Drawing File Naming and Saving Protocol– Drawings should be named using the method provided shown below. The file name will always start with the factory order or preliminary design number shown in the PE schedule. For factory orders, each drawing will be savedin the FO ( J:) drive “Submittal Drawings” folder. For preliminaries, each drawing will be saved in the Prelim (M:) drive “Engineering” folder. All PDF copies of the drawing will be saved in the same folder as the AutoCAD drawing. The drawing names will no longer include the engineer’s initials. This has been a source of confusion, as several engineers may work on different aspects of the same project.
The original issue PDF will be saved with the same file name as the AutoCAD with “REV 0” added to the end (EX: C921D01 REV 0.pdf). As revisions are made to the drawing, the AutoCAD drawing name will remain the same, but we will continue to save the PDF files with the appropriate REV # to maintain a history of the drawing changes.
(Example: Factory order C921 has three identical custom units. Its dimensional drawing should be named C921D01and the file should be saved as J:\C900-C999\C921\Submittal Drawings\C921D01.dwg)
