DRAWINGS DRAWING SHEET SIZES AND FORMAT


A. Produce standard construction drawings and individually controlled drawings (priority drawings i.e., PFDs, P&IDs, electrical one-lines, etc.) on a D size sheet. (Note: LANL has chosen D size sheets for ease in reproduction media machinery available and B size reproduction use by Operations.) 1. Exception: New facilities with a base floor plan of 50,000 sq. ft. or larger may use E size with approval of the Drafting Standards POC prior to design layout. B. Produce Engineering Studies, Conceptual Design Reports, and Design Criteria drawings on a B size sheet whenever possible. C. Use a consistent size of drawing sheet throughout the Drawing Set. Note: Exception applies to vendor drawings that are attached at the end of the drawing package. D. Provide a continuous line sheet border, as illustrated below that is 0.75 mm thick (1 /16 inch). E. Standard drawing sheet sizes, borders, and formats are shown below. The overall dimensions are the sheet cut size. (AutoCAD drawing files for standard LANL title blocks can be downloaded from the LANL Engineering Standards website: http://engstandards.lanl.gov/New_Home.html F. Guidance: An A size sheet may be used for sketches for Design Change Packages (DCP), Engineering Change Notices (ECN), etc. The title block should contain the information as in Section 103.4.6 in a format as depicted in Section 202.

SUBMITTAL SHEET CRITERIA AND GUIDELINES FOR SUBMITTAL SHEET


It is strongly recommended that LANL Master Specifications section 01 3300, Submittal Procedures, be used. In all contract packages alternatively include a submittal sheet (General Information G Sheet) in the drawing set when submittals are required but when a specification package is not included with the construction documents. Use the following guidelines in producing the submittal sheet and stating the submittal requirements: A. Produce a Submittal Schedule and Definition of Submittal Types on the G sheet (See Figure 207-1). B. Do not place submittal lists on any of the discipline sheets.

2.0

NUMBERING THE REQUIRED SUBMITTALS


A. Assign each submittal an alphanumeric designation using no more than 3 characters. This alphanumeric designation is the SUB NO. in the submittal schedule illustrated on the following page.

Page 26 of 56

LANL Drafting Standards Manual


Section 200 - Drafting Requirements Rev. 4, 10/27/06 B. An alphanumeric designation represents the discipline requiring the submittal. Assign an alpha character representing the discipline using Section 210, Drawing Set Organization, as a guideline. C. Assign a sequential number designation to the submittal by discipline.

3.0

SUBMITTAL SCHEDULE
The schedule is a General Symbols block (G44), found in Appendix B of this manual and LANL Master Specifications, Section 01 3300.

DRAWING SCALES AND TOLERANCES GRAPHIC SCALES


A. When drawings are produced to scale, insert graphic scales illustrating the drawing scale. Use these formats for standard graphic scales: (Refer to Appendix B)

Figure 208-1

B. In the illustration above, 3/32" text (the minimum allowable) is shown for the distance designations for all graphic scales because of the limited space available. The drawing scale designation text is shown at 1/8". These text heights were selected for graphic clarity. Graphic scales are to be right justified 5 and 1/4 below the drawing title, see Figure 206-1 and 206-2 for examples. C. Include the following statement as a General Note on the drawing sheet: If this sheet is not (state the original plot size, i.e., 24 x 36), then it is a reduced size plot. Use graphic scale accordingly.

2.0

DRAWING SCALES
A. Acceptable drawing scales and the call out protocol for drawings are as follows:
Item Contour, Grading, Landscaping, Site, Utility, Plans: Scale 1 = 10 1 = 20 1 = 30 1 = 40 1 = 50 1: = 60 * 1 = 100 1 = 200 1 = 500 1 = 1000
* Note: New Mexico plot size (LANL design basis)

Item Plan & Profiles: Horizontal Scale: Vertical Scale: Sections:

Scale 1 = 10; 1 = 20 1 = 5; 1 = 10 1/8 = 1-0 1/4 = 1-0 1/2 = 1-0 3/4 = 1-0 1 = 1-0

Per National CAD Standards

B. If a graphic scale is used then the use of SCALE: x = x-0 is not required under title. If SCALE: NONE is used under title, then the graphic scale is not required.

