ECM Drawing Guidelines

GENERAL DRAWING GUIDELINE

  1. Drawing views, annotations & labels should not overlap. Use appropriate drawing scale and split drawing views into multiple sheets as required.

  2. Background layer shall be clean and in black/white . Hide/remove irrelevant CAD layers. ( i.e. keep spot level layer)

  3. Hatch patterns should be kept to minimum.

  4. Text orientation should be horizontal only.

  5. All ECM elements shall be annotated clearly on all drawing views.

  6. Drawing shall be submitted in colour and complete legend must be provided.

  7. ECM Drawings shall follow PUB’s standard symbology, colour, font size, line thickness and table formats.
