Mine Drawing Layer and Title Block Checker

A mine drawing review that separates automatic checks on a pasted layer list from manual drawing checks — unsupported checks read Not inspected, never Pass.

How to use this calculator

Project and review scope

A review record for one mine drawing: title block and issue register checked by a person, plus optional validation of a pasted layer list. A list of names cannot show entity overrides, geometry or plotting — those stay manual and are reported as Not inspected.

Optional layer inventory validation

Paste a layer list exported from your CAD package — one layer per line, optionally followed by declared colour | linetype | lineweight | reference status. Only what you paste is checked; anything that needs the drawing itself is reported as Not inspected.

Matched against the whole name. From your drawing standard.
  • Note: No layer inventory pasted — every layer check stays manual.

Review status: Not reviewed

Review progress 0 of 21 applicable rows verified (0%)

Outstanding critical findings

  • Name-list inspection distinguished from drawing inspection — Not started
  • Unsupported property checks marked Not inspected — Not started

How to use this calculator

  1. Record the drawing standard and version, drawing ID, revision, issue purpose, author/checker/approver, plot scale and layer convention.
  2. Optionally paste a layer list exported from your CAD package, with declared colour | linetype | lineweight | reference status columns if you have them, plus your naming pattern and required layers.
  3. Review the title block, issue register, layer standard, drawing content, reference system and superseded references, then export or print the record.

How it works

From a pasted list the tool checks only what the list contains: the naming pattern, required layers, duplicate or blank names, reference status and declared ByLayer values — each only when that column or rule is supplied.

Entity overrides, geometry and plotted appearance cannot be seen in a list, so they are reported as Not inspected — never Pass — and stay in the manual review rows.

The inventory is parsed losslessly (tabs, “|” or quoted names), and names are compared case-insensitively for duplicates and required layers.

Worked example

A names-only layer list. Pasting SURV-CTRL-PNT, SURV-TOPO-CONT, surv-topo-cont and Layer1 with the pattern [A-Z]{4}-[A-Z]{4}-[A-Z]+ and required layers SURV-CTRL-PNT and TITLE-BLOCK gives automatic findings: two names off-pattern, TITLE-BLOCK missing and a case-insensitive duplicate. ByLayer, entity overrides, geometry and plotting all read Not inspected.

Frequently asked questions

What has actually been checked?

Only what a person marked Verified, with the evidence they recorded. Only the list you pasted is checked automatically; anything needing the drawing is marked Not inspected and left to the manual rows.

Can I use my own project requirements?

Yes. Enter your drawing standard, naming pattern and required layers, and add rows for site-specific requirements. Add your own rows (they get stable IDs), and mark rows that do not apply as Not applicable with a reason.

Does a complete checklist prove the work complies?

No. “Ready for reviewer” is your declaration that every applicable row is verified. Drawing approval and issue are controlled by your site's document-control process.

Is this official course material?

No. It is free study support mapped to surveying course levels — not official North Metropolitan TAFE content or advice. Always follow your lecturer and the official assessment brief, and check your own working.
