Layers Name Conventions
The AIA CAD Layer Guidelines defines layer naming strategies used throughout Digital Drawing for Designers.
  • Discipline designators are the first letter used in each layer name.
  • Major groups are four-character abbreviations that identify major building systems.
  • Minor groups are four-character abbreviations used to further define the major group.
  • The status field is used to designate the phase of construction.
