CAD Standard Manual
TABLE OF CONTENTS
1.1 FOREWORD
The CAD Standard outlined within this document was established to provide guidance for the preparation
of the Engineering / Architecture (E/A) Design Division and Construction Division (CMD) of the Port
Authority of New York and New Jersey’s (PANYNJ) contract documents.
This document is intended for use by both in-house personnel as well as outside consultants involved in
creating or updating PANYNJ facilities’ Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) data.
1.2 PURPOSE
This Standard establishes requirements and procedures for the preparation and milestone records
(submissions) of CAD based drawings throughout the project life cycle. Adherence to this standard ensures
that the Design and Construction Divisions of the PANYNJ shall produce andreceive data in a consistent
format. The adherence to the PA Standard also ensures the consistency of the information the information
within each discipline and the efficient exchange of information between disciplines.
The level of required understanding of the CAD Standard determines by the role of individual assign to the
project. For CAD operators, designers, and functional supervisors a thorough knowledge of all CAD related
elements associated with a project is crucial. The project manager however only requires a general
knowledge of the EAD CAD Standard and the means by which it is employed to create a project. Both
levels of knowledge will be possible through the use of this manual.
The CAD system adopted by the PANYNJ is comprised of several Autodesk products. Throughout this
manual terminology and references will be made that are unique to Autodesk and primarily, different
AutoCAD based software applications.

The “All_Disciplines” sub-folder contains all cross-discipline support files. Both folder structures for PA
employees and on-site consultants are illustrated in Figure 1.2.1-1.
Each Discipline sub-folder is divided into three sub-folders which contain all the discipline
specific support files. An example of this folder structure is illustrated in Figure 1.2.1-3.
The layer and symbol content for each discipline can be referenced in the appendices.
Figure 1.2.1-3
The Traffic and Geotechnical sub-folders contain one additional folder – styles.
Figure 1.2.1-4 displays the folder structure that is shared by Traffic and Geotechnical.

Note that the discipline codes listed in Table 1.5.7-A are for layer definitions only. Sub-discipline codes
should not be used for layer naming.
The major components of a standard layer name are defined as follows:
• YYYY_MM_DD-User Description
Figure 1.6.3-1
1.6.4 UNITS
Every object created is measured in drawing units. Before drawing can begin, the drawing units used will
need to be decided based on the type of plan being drawn. All drawings will be created at actual size with
the unit convention decided on.
Template files have been provided for both, Architectural units (inches) and Decimal units (feet). These
templates can be found at:
K:\Application\EAD\CAD_Standards\2018\All_Disciplines\Template
Consultant can find the template by downloading the support files and go to:
All_Discipline_Support_File/Template
The creation of all drawings will be accomplished by using one of the two templates provided with the CAD
Standard. By adhering to this process problems will be avoided when loading custom EAD linetypes. For
a listing of which templates are typically used by each discipline refer to Table 1.6.4-A.

1.6.6 BLOCKS
A pre-arranged group of geometry that can be inserted at scale into a drawing. is defined by AutoCAD as
a “block”. There are two (2) types of blocks provided in this standard, Scalable and Non-Scalable blocks.
Standard blocks have been provided as part of this standard.
For discipline specific symbol definitions refer 1.20 Appendix F – Architectural Discipline through 1.27
Appendix M – Traffic Discipline.
The colors used in the layer definitions provided within this standard correspond to plotted pen weights.
AutoCAD products make use of a CTB file to assign pen weights to object colors. All Contract Drawings
are to be plotted using the “PA-Master.ctb” file that is provided with this standard. Many variables within the
CTB file remain constant throughout the pen assignments, these variables are defined in Table 1.6.7-A.
The pen numbers, lineweights and percent screening assigned to the pens used in the “PA-MasterFull.ctb”
file is displayed inTable 1.6.7-B. The values displayed in Table 1.6.7-A and Table 1.6.7-B are for Contract
Drawings, disciplines are permitted to use their own ctb files for presentation and Stage I documentation
purposes.

