Visit the CDI website: A/E Contractors and outside the Forest Service: Contact CDI (303) 275-5177 Recommendations or suggestions should be emailed to: Jesse Kehm (303) 275-5179Īn electronic version of this document may be requested from CDI. Suggestions for improvement are strongly encouraged and welcomed so that subsequent updates will reflect the needs and input of the users. This manual also contains operational guidelines for users of the AutoCAD system located at the Regional Office in document management, file backup and restoration procedures, archiving, publishing electronic files (pdfs), and plotting. If special conditions make it impractical or impossible to conform to any of these requirements, the problem should be referred to the Project Manager and/or the Center for Design and Interpretation. Drawings that do not meet these requirements will be considered unacceptable. It is intended to guide users in the overall CAD system, operations, and to establish standards and procedures that will avoid duplication of effort and maintain uniformity of work.

The purpose of this document is to establish standards, which will result in the preparation of consistent and compatible AutoCAD files. These standards are intended for Forest Service employees throughout the region, as well as architectural and engineering (A&E) contractors for the use in the preparation of Computer Aided Design (CAD) construction and design drawings for the Forest Service. Introduction The following AutoCAD User’s guide was compiled by the Regional Office - Center for Design and Interpretation (CDI) and represents a collaborated effort by the AutoCAD standards committee members (see Contributor/Reference page near back of document).
