CADD SYSTEMS PROCEDURES::LAYER NAMING - REFERENCE FOR COMPLETE LAYER NAMES by Drawing Type Date printed:February 13, 2001

The following is a list of complete Long Form layer designations, in group orders. Only those combinations that are used will be listed, as not all combinations of groups and modifiers have practical uses. User defined modifier groups are not listed, as this list is ONLY of the standard naming conventions. The list is grouped by drawing prototype, plan, elevation, etc. The temporary layers which are standard on all drawing types are g
