Office of CADD and Engineering GIS Support
The resource files on this website are the same as those loaded on all Caltrans CADD
workstations. Caltrans employees are to get updated resource files from HQ-CADD
or district CADD, but not from this website.
This Branch provides service to Caltrans users in the following areas:
- Application Development and Support
- Training of Design and Drafting Staff
This branch provides consultants with the resource files and guidance needed to complete the proper submittal of electronic files
On February 1, 2008, Caltrans began accepting MicroStation V8 format files for PS&E submittals. Caltrans will also continue to accept pre-V8 file formats. The V8 file format MUST adhere to the current Caltrans CADD Standards as defined in Section 4.1 of the CADD Users manual.
