NAMING CONVENTION STANDARDS

One of the most typical mistakes made in the rush to get a project out is not following proper naming conventions. Computers are very good at listing things in alphabetical order. If enough thought is put into it, listing a group of drawings in the same order as they will appear in the final set can be as simple as adding a zero (0) in front of single-digit drawings so they will list properly.  (i.e. Drawing "A-1" is given file name "A01-site.dwg".)  In more complex drawing sets where decimals are used, a three-digit naming convention can be used by omitting the dash (-) in the file name - as in "A410wsec.dwg" for Wall Section Sheet "A 4.10".  Eight (8) character maximum file names are advisable when using cross-referenced drawings.