1.6.12 SUBMISSIONS
CAD files in DWG and PDF format, accompanied with hardcopies are required at 100% Milestone
Submissions.
Until project completion, all current working drawings are saved in the MODEL, PLOTSHEETS and
PUBLISH folders of each discipline’s root directory.
At the completion of every milestone, each discipline will copy its MODEL, PLOTSHEETS and PUBLISH
folders, into the appropriate milestone sub-folder within SUBMITTALS. Refer to 1.5.3.14 Rules of the
MileStoneSubmissions Folder for a listing of Submittal Folders provided.
Once the folders have been copied, the involved Task Leaders will notify the LEA, who will then notify the
CAD Support Group for Cad compliance report, refer to 1.11 Compliance CAD Standards Report. Upon
notification, the CAD Support Group will only move files from the discipline’s SUBMITTALS folder to the
ARCHIVE server.
The SUBMITTALS folder is for internal use only. Consultants are required to submit the entire Project Folder
Structure as outlined in 1.5.1 Project Directory Structure and File Naming Convention containing not
only the Discipline folder in which their drawings are saved but also all other Discipline folders from which
external references were made.

The “PROGRAM DIRECTOR” line contains an attribute, which by default is set to XX. The XX value is to
be replaced with one of the following options:
• TB&T
• PORT COMMERCE
• AVIATION
• PATH
• SECURITY
Under the Contract Number the letters “FAC” are to be replaced with the appropriate Facility Code listed in
Table 1.5.5-A and then followed by the Contract Number itself.
Multiple stamps have been provided within the Title Sheet and are to be turned on/off when necessary. The
stamps provided and the layers on which they are stored are show in Table 1.8.2-C.

1.8.2.4 PLOTTING THE TITLE SHEET
The layout for the Title Sheet will be configured to use one of the page setups supplied within this standard.
As previously stated, outside consultants will need to configure the page setups for their own use and for
the particular environment they are working in. After importing an appropriate page setup, the Title Sheet
will be configured to plot by layout and use the PA-MasterFull.ctb plot style.
When entering the “Discipline Group” and “Discipline Sub-Group” attribute fields users will need to refer to
Table 1.8.3-A for the proper values to be used within these fields.

To promote consistency and easy identification of the people involved in the project the Designed By, Drawn
By and Checked By attribute fields are to be filled out following the next example:
For Example:
Filippo Brunelleschi would fill out the field as F.Brunellesc
Note that spaces before or after the period are not permitted. The process used to create Contract Borders
allows for flexibility in editing and updating information both at the project level as well as at the drawing
level. If a project level change is required, then the PID-CB.dwg file can be opened and modified and if a
drawing level change is required then the individual drawing can be opened and modified.
Figure 1.8.3-3
For Additions:
The entry for the Sheet in the Drawing Index will be bubbled with a Revision Cloud. The Revision Block will
be inserted including the Revision Number as well as the Date, the Description and the Initials of the person
who approved the changes. A new Contract Border shall be issued, reference 1.5.5.2 Contract Border
File for the file name of the Contract Borders use on addition sheets. Lastly, the sheet counter text "Sheet
_ of _", displayed on the new drawing, must reflect the location of the new sheet and total number of sheets
in the set.
Figure 1.8.3-4
Note that for any drawings that are added within a series (as opposed to the
end of the series), all drawings following the inserted drawing must be
renumbered correctly so that drawing numbers remain unique. Any drawings
that have had their drawing number changed as a result of the addition of a
drawing within a series must have the drawing number bubbled on the Sheet
itself as well as in the Drawing Index, since the corresponding entry for the
drawing shall be modified. When a drawing is removed from the contract set,
the Drawing Index will also have the drawing name removed.

