    The standard scales specified are 1:1, 1:20, 1:200, 1:1250, 1:10,000 and others.

    The recommended minimum text size is 1.8mm at the defined size of plot, with line spacing set to 0.5 of text height.

    SPECIFICATION FOR COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN (NR/L2/INI/EDT/CP0091).

    1. Roles and responsibilities:

    Engineering Design Technology (EDT) Steering Group

    Network Rail CAD working group


    (INPUT)

    CAD Managers (within Network Rail) / CAD Representatives (within


    Network Rail)

    CAD Managers (Contractor/Consultant based)

    CAD Users (various roles may sit within this classification)

    2. General information:
    a) Micro Station is the preferred CAD software for Network Rail.
    Projects/disciplines
    may agree use of AutoCAD or other approved CAD software depending on
    specific requirements.
    b) The versions of CAD software to be used for the production of models and
    drawings
    shall be as approved by Network Rails Engineering Design Technology
    Steering
    Group, as specified in NR/L1/INI/EDT/CP0090.
    c) Network Rail shall supply a set of supporting electronic files to be used for the
    production of CAD models and drawings. These include seed files, border files,
    cell
    libraries and level naming.
    d) Projects may adopt new level names or cells within the framework defined in
    this
    standard. Such additions/new items shall be limited to a particular project and
    shall
    be agreed with the CAD Representative.
    e) They shall not become part of the standard until they are approved by the
    Network
    Rail CAD Working Group and included in the supporting files. Network Rail shall
    issue any updates to the supporting files in accordance with the requirements
    contained in NR/L2/EBM/STP001.

    3. Standard scales shall be used, as specified,


    1:1, 1:20, 1:200, 1:1250, 1:10,000
    1:2, 1:25, 1:250, 1:2000, 1:50,000
    1:5, 1:50, 1:500, 1:2500, 1:100,000
    1:10, 1:100, 1:1000, 1:5000, 1:250,000

    4. Drawings shall be produced to fit the appropriate ISO A series drawing


    sheets, namely:
    a) A0 841 1189 mm
    b) A1 594 841 mm
    c) A2 420 594 mm
    d) A3 297 420 mm
    e) A4 210 297 mm

    5. Drawings of a greater length shall be increased by units of 210mm (also


    known as
    +1): for example:
    a) A1 +1 = 594 x (841+210)
    b) A1 +2 = 594 x (841+210+210)

    6. The recommended text size shall be at least 2.5mm at the defined size of
    plot, with line spacing set to 0.5 of text height. The minimum text size
    shall be 1.8mm.

    7. The colour coded convention used for graphical elements in models and
    drawings, shall convey clearly and accurately the design intent.