3.0

CONSISTENCY OF DRAWING SCALES


Draw all principal plans in a drawing set at the same scale, line type and line width.

4.0

EQUIPMENT ROOM DRAWING SCALES


A. Layout all equipment, piping, conduits, trays, ducts, wiring, etc., located within the equipment rooms on an enlarged partial floor plan shown at 1/4" = 1' - 0" scale minimum. B. In rooms, areas, and spaces that are designed to accommodate equipment, show the equipment layout in detail plans, interior elevations and sections, as required for clarity. C. Use enlarged sections and details to show congested areas at minimum scale of 1/2" = 1' - 0" for clarity.

5.0

NO SCALE DRAWINGS
Certain details, diagrams, and plans cannot or need not be drawn to a specific scale (i.e., wiring, P&IDs, schematics, and control diagrams). For the drawing scale notation type "SCALE: NONE" indicating that no scale was used in generating the drawing.

Figure 208-2

6.0

TOLERANCES
Guidance: Tolerances should be noted per ANSI Y14.5 - 1994, Dimensioning and Tolerancing for Engineering Drawings (inches), and client design criteria.

209 1.0

DIMENSIONING & LEADERS GENERAL


A. Specify dimensions of less than one foot in inches, for example:

11 1/2"
B. Specify dimensions one foot and over in feet and inches, for example:

2' - 6 1/4"
C. Exception to these rules occurs when dimensioning civil drawings, mechanical ductwork and piping, electrical control cabinets and boxes, or architectural woodwork. D. Do not stack fractions.

2.0

DIMENSION LINE CONVENTION AND TEXT ORIENTATION


A. Use unbroken dimension lines with the dimension text located above the line. All dimension text must be read from the bottom or right side of the drawing sheet.

Figure 209-1

B. Guidance: For examples of text orientation for isometric drawings refer to Global Engineering Documents, current edition, Section 3 and 4; DOE Handbook 1016, or AIA Architectural Graphic Standards.

3.0

DIMENSION LINE TERMINATION


A. Arrowheads, slashes, and dots are all acceptable terminators for dimension lines.

Page 31 of 56

LANL Drafting Standards Manual


Section 200 - Drafting Requirements Rev. 4, 10/27/06 B. Draw a heavy terminator (arrowhead 1/8 in length, 45 degrees diagonal, 0.80 mm line width tic mark, or 1/16 diameter solid circle) to ensure readability when reproduced or reduced to half size. Use a consistent terminator throughout all drawing sheets for a discipline in a drawing set. AutoCAD setting for terminator to be 1/8 inch. Text shall be 1/8 romans, color-white. Arrows and dimension line shall be color 9.

Figure 209-2

C. Tic marks shall be used in the architectural discipline. D. Do not mix termination symbols within a discipline.

4.0

PLAN DIMENSIONS
A. Keep dimension lines clear of the building footprint whenever possible. B. Place dimension lines in a logical progression (i.e., centerlines, projections, overall, etc.). C. Keep the dimensions consistent on all plans. D. Tie all building portions together clearly. E. Do not dimension to hidden features. F. Refer to the National CAD Standards Manual Drafting Conventions, current edition, for hierarchy of dimensioning.

5.0

DIMENSIONS NOT TO SCALE


A. When dimensional changes are made on drawings that affect the dimensions shown on a detail, it is not necessary to change the detail to agree with the new dimension. Change the dimension text to match the new dimension and note NTS below the dimension line, to indicate "Not to Scale" as illustrated below.

Figure 209-3

LANL Drafting Standards Manual


Section 200 - Drafting Requirements Rev. 4, 10/27/06

6.0

LEADERS
A. All leaders with single text notations shall start from the leader terminator (arrow) and end 1/16 from the text notation. See Figure 1. B. All leaders with multiple text notations shall start from the leader terminator (arrow) and end 1/16 from the text notation. Hence: upper left corner or lower right corner of the note. See Figure 2. C. Leaders for use with Keyed Notes shall start from the leader terminator (arrow) and end/attach at the edge of the Keyed Note Bubble. See Figure 3. D. Crossing of leaders is not allowed. E. Leader terminator is a 1/8 arrow when plotted 1:1 on a D size drawing. F. Use a 1/8 dot for a leader terminator to indicate a surface point on a D size drawing when plotted 1:1.