1.9.1 PURPOSE
The Port Authority C & CP Standard Compliance outlined is established to provide guidance for the
preparation of the EAD Division of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey’s contract documents
that contain Confidential and Confidential Privileged information.
This document is intended for use by both in-house personnel as well as outside consultants involved in
creating construction documents for the Port Authority. It establishes requirements and procedures for the
preparation and submission of CAD based drawings throughout the project life cycle. Adherence to this
standard ensures that the E/A Design Division and the Construction Division of the PANYNJ will receive
and produce data in a consistent format.
For more information on practices and procedures on protected information projects it can be found on
Engineering Department Protected Information Practices and Procedures.
Figure 1.9.2-1
Cover sheets shall be used to divide the complete set into Unmarked, Confidential and Confidential
Privileged drawings, the cover sheet files are found inside the Contract Border folder of the standardize
files. If a project contains Confidential sheets then they must be separated out into their own set with its
Figure 1.9.2-2
Figure 1.9.2-3
Confidential and Unmarked drawings will be separated into two sets, for more referred to section 1.9.4 C &
CP Contract Drawing Set. On the Drawing Index sheet, names of Confidential drawings shall be listed to
inform the viewer that additional drawings have protected information. This drawing shall take the form
"<Drawing Title> (Protected Information Volume X)", where <Drawing Title> is the title of a Confidential
drawing and X is the Volume number as shown in Figure 1.9.2-4 below.
`
Figure 1.9.2-4
For more information on the handling and submitting of Confidential projects refer to “The Port Authority of
New York & New Jersey Information Security Handbook”.
Figure 1.9.3-1
Cover sheets shall be used to divide the contract set into Unmarked, Confidential and Confidential
Privileged drawings, the cover sheet files are found inside the Contract Border folder of the standardize
files. If a project contains any Confidential Privileged sheets then they must be separated out into their own
set with its own Cover Sheet. The Confidential Information Warning Sign (CP - WARNING.dwg) must be
displayed on the Cover Sheet of the Confidential Privileged set, along with markings at the top, bottom and
right side of the page identifying the project as Confidential Privileged. This is accomplished by turning on
and thawing the “GN-ANNO-TTLB-CP__” layer. The Warning Sign is displayed in Figure 1.9.3-2 and
Figure 1.9.3-3.
Figure 1.9.3-2
Figure 1.9.3-3
All interior pages within the set must also be marked at the top, bottom and right side of the page. Sets of
documents that are folded or rolled must be marked so that the marking is visible on the outside of the set
once folded or rolled. This is accomplished by inserting the “Drawing_Info – Stamp_CPbar.dwg” block into
paper space of the Plotsheet drawing containing the Confidential Privileged information. The “Drawing_Info
– Stamp_CPbar.dwg” block is to be inserted with an insertion point of 0,0,0 on layer 0 and is not to be
exploded or modified in any way.
Figure 1.9.3-4
Projects identified as Confidential Privileged are assigned a Confidential Privileged Document Control
Number. This markings are to appear on the top, bottom and right side of each printed sheet next to the
Confidential Privileged markings and is also stored on the GN-ANNO-TTLB-CP__ layer for title sheets and
within the “Drawing_Info – Stamp_CPbar.dwg” block. All of the Confidential Privileged Markings are
displayed in Figure 1.9.3-3 and Figure 1.9.3-4.
On the Drawing Index sheet, names of Confidential Privileged drawings that are separated out of the main
drawing set should be listed to inform the viewer that additional drawings are available and should take the
form "<Drawing Title> (Protected Information Volume X)", where <Drawing Title> is the title of a Confidential
Privileged drawing and X is the Volume number as shown in Figure 1.9.2-4.
For more information on the Document Control Number and the handling and submitting of Confidential
Privileged projects refer to “The Port Authority of New York & New Jersey Information Security Handbook”.

