MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 14, 1999
TO: Holders of the WMD CAD Standards Manual
FROM: Daniel R. Roberts, P.E.

Workgroup CAD Manager
SUBJECT: May 1999 Update to WMD CAD Standards Manual
Attached is an update of Wastewater Management Division’s CAD Standards Manual, prepared for use by
WMD Design Engineering staff in the preparation of design drawings for WMD projects. Since minor
modifications were made throughout the manual, this update replaces in its entirety the previous release of
the manual issued in May 1999. All custom files are now on the network.
This manual presents standards which generally follow those used by CDOT, with modifications to better
fit WMD projects. While this manual was developed specifically for use on WMD projects, other agencies
are welcome to use it as a model for their standards; for this reason, the distribution of this manual extends
outside of the WMD Design Engineering Workgroup. Eventually, the manual will be available from the
WMD Design Engineering Web page.
The major revisions are as follows:

• Tree and survey symbols have been modified
• Layer standards added for profile layers
• New Land Development Desktop terminology replaces old Softdesk terms and structure
• Description key modifications (BR* changed to BRWLK*, CL* to CL, FS* to FS; some symbol
revisions)
Most of these revisions will be transparent to the WMD Design workgroup since they are defaults stored
on the network.
If you have comments, proposed improvements, or questions about the manual please contact me at (303)

I. Introduction
A. Purpose of Manual
This manual was developed to provide Computer Aided Design (CAD) standards and
guidelines for use by WMD Design staff in the design and drafting of storm and sanitary
sewer projects in the City and County of Denver. The manual also serves as a guideline
for consultants performing design of storm and sanitary systems to be constructed in
Denver. Because of the rapidly changing technologies used in engineering design and
drafting, this manual should be considered a “living” document, which will change as
technologies change.
Any comments or recommendations about this manual should be addressed to:

B. Scope
This manual covers the basic preparation of project plans using CAD as the method of
plan preparation. Elements covered are the CAD system; project initiation and startup;
drawing file directory structure and file naming conventions; drawing setup; drawing set
structure; drafting procedures; layers, linetypes, and colors; annotation, hatching, and
symbols; and pen weights and plotting procedures.
The standards discussed in this manual generally follow those outlined in CDOT’s Design
Manual Volume IV (Computer Aided Drafting), dated January, 1996, modified to meet the
requirements of WMD design projects.
As the use of computers in engineering design evolves, discussion of other elements in the
CAD process may be added to the manual.
Page 1 May 15, 1999

II. The Engineering CAD System
The Engineering CAD System used by WMD Design Engineering is comprised of networked CAD
Workstations running Windows NT operating system. Design software is installed on each
individual system; the network provides file, printer, and plotter sharing, as well as access to e-
mail, internet, and other shared resources. The purpose of this system is to provide engineers and
drafters with state-of-the-art tools for use in design, maximizing the productivity of the workgroup.
A. Software Applications and Versions
1. Drafting Software
AutoCad is the drafting software package used by WMD Design Engineering.

Each workstation is provided with the latest version of AutoCad. All drawings
used by, or provided to, the workgroup shall be dwg (AutoCad native) format.
2. Design Software
AutoDesk’s Land Development Desktop (LDD) with Civil Design and Survey is
the software package used by WMD Design Engineering to perform engineering
design in AutoCad. The package provides the user with tools to perform survey
data import, surface modeling, horizontal and vertical alignment design, and pipe
system design, and other design tasks. Survey data provided to the workgroup
shall be a format useable by this design package - either ASCII text or fbk (Land
Development Desktop native fieldbook) format.
B. Software Customization
The WMD Design Engineering workgroup uses a customized symbol set, custom defined
lines, and custom fonts, as discussed in following sections of this manual. Several files
have been developed as part of this customization package. For a copy of these files,
contact the workgroup CAD Manager, as noted on page 1 of this manual.
C. Network Files (Symbols and Templates)
All AutoDesk products (AutoCad, Land Development Desktop, Civil Design, and Survey)
are licensed as network versions and run under a client deployment scenario with programs
installed on local machines and LDD projects and data files located on the network.
Symbols, templates, and other LDD data files are managed by the CAD Manager and are
“read only” for users. Templates exist for basemaps, title sheets, general notes sheets, and
detail sheets.
Page 2 May 15, 1999

