NTG Technical Drawings Part 2 – Civil CADD Manual 1.7 June 2017 27/07/2017 5 of 38
1 Overview
This Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) Manual has been developed to
document the requirements of the Northern Territory Government (NTG) and to
describe the procedures to be followed in the production of electronic drawings, to
ensure uniformity of both the data being generated using CADD and the data being
supplied to Technical Records from external sources.
This manual is to be read in conjunction with the Department’s “NTG Technical
Drawings Part 1 - Requirements for Technical Record Management” document for
specific reference to document management and transfer.

3 General Drawing Standards
The drawings must comply with:
AS 1100.101-1992 and AS 1100.101-1992/Amdt1-1994: Technical drawing –
General principles.
AS 1100.201-1992 and AS 1100.201-1994/Amdt1-1994: Technical drawing –
Mechanical engineering drawing.
AS 1100.301-1985 and AS 1100.301-2008/Amdt1-2011: Architectural drawing.
AS 1100.401-1984 and AS 1100.401-1984/Amdt1-1984: Technical drawing -
Engineering survey and engineering survey design drawing
AS/NZS 1100.501:200: Technical drawing – Structural engineering drawing.
In order to keep the drawing intact with its reference files data, the model space in the
drawing must not be moved to different coordinates or rotated to different angles, and
the scale is to be kept at 1 to 1.
Where this Manual and the Drawing Standards differ, the direction of this manual will
take precedence with consideration of the Drawing Standards’ intent. Where doubt
exists refer concerns to the designated Project Manager.
3.1 Line Attributes
The NTG has adopted seven line thicknesses/weights to be used in the presentation of
drawings. All drawing details are to be represented by using these line weights. On
electronic plans, single vector lines of specified colour are used to represent these line
weights. The correlation between line colour and weight is shown in Table 2.0, Figures
11 to 18, and as incorporated in the Civil and Survey Drawing Profiles. When
transferred to the NTG, no other line colour/weight combination is to be supplied unless
by agreement with the Project Manager/Officer.

Colour
Colour Number
Microstation AutoCAD Microstation AutoCAD

0.5 mm Light
Green 12 60 Pink 10 210
0.13 mm Grey - 253 Grey 9 8
NB. Where lines are required to be shown as background information or reduce density hatching, colour 8 (grey) for AutoCAD (or colour 9 for Microstation) should be used.
AutoCAD users have additional grey scales that can be used. All of the shades of grey having some percentage of screening value assigned to that colour. This would include pen 255, 254, 253, 252, 251, 250, 9 and 8 having screening of 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70 percent to each of the colour.
When plotting an “A1” size sheet at “A3” the line widths should be halved (the reduction factor when reducing “A1” sheets to “A3” size sheets).
3.2 Text Attributes
NTG accepts four text heights to be used in the presentation of drawings. All text on the
drawings is to be represented by using these text heights. The correlation between text
colour, weight and height is as shown in Table 4.0. When transferred to the NTG, no
other text colour / weight / height combination is to be supplied unless written approval
is obtain from the delegated Project Manager.

3.3 Layer/Level Names
The intent of the layer/level naming system is to have an intuitive layer/level naming
structure that will allow any item/object to be “turned off” without affecting any other
information on the drawing. Within the Civil and Survey Drawing Profile (refer 3.7
Standard Drawing Profiles) Line styles and their naming convention has been
established. These line styles and their attributes are tabled in figures 11 through to 18.
The use of layers (in AutoCAD) and levels (in Microstation) has also been standardized
and is outlined in the file structure tables. As a general rule, a particular element should
be generated on the appropriate layer/level. When deciding to place an element on a
discrete layer/level consideration needs to be given as to whether there is an explicit
need to have the element displayed or frozen, for example, when the file is to be used by
other disciplines, they may need to turn off hatching, thus all hatching should be
generated on the layer “C-HAT”.
3.3.1 New Layers/Levels and the Naming of New Layers/Levels
Layer/level names are subdivided into major and minor groups. If a new layer/level is to
be created, then the layer/level name will need to adopt the following format:
#-**nnn
Where:
“#” is the Discipline Identifier (C = Civil, E = Electrical, M = Mechanical,
P = PAWA Projects, S = Survey).
“-“ is the minus character.
“**” is the sub-types of each of the Discipline Identifiers (e.g. DIM = Dimension,
TXT = Text, HAT = Hatch patterns, DSH = general dashed style lines).
“nnn” is the modifier relating to line thickness at full scale (e.g.
20,25,35,50,70,100). Otherwise leave blank.
Here are some examples: C-TXT20, C-DIM35, M-HAT100 etc…
The operator will be responsible for the consistent use of layer/level names throughout
all of their drawing files, and ensure that the data is on the relevant layer/level.

3.5 Font
NTG requires Arial True Type Font to be used in the Title Blocks on NTG Drawing
Sheets. For other presentations and design drawings, the following criteria applies:
The font is vector based for all descriptions within the drawing.
The font is true type format for all text.
General form of characters to be in accordance with AS1100.101:1992 and
ISO3098-1:1997.
Cell size / aspect ratio to be 1.
Characters to be monospaced.
To comply with these requirements it is suggested to use the fonts shown in Table 6.0
for the nominated applications, for all text, unless otherwise specified.

All special fonts used in the production of drawings are to be supplied by the Consultant,
e.g. special fonts used for symbols not available in Arial. Company logos are to be
embedded blocks or images.
3.6 Reference Files
Reference files are design or raster files that can be attached, displayed and plotted. In
the case of reference design files used for construction purposes, they cannot be
modified in any way.
They improve the efficiency of the CADD process by displaying data from different
design files in the active file. When one of the referenced drawings is changed that
change is reflected in every design file that the file has been referenced into.
When drawing data is supplied to the NTG that has attached reference files, the NTG
require that the attached files are merged or bound into the drawing. AutoCAD users
may use eTransmit to include all related dependent files with a zip file or a folder option
in a transmittal package. Otherwise the following rules apply:
• All reference files used must be supplied.
• Files should not be saved with the full file path, as the link to them will not be
resolved by the CADD application,
• If it is not possible to supply the reference files then all the reference files should
be combined into one drawing.
3.7 Standardised Drawing Profiles
There are two standardised civil works drawing profiles that are downloadable from the
Department’s web site.
https://dipl.nt.gov.au/infrastructure/technical-records/manuals-templates.
One is the Civil, and the other is the Survey drawing profile.
The civil and survey drawing profiles both contain prepared drawing sheets, layers, dim
styles, text styles, menus and line styles for consultants to use. This tool is provided to
help retain the NTG’s quality assurance and maintain consistency across all drawings,
irrespective of the author of the drawings.
The Civil Drawing Profile has a drop down list for quick access to the block library of
most of the signs used on Australian roads. Refer to Figure 19 as an example of what is
available.

3.8 Drawing Sheet
The NTG has its own A1 drawing template. This template is within the new Civil and
survey Drawing Profiles. By using the NTG template and profile setup, plotting sizes can
be changed using the A1 to A3 setting within the plot styles table drop down.
Screening of colours and colour plotting are also available.
3.9 Drawing Title Blocks
NTG title blocks are to be used on all NTG works. Refer to Section 6 of the Department’s
“NTG Technical Drawings Part 1 - Requirements for Technical Record Management”
document.
