JOB NUMBER ANATOMY Project folders file structure will be dependent
on the City of Anaheim Project Number.
For ALL
FUND
projects, the design project will have an account (or multiple)
numbers:
AGENCY UNIT OBJECT 270 412 L109 7892
For most projects the PROJECT NUMBER is the 3rd set of
numbers
FUND
that begins with a specified letter – also known as the UNIT
NUMBER.
In this case, the Project Number or Unit Numbers are L109 and
K867.
AGENCY UNIT OBJECT 270 412 L109 7892
FUND AGENCY UNIT OBJECT 270 412 K867 KDE3
For other projects that are not linked to specific funds, the
project number is not derived from the 3rd set of numbers; it is
identified by the last set of numbers
FUND
known as the OBJECT NUMBER. These projects may be Redevelopment
Projects, Parks Projects, Sewer Projects, Traffic Projects,
etc:
AGENCY UNIT OBJECT 101 412 3262 2533
FUND AGENCY UNIT OBJECT 270 412 3262 2103
ANATOMY (HOW TO NAME THE PROJECT FOLDER): The project folder’s
naming convention will be designated by PROJECT NUMBER and BRIEF
PROJECT DESCRIPTION. Project Number:
L000 = City of Anaheim Job Number or Unit Number 2533 = City of

FILE NAMING
Formula: Sheet Number + Drawing Type + Sheet Type + Suffix (if
necessary)
OVERVIEW There are three (3) main folders in your project directory
to store and organize your CAD Files. The three folders are IMAGES,
MASTER FILES and PLAN SHEETS. The following will guide you in
organizing the file naming system within these folders. The
following formulas shall be used and followed.
IMAGES
Image files will be saved in this directory. Since the use and need
of images will vary from project to project, a defined naming
convention system will not be necessary.
PLAN SHEETS
Plan Sheet files are the files that are sent out for production as
bond, Mylar or blue lines. They will always contain a referenced
border and are generally plotted from 1:1 paper space. The first 6
to 8 characters of the Plan Sheet names must follow the formula
shown above. Additional characters can follow to act as a
description of the file. The description should be short and
concise with NO Spaces. Underscores and/or dashes are to be used to
separate words. See examples shown below. Sheet Number The first 2
characters of the Plan Sheet names shall relate to the sheet number
of your project. Sheet numbers must contain two characters to keep
them in order in the directory listing i.e. 01, 02, 03. Drawing
Type The second set of 2 characters of the Plan Sheet names shall
describe what type of civil concentration the sheet is. ST = Street

DRAWING SETUP
CITY OF ANAHEIM 5-1 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
The City of Anaheim Templates (_COA.dwt) will also be located in
the following location:
\Design\Library\CAD Library\Templates
TEMPLATES The City of Anaheim Template will reside in the CAD sub
folder of the project folder initially copied over from the CAD
Library directory.
ALWAYS BEGIN NEW FILES WITH THE CITY OF ANAHEIM (COA) TEMPLATE
FILE
The template stores attributes, layers and styles customized to our
Design Group. Never, never use another sections or consultants
files in your directory. Begin with a template file and copy the
information into your template drawing. See “Starting a New
Project” at the end of the CAD Manual. If you follow the procedure
of beginning all new projects by copying the file structure as
explained in Folder Structure section, all necessary files will be
copied over and reside in the correct corresponding folders. FILE
SETUP Do not use multiple layout tabs in all SHEETS FILES. Do not
start a new projects by either copying old project files by
employing the “save as” command. This can and will populate a new
project with errors or problems. Rather always use the _COA
Template.

DRAWING SETUP
BORDERS
• Xref to paper space at 1:1. • Do not scale border by a drawing
factor. • The default border size for all projects is 22” x 34”. •
A copy of the current Border will be in the directory copied over
to begin
the project. TYPICAL BORDER FOLLOWS:

XREF’s
XREF GUIDELINE
General Guidelines
1. All sheet files; plans, details, sections, title sheet etc. are
to have the border referenced into Paper Space 1:1 scale with the
Origin at 0,0. No Exceptions
! (Includes Title Sheets, Index Sheets, Exhibits, etc)
2. All XREFs are to be attached on its own layer. The layer name
must be the same as the filename that is being attached.
• For example, the file BORDER.DWG is to be attached to a layer
called BORDER.
• Attaching a file to its own layer allows the user to easily turn
off the reference file by freezing the layer.
• It allows the user to easily LOCK that XREF by locking the layer.
Once locked it is impossible to accidentally move or delete that
XREF.
• Embedded in the COA.dwt drawing shall be all necessary layers.
Just select the corresponding layer to make active and
attach.
3. XREFs are to be attached using the OVERLAY option instead of
the
attachment option. Using this option will prevent XREF nesting yet
allow users to attach XREFs to a design file without having to
detach it before exiting. Nested XREFs are not allowed!!

