A/E/C CAD Standard, Release 5.0

Abstract

The A/E/C CAD Standard has been developed by the CAD/BIM Technology Center (Center) for Facilities, Infrastructure, and Environment to eliminate redundant Computer-Aided Design (CAD) standardization efforts within the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Federal Government. The manual is part of an initiative to develop a nonproprietary CAD standard that incorporates existing industry, national, and international standards and to develop data standards that address the entire life cycle of facilities within the DoD. The CAD drafting standards addressed in the A/E/C CAD standard include presentation graphics, level/layer assignments, electronic file naming, and standard symbology. The Center's primary goal is to develop a CAD standard that is generic enough to operate under various CAD software packages (such as Bentley's MicroStation and Autodesk's AutoCAD) and incorporate existing industry standards when possible.