III. Project Planning and Setup
A. Project-Specific Standards
The standards described in this manual will be applicable to the majority of the storm and
sanitary system design projects performed by the workgroup. However, there will be
projects where a variance from these standards will provide a better methodology - an
example of this is the completion of a project which was started before the implementation
of these standards. In cases where the use of these standards would require a significant
amount of re-work, then project-specific standards are acceptable. The use of project-
specific standards should be documented with the archived set of project files.
B. Project Base Points
The use of a project-specific coordinate system is acceptable for WMD design projects.
The coordinate system used for design should match that used by the surveyor for data
collection - points should not be rotated or translated. AutoCad’s X,Y base point of 0,0
should match a Northing, Easting of 0,0.
WMD projects shall use City of Denver published bench marks for vertical control.
With the increased use of GPS equipment, surveyors and designers are encouraged to tie
the project coordinate system to a modified state plane coordinate system. This will
facilitate future use of some of the design elements in a city GIS system.
C. Project Documentation
At the completion of each project (end of construction), project files should be archived on
CD-ROM. These files should include the AutoCad drawing files; Land Development
Desktop design files; AutoCad line and font definition files; and all other associated files.
In the future, scanned “as-built” drawings and other project documents such as
correspondence will be included with the archive set.
Each archived set should include a “readme” file which describes the archive set, and gives
project information such as project manager, date completed, etc.
Page 3 May 15, 1999

IV. Drawing and Design Files
A. Drawing File and Land Development Desktop Design File Subdirectory Structure
Drawing files and Land Development Desktop design files shall be stored in the Land
Development Desktop default “//wmdralph/shared/design/Land Projects” directory on the
network drive, as defined by the CAD Manager. The Land Development Desktop project
name shall be the project number. This directory is automatically created when the
designer begins a project. The drawing files for each project shall be stored in the "dwg"
subdirectory under the Land Development Desktop project file directory. See Figure 1 for
a sample directory structure.

Page 5 May 15, 1999

V. Drawing Setup and Structure
In order for project team members to easily share work on a project, it is important that the method
of drafting and the structure of the drawing set be standardized. The following subsections provide
guideline for this standardization.
A. Use of Model Space and Paper Space
All drafting shall be done at 1:1 (1 AutoCad unit = 1 foot), in engineering units, in the
AutoCad model space environment. Plotting shall be done using the plot layout tools of
AutoCad’s paper space environment; drawing sheets shall be set up at a scale of 1:1, and
views in the drawing shall be scaled using viewport scaling. In addition to the drawing
border, other entities to be placed in paper space include general notes, north arrow and
scale bar, and sheet-specific legends. If Land Development Desktop’s Sheet Manager
tools are used, then profile and cross-section grids should be drawn in paper space.
B. Plan Sheet and Drawing Border Size
The standard plan sheet shall be 22” x 34”; the border shall be 21” x 32”, and shall be
1/2” from the edge of the sheet at the top, right, and bottom, and 1 1/2” from the left edge
of the sheet.
Typically, plan sets provided for bidding and construction shall be half-scale drawings
(11” x 17”).
A sample half-scale border is included in the appendix of this manual.
C. Drawing Scales
The standard scale to be used for plan and profile sheets shall be 1”=40’for full-size
drawings. In areas where greater detail is required, scales of 1”=10’and 1”=20’shall be
used. Other engineering scales may be used if warranted by special considerations.
Drafters are encouraged to include standards details such as manholes and inlets as scaled
details rather than as “Not to Scale” (N.T.S.) drawings.
D. XREF’s
For small projects with five or less plan sheets, it is acceptable to place all components of
the plan and profile in the model space of a single base drawing, and all of the sheets in the
paper space of the same drawing. For larger projects, where drawing size effects
computer performance, the base drawing should contain the plan view and the profile
should be drawn in a separate drawing. These two drawings should then be XREF’d into
a third drawing containing a plan and profile sheet for plotting. With this method, each
plan and profile sheet should be a separate drawing.
XREFs should also be used wherever a part of the basemap or other information will be
used in more than one drawing, so that any changes are automatically updated in all of the
associated drawings.
Page 6 May 15, 1999

