ZZ Project Settings (Created as by LDT)

All files should reside in their appropriate folder. Subdirectories within the folders shown in
Table 6 can be created by the user as needed. The Sub folders however should be named so
they can be easily identified. If using a date in the folder a recommended format should be
YYMMDD. (Year Month Day)

Design Drawings – where the project designs (models) are created and modified. The
design drawing files for each project shall be stored in the root of the
"dwg" subdirectory under the Project folder.
Construction Documents – the complied Design Drawings made into plan sheets for plan
review and construction. These files shall be stored in the CD

Page Ð 15
 (Construction Documents) subfolder of the dwg folder.
Once the Construction Documents are created and setup for the project their main purpose
is for plotting only. All design and design modifications are to be accomplished within the
design drawings or models.

Drawing Setup Profiles

The drawing setup profiles control drawing units, coordinate zones, orientation, text style,
and border. Profiles can be created for geographical location, including standard scales and
settings. You can then save the specific profile to be used when creating new drawings.

Text Styles
Text styles are loaded using the drawing setup profile.
Using different font styles in a drawing accomplishes two goals: it is more aesthetically
appealing and easier to read. Autodesk products have Text Styles that consists of a
Character Set and Size.
Character set simplex is the base set used for the Text styles in both standards supplied.
Text Styles can have any name. This Standard follows the Leroy Naming system. L100 is
the Style name for a plotted text height of 0.10 inches. A height or 0.10 Inches is an
industry standard and typically required by plan reviewers. (Plotted Height * Drawing Scale
= Text height in AutoCAD Units). Table 7 displays the Leroy Text Styles and their plotted
height.
Leroy Text styles are only to be used in model space.
Text styles that have a user defined height are for Paper Space.
