1.12 Computerized Graphic Design
The use of computerized graphic systems results in a reduced level of change orders, claims and cost of rework
due to design errors. A/Es performing work for EFA CHES will be required to utilize computerized graphic
design systems. When using computerized graphic design systems, the A/E shall create the drawings in an
electronic database conforming to the "REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPUTER GENERATED
SUBMITTALS TO THE ENGINEERING AND DESIGN DIVISION". This document in available on the
CCB or by clicking on the document title.
These mandatory requirements are based on the "AIA CAD Layer Guidelines" as adapted by all Atlantic
Division components of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command. They are required in order to establish
uniformity among all electronic drawings submitted to EFA CHES or any other NAVFAC component and in
order to facilitate "electronic drawing exchange" as the US Government moves toward a "paperless
organization".
The A/E shall submit the database to the Government as indicated in Section 3.7.2C.
