1 Overview & Function

Technical Records is chartered with the responsibility of the issuance of NTG Drawing Numbers and receiving

CAD related documents for archive, for whole of Government, for all NTG Assets. To ensure that drawings

are available for future use or reference, it is necessary to provide these plans at the two stages set out on

this manual, at Tender and at Handover stages.

This Document clarifies the requirements for preparing consistent and acceptable project drawings, and

outline, the Technical Records Archiving Process. It describes the processes and procedures to be followed

by consultants, and by Departmental NTG staff members, in relation to technical drawings for all Northern

Territory Government asset construction and maintenance works.

2 Document Requirements

General Requirements

Most of the files stored within Technical Records are CAD (Computer Aided Design) format files related to the preparation and construction of NTG Assets. Technical Records require all documents in an electronic format for storage. Hardcopy and paper drawings are not acceptable.

Drawing Number Request Prerequisite

Drawing numbers are to be taken out by the NTG Project Manager. Drawing Numbers are provided to the consultant by the NTG PM. Drawing Numbers are to be taken out when the following milestones are met

PM Confirms project status and funding

The Design is greater than 75% review for Building Projects and 90% Review for Civil Projects

Mandatory File Formats

The formats accepted as a mandatory deliverable by government are as follows:

.DWG is a commercial computer-aided design (CAD) and drafting software application such as Autodesk. It is

used across a wide range of industries, by architects, project managers, engineers, designers, and many other professionals.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-aided_design

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_drawing

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autodesk



2017.01 June 2017 22/12/2017 7 of 19

The file extension for this type of file is .DWG

.PDF (Portable Document Format) is a file format that has captured all the elements of a printed document as

an electronic image that you can view, navigate, print, or forward to someone else. It is used by the NTG to provide an image of the files without the need to obtain expensive CAD software when sharing or displaying drawings.

The file extension for this type of file is .PDF

Other file types are rarely acceptable and must be approved by Technical Records Prior to delivery.

Native File Formats

PDF

DWG

Only under the following circumstances shall it be accepted as an eTransmitted Archive Format.

eTransmit ONLY when the following occurs:

1. An image file is Externally Referenced (xRefed) as a background to the drafting area. Large images like Aerial Photos can be Externally Referenced (xRefed) but must be eTransmitted.

2. There are documents other than CAD format Externally Referenced (xRefed)

3. eTransmitted files (.zip) received with no Externally Referenced files will be rejected for resubmission

in the Native File formats

For further detail, Refer to eTransmit Section 4.4

3 Automated Reminder Process

During the Life Cycle of a project, Technical Records have an automated reminder system to ensure all those responsible with the acquittal of all drawings are prompted at each stage. To acquit drawing numbers -

Automated Reminders begin 90 days from the issuing of NTG Drawing Numbers

There are 11 reminders over 14 months

All drawing numbers are to be acquitted, even if they are unused.

Design Guidelines by Discipline

General Guide All Disciplines

Text Sizes;

- All drawing text shall have character heights no less than 1.8mm when printed at A3, this includes drawing reduced from A1 to A3.



2017.01 June 2017 22/12/2017 10 of 19

Image Quality;

- All Xref’ed or bounded images shall have a minimum resolution of 600dpi. - Drawings with colour images shall be presented so is easily readable when reproduced or printed in

Grayscale and where applicable reduced from A1 to A3.

Civil Design

Civil design documentation layer naming convention shall be in accordance with DIPL Civil Standards. “NTG Technical Drawings Part 2 – Civil CADD Manual”

Building Design

Coloured lines and Transparency filter;

- Drawings with printed colour lines shall be presented so can be differentiable when reproduced or printed in Grayscale.

- Where Transparency filters are used, all lines and hatches shall clearly visible when printed and where applicable reduced from A1 to A3.

Example Drawing Layer Naming Convention;

Building design documentation shall adopt a layer naming convention organised in a systematic fashion with defined layer name data fields such as: Discipline, Major Group, Minor Group and Status. It is mandatory

that all external consultants adopt a layering convention similar to the above mentioned or similar to suit the complexity of the project and allow CAD file to be efficiently used across disciplines. DIPL building design in house layer naming standard is available if required.

Example Drawing Layer Naming Convention

A - W A L L - H A T C H - D E M O

DISCIPLINE MAJOR GROUP MINOR GROUP STATUS

CAD Data Compression – eTransmit

ONLY to be used if native format cannot be achieved due to externally referenced files.

Ensure that all relative paths are maintained when preparing for an eTransmit output. Use the eTransmit

function. Do not use a Compression Program, like Winzip or Winrar

Note: a raster of any size can be embedded if there is no requirement to rotate or scale it. An example is a

Company Logo or a small Location of Works raster image, which should be embedded.

