This webinar provides a detailed walkthrough of the National CAD Standard (NCS) layer naming conventions and demonstrates how to implement them through drawing templates in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and Carlson software. Attendees learn how to create, customize, and manage templates for consistent CAD standards across projects.

Key Topics:

• Overview of the National CAD Standard (NCS)
• Layer naming conventions and discipline designators
• Creating and customizing drawing templates (DWT files)
• Using templates in AutoCAD, Civil 3D, and Carlson
• Managing sheet templates and layout tabs