1.10 DELIVERABLES
The CAD Standard adopts AutoCAD as the “Standard CAD Software”. Consultants are required to submit
electronic CAD files in a format compatible with the current version of AutoCAD software in use by the E/A
Design Division of the PANYNJ.
Softcopy submittals (electronic CAD files) must include all information presented on the hardcopy submittals
(plots). This precludes the use of sticky-backs, graphic tapes, hand lettering and anything else that is placed
on the drawing after it is plotted excepting any signatures and seals.
Consultants are required to submit CAD files accompanied with hardcopies every time a project reaches a
100% submittal milestone. This includes, but is not limited to, PA Review Set, Percent Submittal Set,
Addendum Set, As Bid Set, PACC Set, Drawing of Record Set, etc. Refer to Section 1.6.12 Submissions.
When submitting files on electronic media, the AutoCAD drawing file version should be noted.
If terrain model files are requested for the project, the consultant will submit these files in XML format.
If alignment files are requested for the project, the consultant will submit alignment files in XML format.
If a coordinate geometry point database is requested for a project, the consultant will supply this database
as an XML file.
When requested, these files will be submitted with the project structure intact, as outlined in Section 1.4.2
AutoCAD Civil 3D.
1.10.2 IDENTIFICATION
All CDs submitted to the E/A Design Division of the PANYNJ will be labeled with the following information:
• Consultant’s name and Project Identification Number (PID)
• Contact name and phone number of consulting project manager
• Discipline-Facility (e.g. Civil-JFK)
• Submittal Date and Percent Completed
• Data Format (e.g. AutoCAD Version .dwg)
• File Name(s) on CD
• As much information as possible should be printed on both the CD label and the CD case. If
all the information will not fit on either the CD label or the CD case, the information can be listed
in an orderly manner in a text file that will be copied to the CD in electronic format.

Most AutoCAD users are familiar with referencing techniques for sharing drawing information, such as
XREF, wblock, import and attach. Civil 3D uses intelligent objects, such as surfaces and profiles, which do
not retain intelligence through typical external references*. The proper way to share intelligent civil 3D
objects is through Data Shortcuts. Objects include:
• Alignments
• Surfaces
• Profiles
• Sections
• Corridors
• Pipe Networks
Note: *Users can add labels to civil objects through xref, but cannot design/build from data.
Data Shortcut method involves two steps, sharing (export) and referencing (import).
Note: You may only wish to do step 2- Reference Data Shortcuts. Skip to page 4.
Enter the name C3D_Datashortcuts and click OK. (Do Not Check box for ‘Use Project Template’)
Civil 3D will collect all intelligent civil objects within the drawing and display them in a dialog box. Users
can specify which objects they wish to share by checking them off. Multiple objects, such as surfaces and
alignments, can be added to the data shortcut.
Check desired objects to share and click OK. Data Shortcuts have been created.
Note: The data shortcut is saved to the C3D_Datashortcuts folder in xml format. Civil 3D is programmed
to recognize these files to allow users to reference the intelligent data. If the object is modified in the native
drawing, the xml and drawings referencing the data shortcut will automatically update.
Note: The following page describes the process of Referencing Data Shortcuts. This may be the
only step users would use if not actually creating Civil 3D objects or data shortcuts.
Right click on the Data Shortcut and select Set Working Folder.
In the Civil folder of the PID folder, select the _DATASHORTCUTS
folder inside the PUBLISH folder as the Working Folder. Click OK.
The Data Shortcuts will display a + symbol next to the object type
available for reference. Click the + to expand the object type.
Select the object and right click. Select Create Reference…
(If Create Reference… is disabled (grey), you must save drawing and reattempt this step.)
A dialog box will appear to allow user to set or change object style and name. Click OK.
Object is successfully referenced and should display on screen. (Zoom extents). Save Drawing
THE PORT AUTHORITY OF NY & NJ has compiled sets of custom parts for use with Civil 3D Pipe
Networks. There are several part families for both Pipes and Structures. The Pipe Network Catalog
Settings should be mapped to the designated location for all Civil 3D users to access both standard parts
and Port Authority custom parts:
After the catalogs have been set to Port Authority of NY and NJ Custom Catalog, Pipe Network parts
lists can be created and edited using these custom Port Authority parts.
To create or edit parts list, locate or create the part list. Add part families to pipes and structures. Add part
sizes for part families as needed or add all sizes.
