This document provides guidelines for civil engineering drawing practices in 3 chapters:
1. Structural drawing conventions - Defines scales, views, dimensions, and other structural drawing standards.
2. Drawing components - Details various drawing elements like lines, dimensions, symbols and annotations.
3. CAD drafting - Discusses computer-aided drafting techniques, templates, layers and other digital drafting practices.
The document establishes standards for civil engineering drawings to ensure consistency and clarity across projects. It covers topics like drawing layouts, line weights, dimensioning, modeling and documentation. Adherence to the guidelines will result in structural drawings that effectively communicate engineering design information.
