Appendix B - Project & File Naming

When creating a new folder for a project, or modifying an old (archived) project that will become an active project again, name the project folder as follows:

99-000-A (Project Name) example: 99-183-A (Destin West Condominium)

The project number is seperated by dashes with the project code capitalized at the end. After the project number, provide the project name in parenthesis to make project location easier. Do not put comma, periods or other punctuation marks in the project folder name.

Make a different project folder for each code.

When creating a new drawing file for a project, name the file as follows:

99000A-eng.dwg = Demo, site, utility, grading and drainage plans, etc.

99000A-misc.dwg = Cover, details, specifications, etc.

99000A-xcon.dwg = Existing conditions drawing

99000A-sll.dwg = Submerged land lease drawing

99000A-df.dwg = Dredge and fill drawing

99000A-sur.dwg = Survey drawing

99000A-turn.dwg = Turnlane drawings

99000A-pre.dwg = Preliminary layouts

99000A-stk.dwg = Stakeout drawings

99000A-asb.dwg = Asbuilt drawings

Label old dwg files as follows:

OLD_99000A-eng.dwg or OLD2_99000A-eng.dwg

Label multiple current dwg files as follows:

99000A-sur.dwg or 99000A-sur2.dwg

Note: All drawing file project numbers shall contain the last two digits of the year in which the project was contracted.
