A/E/C CADD Standards 4.0 Template files 

Download Contents : 

There are two sets of combined Disciplines : one for Civil and Survey & Mapping Templates and one for 

Architectural/Structural/Mechanical/Electrical/Plumbing. There are also separate downloads for each individual Discipline. 

Included in each compressed file are multiple AutoCAD drawing Template files (.DWT ) and a set of files that are necessary 

for the line styles that are part of the sheet (List shown below). 

Symbology : 

Layers are already created in the Template sheets with the correct layer symbology : line style, line weight and color.  The 

line styles that are in some of the sheets require a special shape file (TSAEC.shx‐included in the download). In the 

Templates, there is a font style called “ROMANS” that is necessary for these special linestyles.    

The location for the files : TSACE.shx, TSACE8.lin, TSACE32.lin, TSACE.mln should be included in the AutoCAD 

“Support File Search Path”. 

All text heights are set at 0”. 

Notes: 

Some drawings may require a legacy shapefile called “dgnLineStyle”, but the TSACE.shx file should be substituted 

for this. 

Included Files: 

TSACE.mln      Multiline Styles 

TSACE.shx      Line Style Shape 

TSACE 32.lin      Line styles for 3/32" scale drawings 

TSACE 8.lin      Line styles for 1/8" scale drawings (default)
