3.0 Introduction to MDOT MAA CAD Standard
The CAD Standard is updated and maintained by the Maryland Department of Transportation Maryland Aviation Administration (MDOT MAA), Division of Planning and Engineering, GIS & Engineering Technology Section. It is based on the U. S. National CAD Standard with adjustments necessary to meet MDOT MAA needs. This standard is intended to assist in the production of uniform engineering documents, and provide efficient and effective means for management and technical data control.
This standard provides:
A. Drawing practices for the preparation of architectural, engineering and space allocation drawings.
B. Definitions and examples of the types of facility drawings to be prepared by and for the MDOT MAA.
C. Guidelines for the creation of title and index sheets for drawings.
D. Numbering, coding and identification procedures for drawings, associated lists and documents referenced.
E. Practices applicable to Computer Aided Design (CAD).
This standard is a living document and MDOT MAA will update it to incorporate future engineering drawing practices. The users of this standard are encouraged to suggest revisions or additions to the standard. All requests for enhancements and revisions should be direct to:
