This CAD title-block template provides standardised layouts for HABS/HAER/HALS documentation in ANSI B, D, and E sheet sizes. Designed to meet the specific requirements of the Heritage Documentation Programs, this template package includes structured title-block borders for three standard ANSI paper sizes: B (11x17), D (22x34), and E (30x42). The geometry is configured to ensure consistent placement of project metadata, drawing identification, and scale bars as required by federal documentation standards. The files are provided in a native CAD format, ensuring that all line weights, text styles, and border dimensions remain consistent with the established archival requirements for historic building surveys and engineering record submissions.
The download is a 246 KB file containing .ZIP files.
To implement this template, load the DWG files directly into your CAD drafting environment as a layout tab or block. Users should ensure the associated CTB plot-style file is placed in the designated local plotter support folder to maintain correct line weight rendering. The title-block elements are organised on standard layers, allowing for easy integration into existing project files while maintaining the strict graphical integrity required for archival-grade documentation submittals.
These templates are essential for architects, engineers, and historians conducting historic structure reports, cultural landscape surveys, or engineering record documentation. They are specifically intended for projects requiring compliance with National Park Service heritage documentation standards. Professionals working on adaptive reuse, historic preservation, or building conservation projects will find these layouts necessary for creating submission-ready drawings that meet professional archival criteria, ensuring all technical documentation aligns with established federal guidelines for heritage site recording and reporting.
