705705.1.1DRAWING SHEET LAYOUTGENERALGuidelines for the layout of drawings are as follows:The electrical legend is only presented on Sheet 1 of each drawing series.Location Plan and (if necessary), Sheet Key Plan (for large projects) andsheet index (for large projects) shall be placed on Sheet 1.Installation notes are placed on the first site plan sheet with enough spaceto accommodate them. The location of the notes is referenced on all othersheets.The colour code is typically placed on the site plan sheet identifying theservice panel.Refer to the following sections and the examples shown in Appendix700.2 for details.705.2.1SHEET LAYOUT FOR SMALL ELECTRICAL PROJECTSThe following are examples of drawing sheet layouts for small projects. Thescale information enclosed in square brackets [ ] is for reference only and is notincluded in the drawing sheet title.Conduit and Junction Box Installation.1Sheet 1: Site Plan [1:500] - Notes - DetailsLighting Installation.1Sheet 1: Site Plan [1:500] - Notes.2Sheet 2: Wiring Diagram - Elevations - DetailsTraffic Signal and Lighting Installation.1Sheet 1: Site Plan [1:500] - Notes.2Sheet 2: Site Plan [1:250] - Colour Code.3Sheet 3: Elevations - Wiring Diagram - DetailsSigning and Marking Installation.1Sheet 1: Site Plan [1:500] - Key Plan - Notes - Sign Listing.2Sheet 2: Elevations- Details.2The inclusion of the wiring diagram and colour code on the site plan sheet,though preferable, is dependent upon the length of the roadway approaches tothe signalized intersection. A traffic signal installation complete with advancewarning signs generally requires two site plan sheets. Therefore, the wiringdiagram, together with the elevations and installation details are placed onsucceeding sheets. The colour code is placed on the 1:250 site plan sheetdetailing the electrical wiring at the traffic controller.Electrical and ITS EngineeringElectrical & Traffic Engineering Manual700 Drafting StandardsJanuary 2019Page 10

DRAWING SHEET LAYOUT705.3.1SHEET LAYOUT FOR LARGE ELECTRICAL PROJECTSLarge Lighting Projects.Large lighting projects are presented at 1:500 scale using the basic layouttechnique of including the wiring diagram, colour code and service poleelevation on the site plan sheet identifying the location of the electricalservice. The colour code and service pole elevation are included in theterm “Details” in the drawing sheet title.The following is an example drawing sheet layout for a large lightingproject. Information enclosed in square brackets [ ] is for reference onlyand not included in the drawing sheet title.1Sheet 1:Location Plan - Key Plan - Notes.2Sheet 2:Site Plan.3Sheet 3:Site Plan - Wiring Diagram - Details [Service 1].4Sheet 4:Site Plan.5Sheet 5:Site Plan - Wiring Diagram - Details [Service 2].6Sheet 6:Site Plan - Wiring Diagram - Details [Service 3].2Large Lighting Projects with Signalized Intersections:Large lighting projects with signalized intersections are also laid out inconsecutive order at 1:500 scale.A site plan enlargement reference box is drawn around the 1:500 scalesignalized intersection site plan (on layer “E-TXT1”). The reference boxarea contains only the basic signal layout details, including the following:.1Traffic signal and luminaire pole locations.2Service panel location.3Traffic controller location.4Luminaire Circuit Numbers / Wattage.5PEC location.6Junction box and type.7Conduits.8Island flashersSignal wiring, phase identification, and installation detail labeling are notshown in this area.Cross-reference notes shall be added to the 1:500 scale site plan indicating“REFER TO SHEET X FOR SITE PLAN ENLARGEMENT” and“REFER TO SHEET X FOR WIRING DIAGRAM AND DETAILS”.An “enlargement reference box” is drawn around the necessary portion ofthe signalized intersection on the 1:500 scale site plan. This area isduplicated, enlarged to 1:250 scale and inserted onto a separate drawingsheet along with the colour code. This is to be followed by its respectiveelevation and detail sheet at the end of the project. The 1:250 scale siteplan enlargement is shown enclosed within the same reference box linesElectrical and ITS EngineeringElectrical & Traffic Engineering Manual700 Drafting StandardsJanuary 2019Page 11

The scale information enclosed in square brackets [ ] is for referenceonly and is not included in the drawing sheet title.1.2705.5.1Sheet 1:Sheet 2:Site Plan [1:500] – NotesElevations - DetailsKEY PLAN SHEETSKey plan sheets are required for large projects extending over multiple site plandrawing sheets. Key plan sheets are required to serve as a quick reference forlocating specific areas of the project by sheet number and for providing anoverall view of the drawing sheet layout of the project. This is particularly trueof interchange lighting projects where site plans tend to become fractured due tothe limitations of the drawing sheet size. The key plan sheet shall contain thefollowing:Notes - typical notes for entire project.Sheet Index - list of drawings by number with the exact title of each sheet.Project Location Map - a small map of the area to identify where theproject is located.Sheet Key Plan - details the location of each site plan relative to the entireproject.2The sheet layout is prepared using the project control line extracted from theroadworks plans. Boxes delineating the extents of each drawing sheet are thenplaced in consecutive order along the control line and labeled with theElectrical and ITS EngineeringElectrical & Traffic Engineering Manual700 Drafting StandardsJanuary 2019Page 12

