Civil Engineering Plans Drawings Pdf 12: Best Practices and Tips from Experts



Standard trail bridge plans for timber and prefabricated steel bridges have been approved by Forest Service Washington Office Director of Engineering and Washington Office Director of Recreation for use on National Forest System lands. The standard trail bridge plans are for typical superstructure designs and abutment details commonly used. The plans are not meant to be used as individual drawings. The designer should download all associated plans for the bridge type to ensure they have a complete trail bridge package.

As a result, drawings have become the worldwide language used by engineers, designers, technicians, and craftsmen to transmit the information required to develop, install, and service industrial items. Lines are a major part of the graphic language used by the engineering industry.


Veteran AutoCAD users likely recall a time when there was no such thing as Insertion Scale. Using AutoCAD 2000, I remember struggling to figure out what scale to insert the first civil drawing I received into the MEP drawing I was working on. At that stage of my career, I had not yet learned civil engineering drawings (in the US) are typically prepared in decimal feet whereby building plans are usually developed in inches. Though each is a form of Imperial measurements, a scale factor of 12 or 1/12th is necessary to exchange drawings inside or outside the building.


Though more time consuming, the best practice for managing Insertion Units is to configure this setting for each drawing in your project. Using a tool like ScriptPro is a way to automate the process of updating a large batch of existing drawings. Configuring individual drawings will allow you to insert drawings in any direction necessary. In other words, you could insert an architectural drawing into a civil/survey drawing, or a civil/survey drawing into an architectural drawing. AutoCAD will correctly scale drawings regardless of which is the source and which is the target.


Where I find trouble is with civil and survey drawings. Since the AutoCAD default is Inches, one cannot assume civil/survey drawings are correctly setup. Because of that, I find such drawing sets often have an inconsistent Insertion Scale, and thus inconsistent scaling issues when inserting drawings.
