ISO 128 / 13567 Layer Rules in AutoCAD

Standardized layer configurations, pen width definitions, and automation scripts for AutoCAD.

COMPLIANCE CODEVERIFIED DRAFTING DIRECTIVE100% ALIGNED WITH OFFICIAL PROTOCOLS

Scope & Objectives

The global standard for technical drawings and structured CAD layer schemes. Recommended for multi-national projects, European infrastructure, and ISO-certified automotive/aerospace fabrication.

Technical Standard Statement: Plotting drawing layouts under standard regulations requires strict configuration of pen weight mapping, layer naming boundaries, and line conventions. Incorrect configurations will trigger sub-standard plotting line-weights in vector PDF output and audit failure in BIM/CAD coordination stages.

Standard Layer & Pen Mapping Specification Matrix

Layer Code	Name / Element	Description	Color ID	Pen Weight	Primary Usage
A-210-M	Exterior Wall Model	Structural exterior load-bearing walls	7 (White)	0.50 mm	Major outlines
A-240-M	Interior Doors	Door leaf and swing details	3 (Green)	0.25 mm	Fine detail features
A-900-T	Dimensions & Labels	Text annotations and dimension lines	2 (Yellow)	0.35 mm	General annotations
M-510-M	HVAC Ductwork	Supply and exhaust ventilation ducts	1 (Red)	0.35 mm	Mechanical equipment

AutoCAD Integration Guidelines

To integrate ISO 128 / 13567 layout rules into **Autocad**, you must load the specific layer schema mapping. For 2D drawings, load the provided configuration script. For 3D workflows, ensure your active drawing template (.dwt or .dot) has its document drafting properties aligned with this configuration. In team environments, distribute this configuration files globally via network deployments to secure total blueprint alignment and avoid sub-standard plotting line-weights in PDF output.
