About this site
On this page you will find the latest version of documents and CAD support data provided by ECE for external planners and partners. Older versions of the annexes to the planning directory can be found at the end of this page.
The ECE CAD system
ECE uses AutoCAD Architecture 2018 as CAD-System.
Annexes to contracts: CAD and IT Guideline
As a rule, the planning directory is part of every ECE contract with external architects and engineers. In the planning directory we refer to the following appendices, which can now be downloaded here:
Annex 0: Preliminary technical note
Annex 1: Dwg-Specifications
Annex 2: Layer-Guideline
Annex 3: Drawing-Key
Annex 4: BIM-Models
To download these attachments as a ZIP archive:
Around layers
In classical CAD, layers are one of the most important structuring tools. Below you can download the ECE layer guideline, sample layer lists in various formats and lists of valid values for the individual fields of the modular ECE layer system:

Includes:
Example layer list: Excel
Example layer list: AutoCAD template file (*.dwt)

ECE CAD Guideline and Resources for OTI
Below you can download the ECE plot styles, their documentation and the ECE standard plotter configuration file:

Example drawing templates, title blocks and legends
For a better understanding of the ECE-CAD methods we offer you the possibility to download examples here:
Drawing templates
- Model-space templates
- For component-oriented work
- For working with line graphics
- Layout templates
- Basic language German
- Basic language English
Title blocks (part of the layout template files) and
Legends
Note:
As a rule, drawing templates, headers and sometimes even legends require project-specific adaptation.
The elements provided here for download represent the basis for plan-specific adaptations and serve for preparation and analysis. A project reference is not to be found here.
To download the examples please click on the following link:
Reference plans
The CAD drawings provided for download below serve as a reference for drawing organisation and CAD methodology at ECE.
Naturally, reference plans of this kind can never represent every possibility or contain the most diverse trades in every detail. However, the reference files can very well teach you the basic principles and rules for CAD data at ECE.
Note:
The reference plans are only available in German.
