The A/E/C CAD Standard and A/E/C Graphics Standard documents developed by the CAD•BIM Technology Center (TCX) are part of an initiative to eliminate redundant Computer-Aided Design (CAD) standardization efforts within the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Federal Government. These nonproprietary standards incorporate industry, national, and international data standards that address the entire life cycle of facilities within the DoD.

Engineering drawings must follow the latest A/E/C CAD and Graphic standards at time of award. Resource files, including standards, Revit and Civil 3D templates, Bentley A/E/C workspaces, BIM Object Library, and sheet borders, are available at the CAD•BIM website

The Jacksonville District (SAJ) local extension supplements the A/E/C CAD Standard with district specific requirements.

USACE continues to invest in Advanced Modeling and is working harder than ever to ensure that the benefits of virtual planning, design, construction, and operations are yielding positive results. Advanced modeling refers to the use of Computer Aided Design (CAD), Building Information Modeling (BIM), and Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) for the development of design and construction deliverables. When contract documents require Advanced Modeling, refer to the BIM Contract Requirement guidelines for USACE Advanced Modeling fully outlined on the CAD•BIM website 

Design deliverables must include the model native design files, and editable CAD sheet files extracted from the advanced modeling files. All content exported from the models must be compliant with the latest A/E/C Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Graphic standards at time of the award. Construction deliverables must be delivered in electronic PDF format. The PDF files must be printed black and white or grayscale.