CITY OF ANAHEIM CAD MANUAL DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS SECTION

XREF’s
CITY OF ANAHEIM 6-2 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
4. Except for the border, All XREFs are to be attached in Model
Space.
5. Once attached, XREFs can be LOCKED by locking its XREF
layer.
6. All Viewports are to be created on a layer called VPORT, color
6.
Once the Viewport limits are set, LOCK the Viewport by right
clicking on it and select Display Locked → Yes
7. Do not Force elements to another color or linetype in a file to
be referenced (any XREFs file). This is because Visretain does not
work on elements forced to another color or linetype. (except for
dimensioning)
8. Unload a reference file instead of detaching it when a file
needs to be
temporarily “turned off”. This will maintain the visretain settings
of the layers, colors and linetypes. Reload to turn an XREF on
again.
9. XREFs should be clipped when possible to decrease regen times
and
allow for larger viewports.
10. Never XREF a file that does not path from the Master Files or
Images folder.
11. Layers that are not to be displayed should be both turned OFF
and
Frozen. This is just a safety guard as there are a number of
utilities that Thaw All or turns ON ALL layers that shouldn’t
be.

CITY OF ANAHEIM 6-3 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
12. VISRETAIN must be set to 1 to save all XREF layer
properties.
13. Never put elements on Layer 0. Layer 0 (zero) cannot be
manipulated in an XREF.

General Layer Guidelines
The City of Anaheim CAD manual will use a dual layer naming system;
the City’s own layer naming convention and the National CAD
Standards (NCS) naming conventions. The use of both naming
conventions is due in part to the pre-loaded NCS layers associated
with some of the outputs generated by the Civil 3D design software.
The only NCS layer names being followed and recognized are those
generated by the Civil 3D software. The City of Anaheim’s layer
names are based on common sense approach with emphasis on
minimizing the length and description of layers. General guidelines
shown below:
1. Most of the layers you’ll need for most sheet types can be found
in the Template Files or can be “dragged and dropped” from Design
Center. For more info, see Template files and See “Beginning a New
Project” at the end of the CAD Manual.
2. Do not create layers by color i.e. RED, WHITE, GREEN
3. Do not create layers by Number i.e. 2, 43,60 4. Do not create a
layer for a single unique instance i.e. Do not create a
layer just for the North Arrow. 5. Do not create multiple layers
for the same entities i.e. ROW & RW for
right-of-way. 6. Proposed new entities must use a prefix of P (not
Prop) for proposed. i.e.
PCURB & PGUTTER. a. This will group all proposed layers
together and near the top of the
list.
b. By beginning each file with a COA template file, all layers
shall be pre-loaded onto your ACAD files.
7.
a. This will put existing entity layers near the bottom of the
list.
Existing entities must use a prefix of X (not EX) for existing.
i.e. XCATV & XCL.
8. Layer names must NOT exceed 23 characters.
CITY OF ANAHEIM CAD MANUAL DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS SECTION
7
LAYERS & LINETYPES
CITY OF ANAHEIM 7-2 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
9. Layer names should be easily understood as to what data should
reside
on it. a. With the exception of very common abbreviations, do not
over
abbreviate. i.e. Contours_major instead of Cntr-m.
10. Layers of the same type that may require a variety of line
weights should
have the same name followed by the color number that is used for
that layer. Do NOT force colors. i.e. HATCH1 for a red hatch and
HATCH10 for a thin screened hatch. See Colors, Section 11.
11. Do not change layer names in files that were copied from the
Source
directory i.e. files from subs, aerial mappers, or clients, unless
you are certain that updates to those files will not occur or that
the layer changes are well documented.
12. Immediately delete all unused layers that will not be used in
your file by

