USF Layer Guidelines

LAYERING

All drawings shall incorporate the standard AIA long format layers as specified
in the National CAD Standard Version 3.1. Blank drawings containing these
layers are available on the FPC web site. In accordance with the AIA layering
standard, all layering names and information within shall adhere to the
following guidelines.

 Only applicable layers are to be used.

 Blank layers shall be purged from the CAD drawing before creating the
final deliverable CAD files.
 Graphic representations of related items shall be located on a single layer
even when indicated on different drawings. For example, full height walls
could be properly drawn on the layer A-WALL or A-WALL-FULL, but not
both.
 Graphic symbols connected to text and notes, (leader lines, arrowheads,
etc.) shall be located on the same layer as the corresponding text.

Layer names will be limited to 13 characters subdivided into 4 sections

including: Discipline, Major group, Minor group, and Modifier as shown below.
Layer names of 5 or 9 characters may be used when appropriate and consistent
with layer naming guidelines.

13-CHARACTER LAYER NAME = X-XXXX -XXXX -XXXX

Discipline
Major group
Minor group
Modifier

Discipline headings shall define the layer’s discipline as follows:

A = Architectural (Refer to Appendix
B= Geotechnical
C= Civil
D= Process
E= Electrical
F= Fire Protection
G= General
H= Hazardous Materials
I= Interiors
L= Landscape
M= Mechanical
O= Operations

University of South Florida | AutoCAD Standards 

 P= Plumbing
Q= Equipment
R= Resource
S= Structural
T= Telecommunications
U= University
V= Survey / Mapping
W= Civil Works
X= Other Disciplines
Z= Contractor / Shop Drawings

Major group headings shall define assemblies, construction systems or major

categories such as walls, doors, ceilings, lights, power, sewer, water, storm
drains, etc. (Refer to Appendix

Minor group headings shall further define the major group headings such as
full height wall, partial height wall, emergency lighting or general lighting.
(Refer to Appendix

The optional Modifier heading shall further define the minor group heading such
as full height wall existing and full height wall demolished. Modifiers and user
defined characters are options provided for extended clarification.
