UDS OVERVIEW Uniform Drawing System The Construction Specifications

UDS OVERVIEW Uniform Drawing System The Construction Specifications Institute 601 Madison Street Alexandria, VA 1994 CSI began development of UDS Organization and presentation of drawing sets Organization and presentation of Sheets, schedules, and diagrams Standards for drafting conventions and color Standard systems for keynotes, attributes, and CAD layering UDS provides uniformity for graphical information in drawings – Similar to Master. Format™, Section Format™, and Page Format™ in specifications
