Prototype Drawings
Prototype drawings are drawings that may be used as a model to create design drawings for a specific project. District design projects can be similar to other previously designed projects. When this is the case, prototype drawings may be used by the consultant as a basis for their new drawings.
When using prototype drawings, it is the consultant's responsibility to verify that the CAD standards used in that drawing conform to the standards outlined in this manual. The prototype drawings are provided as a convenience to the consultant. They are not intended as a guideline for CAD standards.
The District will provide the consultant with CAD files of any prototype drawings that may be used for a project. The specific drawings used by each project, if any, will vary. Prototype drawings will be provided in MicroStation format only. Translation to other CAD formats is the responsibility of the consultant.
