CAD Files

Work with a local designer, engineer or architect for modifying plans to suit your specific requirements and/or local codes.

Details about CAD file orders:

CAD files are typically sent electronically to the email address on the order. (No hard copies are shipped.)
Files contain the main drawing elements in industry standard dwg format.
Files can be used locally for modifications to suit your needs and/or specific local code requirements.
PDF file of the stock plan package is included upon request.
(CAD files ARE NOT in pdf format. Therefore, you must have software that is compatible with CAD file types.)

CAD Files for a previous order

Use this option to order CAD files for a plan you have already received in another format.
*CAD files are $495.00 in addition to the original purchase price on standard orders already shipped.
*When ordering CAD files for a previous order, please use your original invoice/receipt number if possible.

Important notes:
CAD files typically do not include modifications. The purpose of these files is for working with a local designer/architect to achieve the final plan you desire. (In short, for making modifications.)
These files are for use in creating the final drawings or drawing package required for your area. Modifications, adjustments and/or additional drawings may be required. Including, but not limited to, engineering drawings and stamps.
No physical plan sets are shipped when CAD files are ordered. All prints are to be obtained locally.
When CAD files are ordered, a signature confirmation is sent to your email address which must be signed and returned before release and delivery of the digital files.
CAD files are for making changes to the design. Therefore, material lists are not included with this order option since it will not match once changes are completed. However the stock list can be ordered separately if desired.
Due to the CAD files being in computer format which cannot be retrieved, there are no refunds or exchanges on CAD file orders for any reason.
CAD files do not come with technical support. It is the sole responsibility of the CAD operator to know his/her system and be familiar with the use and manipulation of these files. An experienced CAD operator should not have any problems using these files.
PlanSource, Inc does not provide setup files of any kind, including pen settings. Standards are typically office-specific and therefore it is the sole responsibility of the CAD operartor to have their own settings to match those standards.
Important: CAD files are not produced natively in AutoCad but are provided in standard .dwg format for use in that software. Some basic cleanup may be required due to file conversions and software differences. However this is common practice and not an issue for experienced CAD operators.
*Once received, please keep CAD files in a safe place. Replacement of lost files and/or disc will require additional fees.