General Guidelines
Line Style Files The majority of the standard line styles for the
City of Anaheim are directly from the default AutoCAD line type
file ACAD.lin found on your local drive. Additional specific City
of Anaheim line types are located in:
DESIGN\LIBRARY\CAD LIBRARY\Linestyles\
COA-trans.lin COA-water.lin
The majority of the line styles in the COA.lin file are custom line
styles for utilities using embedded text or shapes. If you need a
line type that is not in the COA.lin file, have the Cad Coordinator
or a lead Cad Operator create the line type for you. Common

LTSCALE (Line type Scale) Since the City of Anaheim always utilizes
1:1 paper space for all plan sheets, the LTSCALE should be 1 when
plotting. When plotting from model space, the LTSCALE should be
equal to the plot scale to properly display the line types. For
very tight spaces, the line type scale of individual lines can be
forced as needed. A sample of City of Anaheim Line types will
follow at the end of this section.
Common City of Anaheim Layer Names and Line Type Names are at the

FONTS
General Guidelines
1. The City of Anaheim primary will only use 2 text fonts: ARIAL
and ROMANS.
2. All Text Styles must be the same name as the Font i.e. style
Romans for
font Romans and style ARIAL for font ARIAL
3. Text styles must NOT be fixed height styles (Text Style height =
0.00) unless required by the software. i.e. Civil 3D
4. All General text must:
a. Use style Romans
b. Have plotted size of .1 for normal size text
c. Have plotted size of .15 for oversize text callouts, special
cases or where emphasis is needed.
d. Be color no. 3 (green)
e.
5. Use ARIAL
font for Titles, Street names, Match Lines & any place where a
bold font is needed.
6. General ARIAL
font should have a plotted size of .2, if larger sizes are
necessary increase the plotted text size in .05 increments. i.e.
.25, .30, .35
7. Leader lines should be color no. 2 (yellow). Use Leader dimstyle
(See Dimension Guidelines for more information)
8. Dimensioning in paperspace the arrowhead size must be .1
9. Dimensioning in model space the arrowhead size must be equal to
the
plotting scale.
10. All text relating to design work including notes, construction
notes & data tables are to be placed in model space.

Text Placement
Because of its auto wrap feature, ease of editing and consistency,
MText should be placed rather than DText. When placing MText, it is
important that the initial placement of the text is the correct
size, style and justification and the Auto wrap limits are only as
long as needed. Placing text and then modifying the properties
often results in expanded auto-wrap limits, inconsistent note
spacing and poorly aligned notes. Shown below are additional Text
standards
1. In General, virtually all text should be placed as MText rather
than DText. DText should only be used as single line text that
needs to be placed at an exact point.
2. All Multi-line text for notes i.e. construction notes, should be
Left Top Justified. Where notes are numbered, the note number
should be a separate piece of MText and is to be Right Top
justified (see example).
3. The spacing between notes is to be uniform and at least 1.5
times the text height
4. In order to best take advantage of the Auto-wrap feature of
MText, Line Breaks (Hard returns) are not to be used unless a note
needs to be formatted a specific way (see example). Notes with Hard
Returns will not autowrap!
5. MText limits (initial two corners defined) are to be only as
long as needed. 6. If you encounter multiple lines of DText,
convert them to a single MText
entity using the Express Tool Convert Text to MText, adjust grips
as necessary.

DIMENSION STYLES
DIMENSION STYLES
General Guidelines
1. Use the CITY OF ANAHEIM dimension styles. The City of Anaheim
dimension styles are embedded in the AutoCAD template files (as
long as you begin a project with a COA Template). If not they can
be inserted directly through Design Center.
2. All dimensions are to be placed on the TEXT layer.
Do not create a separate layer for dimensions.
3. Extension lines, dimension lines and leader lines are forced to
Yellow (color 2) in decimal unit files.
4. All dimension text must be style Romans, Green (color 3) and .1
in size
(Paper Space) or corresponding scale size (model space; i.e. 40
scale text Ht=4, 20 scale text Ht=2, etc). If larger text is
needed, create a new style with the new size or key-in DIMTXT and
enter the new text size (Text size should be in .05 increments),
this will create an unnamed style and will not affect any existing
styles.
5. Do not edit an existing dimension style. All dimensions already
placed
with that style will change if edited. If another function is
needed, Save an existing style to a new name and then change the
necessary parameters and Save again.
6. The Associative Dimensioning Variable - DIMASO (1) must be on in
order
to place or edit a dimension as a single entity.
7. Do NOT Explode a dimension unless absolutely necessary. With the
Explode command, dimensions will explode to layer zero and will no
longer be associative. If a dimension must be exploded, use the
Extended Explode lisp routine in the Bonus menu and explode it to
the text layer. Change the dimension lines back to yellow.