DRAWING SHEET LAYOUTcorresponding sheet number. The sheet layout plan is completed to include thefollowing:Station numbers. (100 m intervals only).Highway number and/or name.Cross street names.Limits of Construction.3The presentation scale of the sheet key plan is optional, depending on the overalllength of the project and availability of space on the drawing sheet. However, aformal scale should be used (E.G. 1:2000).4Separate key plan sheets are required for electrical and signing and markingsdrawing series.Electrical and ITS EngineeringElectrical & Traffic Engineering Manual700 Drafting StandardsJanuary 2019Page 13

706706.1SURVEY BASE PLAN DRAWINGSGENERAL.1Electrical and signing and markings site plans are generated from survey baseplans. When no surveyed file is available the consultant is to create the base filefrom resources available.2The use of an externally referenced PDF can be used as a base plan when noCAD file is available.3The EITSE ATT.DWT file contained in the drafting standards library is used asa starting point when digitizing plans. This file is configured to include layersand drawing parameters set to ministry standards.4The use of an external reference (x-ref) is recommended. Refer to section 706.6for more details.706.2.1706.3.1706.4SURVEY BASE PLAN SCALESurvey base plan x-refs are in metric units (millimetres) to 1:1000 scale.SURVEY BASE PLANSurvey base plan x-refs are laid out so that the primary highway is runhorizontally across the page with the cross streets run on the vertical whenpossible.SURVEY BASE PLAN CONTENTS.1Survey base plan x-refs contain only the roadway geometrics, roadway paintmarkings and site layout details as described by layer in Chapter 704. Refer tothe Manual of Standard Traffic Signs & Pavement Markings for completeguidelines of roadway paint markings and delineation.2There are to be no electrical symbols on submitted x-ref base plans. The layersthese locative marks are on are turned off once the appropriately sized symbolsare inserted into the drawing.706.5MODELSP ACE AND P APERSP ACE.1The use of modelspace and paperspace in MoTI drawings is recommended.Everything in modelspace should be drawn at 1:1000 and everything inpaperspace should be drawn at presentation scale (1:500, 1:250).2The drawing’s modelspace will contain the survey base plan x-ref (1:1000). Theuse of an External Reference “X-ref” drawing is recommended. The civil baseshould be prepared with the standard MoTI drafting layers. All other informationshould be drawn on paperspace.Electrical and ITS EngineeringElectrical & Traffic Engineering Manual700 Drafting StandardsJanuary 2019Page 14

SURVEY BASE PLAN DRAWINGS.3706.6The use of multiple layout tabs will be accepted as an alternative to creatingindividual drawing files for each sheet. (e.g. a drawing series with three sheetscould be condensed into one single .dwg file with three layout tabs).EXTERNAL REFERENCE (X-REF) DRAWINGS.1Only one main x-ref should be used per project. All survey and Civil designshould be included in the one file. If multiple x-refs are required they should benested into one main x-ref which is then inserted into the design drawing.2When attaching the x-ref drawing to the design drawing, they should be locatedin the same folder. Ensure that the “retain path” is not checked in the x-refManager dialogue box.3X-ref drawing file names shall follow the same method as noted in Section 702.3with exception of adding “-xref” at the end instead of the sheet number. (e.g.,18112-xref.dwg).4Set the User Coordinate System (UCS) in the x-ref drawing to “world”.5X-ref civil or survey base plan drawings should be inserted at 0,0 in modelspaceof the design drawing. X-ref files shall be inserted on layer “X-REF”.6X-ref drawings must be included with any digital drawing submissions to MoTI.706.7VIEWPORTS.1Viewports should use one of the typical MoTI scales for site plans as noted inSection 707.2 (i.e., 1:500, 1:250) depending on the type of Project.2Lock the viewport after the creation of all viewports. This ensures that the scaleis not accidentally changed.3Set the "psltscale" to 1. This will ensure all linetype scales match between thesite plan in modelspace and the viewport in paperspace.4Viewports shall be inserted on layer “VIEWPORT”. By default, this layer is notconfigure

702.3 FILE NAMES - ELECTRONIC AND DRAWING SHEET .1 The typical drawing number convention is shown in Table 1. Revised drawings are identified by adding the revision letter to the end of the drawing file name. .2 Electronic drawing file names are derived from the drawing series number as a five-digit drawing series number, with no prefix.
