The AEC (UK) CAD Standards Committee created the AEC (UK) Layer Standard back in Jan 02, which defined layer names in CAD drawings based on recognised UK (BS1192 pt5) and European (ISO13567)standards, and the RIBA Uniclass classification system.
The Committe now has two new documents:
* The AEC (UK) CAD Standard for Model File Naming v1.1
* The AEC (UK) CAD Standard for Drawing Management v1.0
The Model File Naming Standard covers two conventions -- basic and advanced -- for the structured identification of CAD files, such as ownership, location, type of file, and unique numbering.
The Drawing Management Standard offers guidance for dealing with incoming and outgoing information, as well as storage of the CAD model files required for contract documents.
The Standards committee aims to build on the guidelines defined by the CPIC initiative, the PIX Protocol, and industry best practice.
The new documents are freely available from www.aec-uk.org.
