Seeking comprehensive AIA layer standards & pen settings

Is there a dwg out there that maps the Layer Standards and pen settings for
AIA 2nd addition?

I would like to SEE the layer names and pen settings that are keyed in ADT4.
Apparently, I need to fine tune our CTB to our new plotter and would like to
cross reference between the old plotter and new plotter. Plus it would be
helpful to simply see this information on one big sheet.

Any advise or direction would be appreciated.

Thanks

Yeah, got the lexicon site bookmarked.

I thought the pen settings were developed from the coast guard standard,
which I thought were from Tri-Services.

The more I try to nail down this information, the more allusive it seems.

I would think there would be a procedure to compare and fine tune from one
plotter to the next in relation to the AIA Standard.

I thought the AIA 2nd addition included pen settings. Or at least committed
to a standard.

If the pen settings aren't 100%, what the heck is an AIA_Standard.ctb that
is shipped with ADT4? I followed this last year as it was being redrafted,
but got lost on who was standardizing who. I thought AIA and NCS were
merging into an agreement that bascially made them the same and were
adopting the Coast Guard pen settings.

Is my memory failing and all this is muddled by my imagination?

Thanks

 

A/E/C CADD Standard Release 2.0 from Tri-Service DOES map weights to colors
as well as defining weights for all layers. It's in the .pdf docs on the CD.
I suppose you might be able to use adobe.com to convert the pages to text
and with some work get digital information you could use.

Otherwise there are several sites (many University facilities groups in
particular) that have web pages with AIA layers and weights assigned.

 

This is from the Description box of the AIA Standard.ctb:

"For explicit compliance with the Tri-Services Plotting Guidelines (National
CAD Standard version 2.0). Use with the AIA (256 Color) layer key style.
Colors are mapped to explicit lineweights and screens, all colors plot
black."

I 'assumed' that Tri-Services supplied the pen weights. And that
Tri-Services adopted them from the Coast Guard. I apologize for my
ignorance, but it seems apparent that confusion would be inevitable.

I will investigate farther, thanks you guys.
