Due to various approaches to design standards, the data is simplified to center or centerline representations for storing locations in the City's asset database.Įach drawing layer in the CAD file may only store a single data type. The CAD data must be stored using simple points, lines and closed polylines (polygons). If the data is not properly geo-located the submittal will fail without further reporting. It is important to note that the file coordinate system definition and the geo-location of the data are separate settings which should be addressed independently. The second check will verify if the coordinates of the data within the CAD file fall within the City boundary. The first check will verify whether or not the CAD file has been defined with the expected coordinate system using the Assign Coordinate System tool within the CAD software. The Utility Submittal portal will perform two checks to see if the CAD file submitted is moved to the coordinate system. The CAD file must be defined in the NAD83 State Plane Nevada East Survey Feet (FIPS 2701 WKID 3421 EPSG 3421) coordinate system. In order to accommodate the assimilation of utility data across the City, a single coordinate system is adopted as the standard. On the web submittal form, check the box at the bottom confirming that the electronic drawing submittal matches the approved mylar submitted to the Development Services Center. The following naming convention is recommended: 'ANYPROJECTNAME_UT.dwg'. In addition, for the portal to recognize the submittal file, the DWG file must be named with an underscore and the letters 'UT' for utilities at the end of the file name and before the dot file extension ('_UT.dwg'). If another file type is required to be included in the engineering and design of utility assets, please coordinate directly with the Utility Services Department. The DWG format is the native file format for Autodesk's AutoCAD software and specifications are available here. The portal will accept drawing (DWG) file formats with a. Standard 8 - CAD File Types and Attribution Standard 6 - Storing Contiguous and Coincident Data in the File Standard 5 - Storing Appropriate Data Types for Features Standard 3 - Define the Coordinate System Standard 2 - CAD File Matches Mylar Submittal Standard 1 - File Types and Naming Conventions This portion of the Help documentation is intended to provide additional discussion and guidance for meeting those standards.

The CAD Submittal Standards are shown on the Home page of the portal.