Autodesk eTransmit - When you select a set of drawing files in a transmittal package, it

automatically includes all related dependent files such as xrefs and font files. AutoCAD users may

use eTransmit to include all related dependent files in a . zip file or a folder option in a transmittal

package. Please ensure in the “Transmittal setup” that the actions of Bind external references and

Purge drawings are set as default as per the following image (fig.1.6)

6 NTG Standard Title Blocks and Sheets

Cad Drawing Sheets

The Government has developed standard electronic drawing sheets in A1 and A3 with both Portrait and landscape title

blocks. These have been produced using Autodesk’s Autocad. Digital copies are available via the Northern Territory

Government Technical Records Internet Web Site, Email Request or as provided by the Principal’s representative. No other

drawing sheets are to be used or submitted.

Title Block

Requirements and Restrictions

Technical Records “NTG - Title Blocks mmm yyy.zip” will be used for all NTG Plans as a mandatory requirement

Revit and Other Allowances

It is understood that many Consultants are using Revit and other programs, therefore we make this allowance so that our

Title Blocks are consistent and have the critical information for Archive.

NTG Title Block can be replicated in REVIT or another program provided

They appear the same as the official NTG Title Block

2017.01 June 2017 22/12/2017 15 of 19

Joinery Details - Kitchen) The status of the Drawing or Amendment Description is not to be placed in these fields.

• NTG Project Number

This is the Government specific NTG Project Number, The general convention of three (3) letters followed by five (5) digits.

This can be obtained through the GOVERNMENT Principal’s representative. This is not to be confused with the consultants

file or contract numbers which are not to be placed in this field.

• Drawing Number

The Drawing Number is the unique identifier for each drawing. This will be raised by Technical Records. The unique

identifier once raised is allocated and cannot be changed. It is the responsibility of the requestor to notify Technical Records

if the number is no longer required as the system will track the number once issued until it is returned. Consultants are not

to use their own numbers in this field.

• Sheet Number

This is the number of sheets in a multi-discipline project. The number will be preceded by the initial of the discipline.

Architectural – A, Electrical – E, Structural – S, Civil – C, Mechanical – M

Hydraulic – H ie: A01 of 3, S04 of 11

Use of 100 series numbering system for Construction drawings, is subject to approval by the Principal’s Representative.

• Consultant logos shall not be inserted as xRefed Images but can be embedded as raster images to drawings. They are to

be inserted only in the blank area in the title block.

• Date, Designer/Drafter Name

The initials of the designer/ drafter of the drawing along with the month and year drawn are to be included in the allocated

spaces.

• Amendments

Amendments are identified in two (2) locations on the drawing sheet: adjacent to the Drawing Number, and in a detailed

table on the bottom left. Amendments in the table should include an accurate description, the initials of the person who

approved the amendments, the company name and the amendments were made.

1. Concept / Design: Amendments prior to “Tender’ are listed alphabetically starting at A (ie: A, B, C ....)

2. Tender Release: CONTRACT DRAWING Amendment Description at Tender shall be 0 (zero)

3. Post Tender Construction: Amendments shall be numeric starting at 1(ie 1, 2, 3, ….)

During the design Phase the Alpha characters may be displayed, once the 100% review is complete these will be removed

and replace with one entry. 0 “CONTRACT DRAWING”

Title Block Attributes

If the drawings are to be reduced, the annotation character heights shall be selected so that the annotation character

heights as reproduced are not less than 1.8 mm as printed. The minimum resolution is to be 600dpi.

Consultant Logos

Government requires true Type Font Arial to be used on NTG Government’s Title Blocks as preformatted. For other

presentations and design drawings, the following criteria should be met:

Where a Raster Logo is used it is to be Embedded

Where a Vector Logo is present it is to be bound, not xRefed

NTG Title Block Fonts

The NTG Title Blocks have been prepared in .dwg format.

Arial Narrow is not to be used under any circumstances

If the title block is exploded check font for compliance

Drawing Fonts and Text Heights

Government requires all drawings to be drawn to scale in accordance with AS1100.101 The font is vector based for all

descriptions within the drawing

Due to PDF production issues Arial Narrow is not recommended.

Government’s preferred font is true type format for all Title Block / Drawing Sheet script.

Cell size / aspect ratio to be 1.

Text height to be not less than 1.8mm as printed at 600dpi.

Consideration:

Any non-True type fonts used in the production of drawings by the Consultant, will be at the consultant’s risk. Any cost or

time delays caused by these errors in relation to the production of Tender Drawings will be borne by the Consultant.

Drawing Index Sheet

Where supplied the index sheet should represent all the drawings in the NTG Project.

Display in a Table View

Include all drawings sorted by Discipline

List all unused drawings as “NOT USED” in the title column

Display NTG drawing numbers and not the sheet numbers

Status Stamps



2017.01 June 2017 22/12/2017 17 of 19

These have been commonly used to indicate the Amendment Phase of the drawings. eg: (“Construction Issue”, “For

Tender”). This practise will no longer be accepted as the Amendment Description in the lower left corner is to be used to

indicate Amendment Status.

No other Status stamps are to be used when submitting drawings for tender.

As plans pass through each Amendment Stage the status will change. When plans are deemed complete and ready for

storage the drawing is to be stamped “As Constructed”. Below is an example of Stamp available on the Technical Records

website.

All other amendment stages can be described in the Amendment Description Field

There are to be no Status Stamps placed on any in drawings amended as “Contract Drawing”