COLORS
COLORS
The color of an object determines how thick it will plot, it is
very important that the proper color is used to maintain uniformity
from plot to plot and project to project. For a detailed list of
color/pen settings, see Plotting (Section 12). General
Guidelines
1. Colors 1 thru 7 represent the solid or black pens from thinnest
(color 1) to thickest (color 7).
2. Colors 9 thru 15 represent the screened or grey pens from
thinnest (color
9) to thickest (color 15).
3. Color 8 is a non-plot color.
4. Colors other than 1 thru 15, 43 & 251 thru 255 are not
allowed except where client requirements dictate otherwise or for
color plots. Any deviation from the standard colors must be
approved by the Cad Coordinator prior to their use. Note:
Deviations from the standard colors may require the creation of a
special plotting pen table. See Plotting for details.
Commonly used Colors
Red (Color 1) Thinnest line available (.005in). Use sparingly. Does
not always blueprint well. Use for Hatches, Exist Gutter

Block Library There is a Block Library folder containing numerous

A list of block names will follow. (At a future time) Block
Creation Guidelines All blocks must follow the proper naming
conventions. Blocks that are intended to be placed and then
exploded must be created on a specific, accepted layer. Regardless
of what layer a block is inserted on, it will revert back to the
layer that it was created on when exploded. Blocks that are
intended to be placed on a specific layer or on a variety of layers
and NOT intended to be exploded, should be created on layer 0.

on layer zero will take on the linetype and color of the layer that
it was placed on. This is beneficial because only one block need be
created rather than a separate block for each possible layer use.
Also, if a block is placed on an improper layer, the color may be
different than what the user expected thus reminding the user that
the block was placed on the wrong layer. Blocks that utilize a text
variable should use Attributes where possible. Do NOT Explode a
block that contains attributes. If it becomes absolutely necessary
to explode a block that contains attributes, use the Express Tool;
Explode Attributes to Text A block should be created so that its
base scale is 1:1. This should simplify block placement by
eliminating the need for a user to determine the original scale
factor. For example, if a block was created for a 40 scale drawing
but the user did not know the original scale, the user must first
determine its original scale usually by trial and error. Then, if
the user wants to place that block into a 1:1 file, the user would
have to calculate the scale factor as 1/40.But, if a block created
at a 1:1 scale is to be placed into a 40 scale drawing, a 20 scale
drawing and into 1:1 paper space the scales would be 40, 20, and 1
respectively. Having the same BASE scale for all blocks simplifies
their placement.

CONSTRUCTION NOTES
A master list of construction notes has been complied to help guide
you in the development of the construction notes for your project.
The master construction notes will comprise of typical construction
notes and its language to be used on City of Anaheim Public Works
projects. The list is a continuous evolving list that comprises of
numerous construction notes relating to construction work. The
compiled list, an AutoCAD file, will reside within the CAD LIBRARY.
The file will be copied over when you copy the folder at the outset
of beginning a new project called _New Project Folder Set Up. The
file itself will be in the MASTER FILES sub folder of CAD.
CONSTRUCTION NOTES SET UP & GUIDELINES
• At the outset of the project beginnings refer to the
soils/pavement report on deciding on the pavement language
notes.
• Begin with the compiled list of construction notes and delete
and/or modify any notes not pertaining to your project and
re-number accordingly.
• Consult with managers on a preliminary set of construction notes
prior to
beginning the bulk of the design work.
• The sequence of construction notes shall closely follow the
sequence set forth in the bid item proposal in the contract
specifications and thus quantity list breakdown on the title sheet.
It is understood that construction notes will be created that may
not have a bid item listed on the proposal so not matching the
construction notes to the proposal is understood. But it is
important that the sequence of notes be followed.
