1. Required References
This Section lists Practices and Standards that are generically referenced and assumed to be a part of this
document. Unless otherwise specified herein, use the latest edition.

1.1. Global Practices–ExxonMobil Engineering Practices

GP 01-01-01 Drawings, Diagrams, and Line Lists

2. Definitions
Term [I] Description

AutoCAD Refers to the computer aided drafting package by Autodesk Inc.

AutoCAD is a registered trademark of Autodesk Inc.
Intergraph Refers to the plant design system/computer aided drafting software
packages provided by the Intergraph Corporation.
Layering Refers specifically to the manner in which the CAD system separates
drawing information into separate groups. Properties may be defined for
these groups; such groups may be manipulated in the CAD system
drawing files.

3. Computer Aided Drafting File Format

1) * [I] Drawings to be supplied in CAD format are listed in Table 1. This Table is a list of the
minimum required drawing types (see the Job Specification for any additional required drawing
types).

Intergraph format as agreed with the Owner's Engineer and documented as part of the Job
Specification.

4. Symbol Sets
[I] Drawing symbol sets are defined in GP 01-01-01. Line weights not covered by GP 01-01-01 shall be
covered in this GP.

5. Naming Conventions
* [I] Naming conventions for drawings, process units, equipment, and instrumentation shall follow GP
01-01-01.

6. Layering Conventions
1) * [I] Computer aided drafting files shall be prepared with the information layered according to the
conventions given for the type of drawing in Table 3 of this GP, or as amended by the Job
Specification.
2) * [I] Layer names shall follow the standard names given in Table 3 of this GP, or as amended by the
Job Specification.
3) * [I] The layering standard provides separate layers for standard text and title blocks, and for most
drawings standard line weights and types. These layers typically have default colors and default line
types. Only standard AutoCAD line types and default colors shall be used unless other line types and
default colors are agreed with the Owner's Engineer and documented as part of the Job Specification.
4) [I] Where the original source drawing system is not AutoCAD, Contractor shall demonstrate that the
conversion to AutoCAD DWG files will produce the correct layering as required by this GP with the
exception of Item 5) below.
5) [I] If the original drawing system is Intergraph, and the users system is a compatible Intergraph
system; then the requirement for conversion to AutoCAD DWG files may be waived by the Owners
Engineer as part of the Job Specification.

Attachment: Purpose Codes Definitions

Code Definition

C Assigned to paragraphs containing specifications whose primary purpose is reduced costs.

Reduced cost in this context refers to initial investment cost, and does not include Life Cycle cost
considerations. Life Cycle considerations are captured under reliability, maintainability or
operability purpose codes.
E Assigned to paragraphs containing specifications whose primary purpose is driven by
environmental considerations. Environmental considerations typically include specifications
intended to protect against emissions/leakage to the air, water and/or soil. Deviations from the
specifications contained in such paragraphs require formal review and approval according to
local environmental policy.
I Assigned to paragraphs that provide only clarifying information such as Scope statements,
definitions of terms, etc.
M Assigned to paragraphs containing specifications whose primary purpose is to provide for
maintainability of equipment or systems. Maintainability provisions are those that facilitate the
performance of maintenance on equipment/systems either during downtimes or during on-stream
operations.
O Assigned to paragraphs containing specifications whose primary purpose is to assure operability
of equipment or systems. Operability is the ability of the equipment/system to perform
satisfactorily even though conditions are off-design, such as during start-ups, process swings,
subcomponent malfunction, etc.
R Assigned to paragraphs containing specifications whose primary purpose is to improve or assure
the reliability of equipment or systems. Reliability is a measure of the ability of
equipment/systems to operate without malfunction or failure between planned maintenance
interventions.
S Assigned to paragraphs containing specifications whose primary purpose is avoidance of
personnel or operational safety incidents. Any deviation from the specifications contained in
such designated paragraphs requires formal review and approval according to local safety policy.
Personnel Safety: Refers to the avoidance of recordable personnel injuries, i.e. burns, cuts,
abrasions, inhalation or exposure to dangerous substances, etc., that could
result in medical treatment, restricted work, lost-time incidents or fatalities.

Operational Safety: Refers to the prevention and control of process releases, fires, explosions,
etc.