VI. Drafting Procedures
A. Order of Plan Sheets
Listed below is the sheet order for a set of construction plans. In a typical project, only
part of the sheets listed will be needed.
Plan Sheet Order

Title Sheet
Standard Plan List Sheet
Typical Sections Sheet
General Notes and Legend Sheet
Summary of Approximate Quantities
Tabulation Sheets
Detail Sheets
Plan and Profile Sheets
Major “Specialized Group” Sheets
− Survey Control Sheets
− Known Contamination Sites Plan
− Landscaping Sheets
− Wetland Mitigation Sheets
− Stormwater Management Plan Sheets
− Traffic Control Sheets
− Final Signing and Striping Sheets
Plan sheets should be numbered sequentially in the final construction set (1,2,3... etc.)
B. Title Block
Each sheet shall have a title block which shall include computer file information, the sheet
name, project number, sheet number, the designer and reviewer, and a revision block. The
sample border in the appendix includes a sample title block.
The title block shall be located along the right edge of the border and shall read from the
right side of the border, so that the title block shall be at the top of archived drawings in
WMD’s vertical file cabinets.
C. Drafting Details, North Arrow, Scale Bars, And Legends
Drawing details such as section callouts and detail callouts are illustrated in the appendix.
These details are a part of the WMD custom symbol set and can be obtained from the
CAD Manager.
Each plan and profile sheet shall contain a north arrow and scale bar in the plan view, and
a scale bar in the profile view, typically in the upper right corner of each view. The
appendix contains examples of these details. These details are also part of the WMD
custom symbol set.
Page 7 May 15, 1999

Each drawing set shall include a legend for the set. The legend shall typically be included
on the “General Notes and Legend” sheet. For special symbols used only on one or two
sheets, the legend for those symbols may be included on the applicable sheets.
A sample “General Notes and Legend” sheet is included in the appendix.
D. Notes
General notes for each drawing set shall be included on the “General Notes and Legend”
sheet. Notes specific to an individual sheet, or to a set of specialized sheets, may be
included on those individual sheets.
E. Signature Blocks
Each plan set shall include a City and County Of Denver, Department of Public Works
approval signature block, which must be completely signed before the project may be
advertised for construction. The signatures to be included on WMD Design Engineering
projects are (in the order that they appear on the approval block):
* Manager of Public Works

Executive Director UDFCD
Chief of UDFCD Design and Construction Program
* Deputy Manager for Wastewater Management
Deputy Manager for Transportation
City Engineer
Manager of Parks and Recreation
* Mayor’s Office of Contract Compliance
(* always required)
In addition to the approval block, each plan set should include a submittal block, which
shall include the following:
Project Design Engineer

Chief Design Engineer
Director of Engineering
These signature blocks shall be included on the cover sheet of each project. See the
appendix of this manual for a sample cover sheet.
Page 8 May 15, 1999

VII. Layers, Colors, and Linetypes
A. Layer Naming Conventions - Model Space Entities
Two types of layering styles shall be used for model space entities in WMD projects. The
Geographic Layering Style shall be used for drawings with a specific spatial reference or
field location, such as plan and profile drawings.
For drawings which do not have a specific spatial reference or field location, such as
standard detail drawings, the Non-Geographic Layering Style shall be used.
Table 2 lists the layering style generally used for a given drawing type.

1. Geographic Layering Style
The format of the Geographic Layer style consists of a single letter prefix to
identify the entity discipline, followed by a descriptive layer name. Table 3 (page
10) lists the prefixes to be used and associated disciplines. The discipline shall be
based on the entity type.

