They supplement Denver Water’s current Capital Projects Drafting Standards (Drafting Standards) .  \nConsultants and contractors submitting to or working for Denver Water shall have a minimum working knowledge of Denver Water’s current AutoCAD 2026 version, AutoCAD Civil 3D , and Denver Water’s Drafting Standards.  \nSoftware Applications  \nDenver Water will accept a current AutoCAD DWG file that conforms to the specifications stated in these CAD Standards and the current Engineering Standards (Engineering Standards) . A PDF file of the final plot shall accompany the DWG file, as applicable. If Denver Water implements a new version of the AutoCAD software, the documents posted on the Denver Water website , the CAD Standards , and the Engineering Standards will be updated to reflect applicable changes.  \nIf submittals are created using a program other than AutoCAD , the submitter shall convert them to a plain (no proxy) current AutoCAD DWG file of Denver Water’s current version (or up to three prior releases) . Contact Denver Water’s Engineering Operations Manager in Engineering if you are using a newer version than Denver Water’s current version. Denver Water reserves the right to decline any submittal due to incompatibility issues including, but not limited to, corrupt files.  \nDenver Water Engineering  \n• Work performed by Distribution Engineering includes the design of main improvement and replacement projects under the City Pipe program, plan review under the Plan Review process , and associated asbuilt drawings (see Section 1 : Main Extensions) .  \n• Work performed by Property Management includes easement acquisitions in support of Capital projects , plan review under the Plan Review process , land sales and exchanges, and the management and granting of license agreements on Denver Water’s operating and non-operating properties (see Section 2: Easements & Licenses) .  \n• Work performed by Design Drafting supports the Capital projects for new and existing Denver Water facilities delivered through the Programs and Projects section. These drafting services include scheduling and coordination with other divisions, sections, and outside agencies outlined in the Capital Projects Procedures Manual (see Section 3: Capital Projects) .  \nDrawing Tools and Practices  \n• The annotation scale shall be set for Model Space and for each viewport in Paper Space.  \nAcceptable Denver Water scales are predefined within the provided drawings and templates.  \n• Within the provided drawings , layers are assigned specific linetypes that shall remain as-is. Denver Water provides a LIN file (see Support Files) with Denver Water linetypes.  \n• External references (xrefs) are acceptable as an overlay.  \n• Each color is assigned a pen number based on the ending number of the color. If the color is in a screened row it will plot gray with the corresponding pen width (see Appendix A) .  \n• Text shall be placed in model space; revision clouds, notes, and the north arrow shall be placed in paper space.  \nBatch Standards Checker  \nDenver Water provided drawings have a DWS file with the same name that is used to help ensure the standards are properly utilized. The DWS file contains the same layers as the drawing and audits and analyzes drawings for Denver Water text styles, heights, scales, and proper layer use (see Support Files) . Run the Batch Standards Checker against Denver Water layers. The errors shown are used solely to assess issues. This is for reference only, submittals no longer require standards audit report. For instruction, see Appendix A.  \nStandards Audit Report / Save Check File  \nSubmittals no longer require a standards audit report. Reports are for reference only. For instruction, see Appendix A.  \neTransmit  \nSubmittals can be streamlined via eTransmit. Files shall include AutoCAD drawing files, AutoCAD linetypes and font files, and related dependent fi","cbCaipfP0OmGqtzp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipfP0OmGqtzp","pdf",250980,"English","# Software Applications\n# Denver Water Engineering\n## Distribution Engineering\n## Property Management\n## Design Drafting\n# Drawing Tools and Practices\n# Batch Standards Checker\n# Standards Audit Report / Save Check File\n# eTransmit\n# Support Files\n# CAD Standards Appendices\n## Appendix A – General Information\n## Appendix B – Layer Requirements\n## Appendix C – Example Sheets\n# Section 1 : Main Extensions\n## General Checklist","[{\"question\":\"Who must use these CAD Standards for Denver Water submissions?\",\"answer\":\"Consultants and contractors submitting to or working for Denver Water on qualifying projects must use the CAD Standards.\"},{\"question\":\"What AutoCAD knowledge and file requirements are expected?\",\"answer\":\"Submitters must have a minimum working knowledge of Denver Water’s current AutoCAD version and AutoCAD Civil 3D, and must provide a current AutoCAD DWG file conforming to the CAD and engineering specifications.\"},{\"question\":\"How should drawings be prepared if created with a non-AutoCAD program?\",\"answer\":\"The submitter must convert the deliverable to a plain (no proxy) current AutoCAD DWG file for Denver Water’s current version, or up to three prior releases.\"}]","CAD Standards - External Requirements | PDF",15]
