1 M E M O TO: cadd Users FROM: cadd Committee; Ron Henke (chairperson), Jon Collado, Diane Gunsch, Nancy Horner, Diane Laub, DeLane Meier, Brian Raschke and Joyce Schmidt (secretary) DATE: July 26, 2007 SUBJECT: cadd Standards Implementation The North Dakota Department of Transportation ( NDDOT ) wants to stress the importance of following the cadd Standards . These Standards increase the readability and consistency of design plans. When the format is consistent, readers can find information quicker and a standard level of professionalism is met and maintained. cadd Standards are also needed for automation.

2 cadd Standards allow applications such as MicroStation and GEOPAK to work together. cadd tools and settings can be adjusted for one particular way of drawing and designing. These tools can be set up once and used on multiple projects. In order to make the most of these tools, the cadd Standards need to be used. The NDDOT is expecting full implementation of the Standards . The cadd Standards must be followed. If you are having difficulties applying the cadd Standards to a particular task, please contact the cadd Specialist or a cadd Standards Representative. 20/jdc cadd Standards TABLE OF CONTENTS April 2018 Support Manuals and (Nov 17).