S none,C,H,M,P Survey Survey points from design survey
T none,C,H,M,P Traffic Traffic graphics, text, notes (construction zone and
final signing and striping)
Table 5 on page 11 and Table 6 on page 12 list descriptive layer names to be used.
The “?” should be replaced by first character prefix from Table 3: for example,
the layer name for a proposed (“design”) storm sewer (in plan view) would be
“DSTORM_SEW”.
Table 5 should be considered as a guideline and can be expanded for individual

projects as needed.
2. Non-Geographic Layering Style
The format of the Non-Geographic Layering style consists of a two letter prefix to
identify the entity discipline (first letter) and option (second letter), followed by a
descriptive layer name. Tables 3 and 4 list the prefixes to be used.

Colors and linetypes of entities shall generally be defined “bylayer” and shall be as shown
in Tables 5 through 9. Linetypes shown (“LT”) are AutoCad standard linetypes, as shown
below:
C = Continuous
D = Dashed
P = Phantom
P2 = Phantom2
CL2 = Center2
Linetypes listed as “SP” are special WMD custom linetypes; for entities with special
linetypes, the color shall be “bylayer” and linetype shall be by entity. WMD custom
linetypes are shown on the sample “General Notes and Legend” sheet in the appendix.
D. Pen Weights
Plotted pen weights and corresponding AutoCad colors for full-scale drawings are listed in
Table 10 on page 14. Drafting Pen numbers are included for reference. Plotting widths
for half-scale drawings shall be one-half that shown in the table.

VIII. Annotation
A. Text Styles
Different font styles are used to create a drawing which is both aesthetically appealing and
easier to read. Table 11 is a listing of standard fonts for use in WMD projects. Each text
style (e.g., RSO10012) is broken into three parts. The first two or three characters (alpha)
describe the font used (e.g., RSO = Romans font with oblique). The next two or three
characters (numeric) represent the width factor (e.g., 100 = 100% of normal width). The
last two or three characters (numeric) represent the plotted text height in tenths of an inch
(e.g., 12 = .12 inches high plotted).
TABLE 11
FONTS AND STYLES
Text Style Font Height Width Oblique
Angle
RS8010 Romans 0.10 in 0.8 0
RS8014 Romans 0.14 in 0.8 0
RSO8010 Romans 0.10 in 0.8 15
RS10010 Romans 0.10 in 1.0 0
RS10012 Romans 0.12 in 1.0 0
RS10014 Romans 0.14 in 1.0 0
RS100175 Romans 0.175 in 1.0 0
RS10020 Romans 0.20 in 1.0 0
RS10026 Romans 0.26 in 1.0 0
RSO10012 Romans 0.12 in 1.0 15
RSO100175 Romans 0.175 in 1.0 15
RD10026 Romand 0.26 in 1.0 0
RD10048 Romand 0.48 in 1.0 0
In addition to the styles listed above, Arial and Arial Bold are used for the standard Title
Sheet in .48” (“City and County of Denver”), .36” (“Department of Public Works”,
“Wastewater Management Division”), and .24” (Project Name) heights.
Sample styles, tables and samples of utilization are included in the appendix.
B. Dimensioning
All dimensioning shall be associative and shall be drawn in the same drawing space as the
entity being dimensioned. Since entities will generally be in model space, then dimensions
should also be in model space. Styles to be used for text in dimensions shall follow the
standard fonts outlined above.
C. Symbols
WMD uses a custom symbol set. These symbols are shown in the appendix; AutoCad
drawings of these symbols may be obtained by contacting the WMD CAD Manager.

IX. Land Development Desktop Files
A. Project Description Keys
Land Development Desktop uses description keys to automatically sort survey point data
into different layers, to assign descriptions to Land Development Desktop point entities,
and to assign symbols to point entity locations based on the survey point description. This
file has been customized to match WMD standards.
A printout of this file has been included in the appendix of this manual.
B. Figures Prefix Library
In addition to description keys, Land Development Desktop uses a figure prefix library to
automatically sort survey linework to different layers based on the coded descriptions of
the survey data.
Table 12 lists standard figure prefixes (which correspond to point description prefixes) and
associated layer names for standard survey points for which WMD collects survey
linework data.
