Drafting Standards Manual - Table of Contents

Below is the table of contents with a brief description of each topic. The full text of these drafting standards is available in Microsoft Word and RTF formats when you purchase BidMaker CAD for Falsework.

    Use
    Briefly describes what the drafting standards are for and why it's important to have CAD standards.

    The Drafting Process
    Outlines a sequential 15 step process to maximize CAD efficency. This process starts with drawing setup and ends with drawing approval and plotting drawings for final prints. Understanding this process is vital to effectively using CAD as well as CAD for Falsework.

    Drawing File Naming & Directory Structure
    Defines how to name drawings and directory structures consistently. This enables familiarity for multiple employees to use and backup different computers. Drawing sheet names and title blocks structure is also discussed.

    Building or Structure Outline
    Defines how to draw the building or structure outline.

    Scaffolding and Shoring Components

    • Drafting practices for drawing scaffold and shoring components
    • How to correctly draw the plan view of towers
    • Naming conventions for layers of beams and stringers
    • Use of the 600 drawing blocks

    AutoCAD Conventions

    • Layer names, colors, and definition of what components go on which layers
    • Definition of text, dimensions, & linetypes
    • Definition of text styles and fonts
    • Definition of view labels
    • Definition of plot styles and lineweights (for use when plotting AutoCAD 2000 or Release 14 drawings)
    • How to use the CAD for Falsework drawing templates

    Drafting Checklists
    Drafting Checklists are lists of common items to verify that drawings comply with. They are broken down in sections for

    • Frame Scaffolding
    • Frame Shoring
    • Systems Scaffold
    • Rolling Towers
    • Putlogs
    These checklists ensure that your drawings meet a minimum standard.
