Snohomish County Public Works has developed CADD standards that address look-and-feel issues, as well as technical CADD subjects, that guide the creation of engineering documents for the Annual Construction Program for the Department. Those standards include:   

• A DWT file that includes SnoCo Civil 3D Styles and Snohomish County block definitions
• Drawing standards—an overview
• APWA layer naming conventions—a closely followed and well implemented standard originated by the American Public Works Association
• File naming conventions:
  • DWG names
    Road plans
    Survey files
    Bridge files
    Vicinity map
• Common engineering abbreviations
• Plotting standards
• Text size standards
• Public Works symbol/layer/linetype CADD standards
• Public Works survey data recorder codes
• Bridge plan drafting standards
• Sample plan examples

In addition, the following are included:

• The standard Snohomish County Public Works .DWG titleblock files
• Fonts not included in the standard Civil 3D fonts collection
• The .LIN file used to generate linetypes used in standard drawings
• The .CTB files used to maintain consistent plotting results on HP printers
• .DWG files of all of the symbols cited in the CADD Standards document
