Drawings play a vital role in communication between engineering, fabrication and construction contractors and are the final product of a design organization's effort. Accurate, easy to follow, uniform drawings that contain the necessary information to construct Illinois Tollway facilities convey an image of an organization that is professional and knowledgeable and minimizes potential client and contractor misunderstandings. It is essential that a common set of Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) standards be established utilizing specific guidelines. The purpose of this manual is to provide general guidance for the preparation of Illinois Tollway drawings using MicroStation. This manual is intended to supplement the “CADD Roadway Drafting Reference Guide”, the “CADD Structures Drafting Reference Guide and the CADD Roadway and Structure Project Deliverables Policy” provided by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT). The IDOT CAD Standards mostly relate to Roadway and Bridge design. In cases where building designs include Architectural, Mechanical, and interior Electrical design, the A\E\C CAD Standard (AEC) may be followed for drafting. All deviations should be kept to a minimum and none should be made without prior approval from the Illinois Tollway Project Manager. As of the publication date of this manual, all projects shall be required to comply with the standards and guidelines established herein. The “CADD Standards Manual” is prepared and distributed by the Illinois Tollway. This manual is compliant with the Design Section Engineer’s (DSE) Manual and Construction Manager (CM) Manual. This manual assumes the MicroStation user is familiar with the software and makes no attempt to instruct the user on specific commands. Users should refer to the appropriate MicroStation manuals from Bentley for detailed instructions. This document supersedes the ICAPP manual. It is intended to be a new guideline and is not a revision to the discontinued ICAPP manual. March 2016 1 Illinois Tollway Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD) Standards Manual MAINTENANCE OF STANDARDS The information and data described in the CADD Standards Manual is not intended to be a static document and is subject to change. Organizations exchanging Illinois Tollway data are responsible for ensuring that they are using the current version of these standards. This manual may be updated from time to time based on the following factors: 1. The Illinois Tollway deems it necessary to change or append their current standards. 2. IDOT updates their “CADD Roadway Drafting Reference Guide”. 3. IDOT updates their “Structures Drafting Reference Guide”. 4. IDOT updates their “Project Deliverables Policy”. 5. There are significant advances in technology or modifications to software that change the way drawings are produced. Any questions or concerns regarding this manual should be directed to the CADD Manager of the General Engineering Consultant through the Illinois Tollway Project Manager.

General The standards and guidelines detailed in this document are to be used on all CADD work produced for the Illinois Tollway. Each Design Section Engineer (DSE), Construction Manager (CM) and Permit Applicant shall be responsible for ensuring that the standards and guidelines are followed on their project. Existing CADD work obtained from other sources shall be converted to meet the guidelines established herein at no cost to the Illinois Tollway. Complete MicroStation and GeoPak Project Files are required at the time of Final plan submittal. B. Program Software The Illinois Tollway utilizes Bentley Microstation PowerGEOPAK V8i SELECTseries 4 (08.11.09.789) as the CADD platform. C. Project Initiation To begin an Illinois Tollway project the following steps should be taken: 1. Reference the latest version of the: Illinois Tollway CADD Standards Manual. IDOT CAD Manuals. AEC CAD Standards Manual. 2. Collect any existing electronic files that may exist. The Illinois Tollway may have electronic files of the project area. 3. Attach all Illinois Tollway resource files. 4. Attach