Arrow length = 1/8 Arrow color = Lt. Gray (9)

DRAWING SET ORGANIZATION STANDARD SHEET IDENTIFICATION (NUMBERING)


A. The required sheet identification format is applicable to all construction drawing production (Title I and Title II) (This does not include ES or CDRs). It is consistent, yet flexible enough for a wide range of project scopes. The Uniform Drawing System (UDS) by the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) sheet identification format depicted here has three components:

Discipline Designator (level 2-hyphen) Discipline Designator (level 1) Sheet Type Designator Sheet Sequence Number

Suffix used only for additional drawing inserted in a set of drawings

LEVEL 1: Discipline designator, consisting of 1 alphabetical character, A LEVEL 2: Discipline designator, is not used, replace with a hyphen, A B. The Sheet Type Designator, identifies the type of information on the sheet and is followed by the Sheet Sequence number. Sheet Type designator, consisting of 1 numerical character, N Sheet Sequence number, consisting of 3 numerical characters. N Supplemental Drawing Sheet A C. The one-character Discipline designator identifies the sheet as a member of a subset. 1. Within the discipline designator, the first character is the discipline character. The discipline character identifies the creator of the drawings on the sheet. N N

LEVEL 1 - DISCIPLINE DESIGNATOR


A. The first component of the sheet identification format, the discipline designator, is based on the traditional system of alphabetical discipline designators. B. Organize the drawing sets by discipline in the following order (as applicable):

3.0

SHEET TYPE DESIGNATOR


A. The second component of the sheet identification format is the sheet type designator. The sheet type is identified by a single numerical character. All sheet types may not apply to all discipline designators. It is not necessary to use all the sheet types for a project or within a discipline. B. Organize the Sheet Types in the following order (as applicable): TABLE 210-1
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 General (symbols legend, notes, etc.) Plans (horizontal views including civil plans & profiles) Elevations (vertical views) Sections (sectional views) Large Scale views (plans, elevations, or sections that are not details) Details Diagrams Schedules User Defined (for types which do not fall in other categories) 3D Representations (isometrics, perspectives, models, and photographs)

4.0

SHEET SEQUENCE NUMBER


A. The third component of the sheet identification format is a three-digit sheet sequence number that identifies each sheet in a series of the same discipline and sheet type. The first sheet of each series is number 000, followed by 001 through 999. (A three (3) - digit sequence number is required for efficient electronic file sorting and facility management databases.) N N N

B. On plan sheets, it may be desirable to replicate the floor name within each discipline. This makes sheets A-1002, M-1002, and E-1002 the second floor plan for each of the various disciplines. This system may become cumbersome when basements and mezzanines or split level plans are involved. Evaluate each project carefully before deciding to implement this option. C. Additional drawings inserted in a set of drawings after a sheet identification organization has already been established can be identified with a suffix. This suffix may be comprised of a defined designator; starting with the letter A.

211 1.0

ARRANGEMENT AND NUMBERING SEQUENCE DRAWING SETS


A. Shall be arranged in a defined order and assigned a unique number, within each discipline, as specified in Table 211-1. These sheet sequence numbers must be unique not only within the drawing set, but also unique with respect to ALL other drawings for each structure. For example, if an E-6000 already exists for a particular structure, then the next drawing set created must either revise this pre-existing E-6000 or begin its sheet sequence at E-6001. A list showing what drawings already exist and which sheet sequence numbers have already been used can be obtained from IRM Document Control team (667-4696) or search Facility Custom Reports on-line at http://arania.lanl.gov/eng_site/IIM/moads_index.htm Crypto authentication required).

