name and number of the drawing will need to be set using the Rename & Renumber method discussed above by right-clicking on the name of the view from the SSM Sheet Views tab. It is the CAD Techs responsibility to assure the viewport and drawing title are on the correct layer (cad model viewports & a-anno-title, respectively), this is not something the SSM will do for you. See the Dynamic Blocks section of this manual for any questions about their usage or functions.

Thus the layout for drawing sheet A2.1 will be named A2.1. This aids in the Batch Plotting feature discussed below. 0.040 Each drawing will have a Page Setup prepared using the intended plot settings. The purpose of this is to introduce the Batch Plotting feature within AutoCAD found in the Publish command. This will give the 3 CAD team member the capability to not only plot several drawings at once, but also plot multi-sheet .DWF Green files and multi-sheet .PDF files as well. For information on how to accomplish this, see your CAD Manager or 0.030 the AutoCAD manual. KMB prefers the page setup utilize the Display Plot Styles option. This is to assure a uniform look to each 4 CAD file when opened by any team member. Cyan Whenever possible, the plot settings will be saved under the page setup name within the plot window, 0.012 using a name that describes the plotter & paper size, IE: KMB 11x17 Lazerjet5000, etc. This aids in the Batch Plotting feature discussed above. 5 When using the Sheet Set Manager for Batch Plotting, it is recommended that the CAD Operator use the Blue Publish Dialog box, not the Publish Using Page Setup Overrides option. KMB has found that using the 0.001 Page Setup Overrides option introduces errors and lost plots. See your CAD Manager with any questions regarding this. 6 11.1. PEN TABLE SETTINGS: Magenta 0.012 KMB uses the KMB-standard.ctb for plotted drawings. The following table lists the pen settings for the colors referenced above. This table is included as a reference only and the pen settings are not to be altered. A 10.1. DIMENSION STYLES: 7 White complete list of each pen in the pen table has been developed; see your CAD Manager for the location of this 0.016 file. Dimension Style: A Font Style: Arial Narrow Dimension styles will use the following settings: Baseline Spacing: 3/8 Extend Beyond Dimlines: 1/8 Extend Beyond Ticks: 0 Arrow Size: 3/8 All Arrowheads will use a separate Arrowhead Dimension Style with the Arrowhead size set to 1/8 8 Dark gray 0.010 50% Dimension & Text Styles will use a naming convention similar to the Layer Naming convention discussed above 9 where the first part of the Dimension Style name will be the discipline followed by the scale setting. Thus a given Light gray drawing may have a list of Dimension Styles similar to the following: 0.010 10% A A-01 |_ 11 101 _Leader A-04 | Salmon Light Green _ _Leader A0.007 0.010 08 |_ _Leader 10% A-12 |_ 13 102 _Leader A-24 | Pink Green Light _ _Leader A0.004 0.010 48 |_ _Leader 15% A-96 |_ 15 103 _Leader Dark Pink Light Green 0.005 0.010 20% 110 16 Light Green Dark Brown 0.010 0.003 25% 111 20 Light Green Orange 0.010 Cad Standards 0.065 30% 112 21 Light Green Light Orange 0.010 0.050 35% 113 23