STANDARDIZATION OF TEXT FONT STYLES AND TEXT SIZE REQUIREMENTS


A. Use only standard AutoCAD fonts: Romans and Romand. Do not use stylized fonts or fonts not standard to AutoCAD. B. Fonts other than Romans and Romand can be used on the title sheet (Section 203) for the Design Agency logos. If a logo contains a font that is not standard to AutoCAD, convert the logo to a drawing or change the logo to an electronic format that can be read by the standard AutoCAD package. C. Match the existing font style and height for uniformity of presentation when revising existing drawings. D. The minimum text height in the drawing field on C and D size sheets is 1/8 inch. E. The minimum text height in the drawing field on A and B size sheets is 3/32 inch. F. The minimum text height only applies in circumstances when another convention is not specified in this document.

2.0

TEXT FORMATTING CONVENTIONS


A. Create all text in upper case letters, with the exception of certain unit designations such as kVA, mm, kHz, Vac, Vdc, mA, which are recognized as an industry standard. B. Use text that is legible when reduced to one-half size on half-size drawing sets.

Page 45 of 56

LANL Drafting Standards Manual


Section 200 - Drafting Requirements Rev. 4, 10/27/06 C. Leave a minimum space of one-half the text height between text lines and special marks to maintain legibility. D. Maintain standard text conventions across disciplines in a drawing set. E. Orient text to read horizontally from left to right and/or vertically from the bottom to the top of the sheet. F. Font width factor shall be a 1 unless otherwise specified in this manual. G. When inserting text into a D or E size drawing comply with the following:

Figure 213.1

Note: The "Sub Title" designation referred to in the table above is most commonly used in schedules. The schedule title is the main title (1/4" Romand) and the column headers for the schedule are the sub titles (3/16" Romand). H. When using paper space and model space on drawings, and after setting the scale of view port, lock the view port to prevent the moving of the model space in the View port in paper space. Do not use password protection when locking view ports. I. Be consistent throughout the design drawing package in using model space/paper space when using text and dimensions.

SECTIONS, ELEVATIONS, DETAILS, AND CALLOUTS GENERAL


A. Identify sections, elevations, and details by referencing them with symbols or callouts. Page 46 of 56

LANL Drafting Standards Manual


Section 200 - Drafting Requirements Rev. 4, 10/27/06 B. Font width for sheet numbers in detail, elevation, and section bubbles shall be 0.75. C. Do not duplicate letter or numbers on either the Sections or Detail sheets. D. Start lettering or numbering sequence at the Upper Left Corner and finish at the Lower Right Corner of drawing. E. Do not explode blocks generated for sections, elevations, and/or details.

2.0

REFERENCE DESIGNATIONS
A. Identify sections and elevations by LETTERS, and details by NUMBERS. Reference sections, elevations and details with the discipline sheet number, for example: A1000, C1000, S-1000

3.0

PROTOCOL FOR REFERENCES AND CALLOUTS


A. On the sheet where details, sections or elevations are drawn, number or letter them independently by sheet, as opposed to consecutively by discipline or project. Order the numbers and letters sequentially in each drawing sheet that contains elevations, details or sections. Begin with the number 1 for details, and the letter A for the elevation or section designation. Start at the upper left corner of the sheet and finish at the lower right corner, working from let to right-like reading a page in a book. B. When a detail or section is eliminated, the deleted detail or section number or letter may be reused or left blank. The details or sections do not have to be renumbered as the result of a deletion.

4.0

EXAMPLES OF PROTOCOLS
A. A section, detail or elevation drawn on the same sheet with a plan or collectively is not permitted. (Exception: see Section 100, 3,0D-Definitions and 4.0-Sketches)

KEYED NOTES
A. Use keyed notes where space is limited in the drawing field. Keyed Notes shall be located below General Notes as shown in Figure 202.1. B. Number keyed notes independently by sheet, as opposed to consecutively by discipline or project. C. Begin numbering keyed notes on each sheet that contains keyed notes with the number one. Number each note sequentially in ascending order. D. If a keyed note is deleted, insert the comment "not used" in place of the deleted note or re-use the number for another note. It is not necessary to re-number keyed notes because of a deletion. E. When a keyed note is used, show the keyed note legend on the same sheet where reference is made. See Figure 202-1 for location of the Keyed Note legend. F. Do not use keyed notes for dimensions, air flows (CFMs), or under any other circumstances that are inappropriate. G. The keyed note symbol is an oval with a number designation. The standards established for text apply to the numeric character in the keyed note bubble. See Figure 214-8 for an example of the Keyed Note style. General Symbol G-46 and G-47 (Appendix B) establishes keyed note bubble size and Keyed Notes legend header.

CAD LAYERING GUIDELINES


Maximum Number of Layers
A. Fifty (50) is the preferred maximum for the number of layers in a drawing file. In extreme cases, it is acceptable to increase the number of layers to a maximum of 100.

2.2

Layer Naming Convention


A. Use the US National CAD Standard Version 2 (or later) AIA CAD Layer Guidelines for establishing layer names for all drawings. The only exceptions to those guidelines are: 1. The addition of a G (for general) group in the major groups. The G major group is added for general information that is not discipline specific, such as Title Blocks, Title Sheets, Submittal, and General Notes sheets and Symbols that are applicable to all disciplines. 2. Do not exceed 16 characters in assigning any layer name. This allows for the addition of extra characters that are added to the layer name automatically when X-Refs are used and eventually bound to the file.

3.0

ELECTRONIC FILE FORMAT FOR FINAL DELIVERABLES


A. One complete set of electronic files shall be placed on CD(s) and sent to IRM-DC Team Records Center with a transmittal letter itemizing the contents and confirmation that the project has been approved and completely signed off for construction and as-builts.

Page 53 of 56

LANL Drafting Standards Manual


Section 200 - Drafting Requirements B. Affix a stick-on label to the CD with the following completed data: LANL Project ID# LANL Drawing # (C#) or ECN#, DCP#, FCN#, SK#, or PL# TA and Building Title of Project Number of electronic files submitted: X of X Rev. 4, 10/27/06

C. CDs that contain classified information shall be identified as such per SAFE-7 and/or ADC instructions. Note: IRM-DC Team does not handle classified documents. D. If another graphics software was used to create a drawing file, deliver the file in a format that can be recognized by and can be converted to AutoCAD (i.e.: ASCII format, DXF file). E. It is preferred that only standard AutoCAD Release 2000 or higher options be used in creating drawing files. Third party software that is completely compatible and supportable by AutoCAD Release 2000 or higher is acceptable. F. Not all contractors and subcontractors have AutoCAD release 2000 or above. All electronic files created in AutoCAD 2002 - 2004 shall be saved as AutoCAD 2000. G. The deliverable media for electronic files are CD disks. The entire project file can be stored on one CD, provided it fits. Label the disk with the official PROJECT NAME, LANL PROJECT ID, DRAWING NO.(s), STAGE/PHASE (Title II, Engineering Study, etc), DATE SUBMITTED, ACAD VERSION/WORD PROCESSING PROGRAM used to create the documents, DESCRIPTION OF DOCUMENTS contained on the disk. It should also be noted if any third party add on software packages were used to augment the standard AutoCAD package. H. A "read me" file is required if special instructions are needed for other users to understand the drawing files. I. Bind all externally referenced (X-REF) drawing files using the X-REF Bind command sequence and lock all view ports with the Lock Command. Refer to the AutoCAD Users Guide for instructions on binding x-refs. Identify the plotting scale on the drawing file as well as on the delivered media.

J.

K. It is not necessary to identify the plotting scale if it is 1:1. L. The preferred plotting scale is 1:1. If the scale is different than 1:1, then indicate the scale on the drawing file and the deliverable label. To minimize potting discrepancies for color; dithering; gray scale; pen assignments; screening; line-type; line weight; end styles; join styles; and fill styles, set the AutoCAD plot style to selection 2000-STD-Pens. Refer to the AutoCAD Users Guide, Plotting Your Drawing for assistance in setting this plotting style. Shading (if required) in a drawing shall be done by using the standard AutoCAD Hatch Patterns.
