2010 ARCH 5901 Taylor PDF Naming Convention

From TTU College of Architecture

PDF files will be archived in conjunction with printed documents. Careful organization and nesting of electronic resources is as important (if not more so) than physical documents. Following a consistent and clear file naming convention is an essential first step. All PDF page files should be named with the following convention:

2010 ARCH 5901 TAYLOR - LastName 1-02.0304.pdf

Where the components stand for the following:

• "2010 ARCH 5901 TAYLOR - " is the semester, course, instructor prefix.
• "1-" signifies the project phase (1 for SD, 2 for DD, 3 for CD).
• "02." is the project number.
• "03" is the section or element of the project (usually will be prescribed in the assignment).
• "04" is the page number within the section.

This system will all for sheets to be inserted within the set as more information is developed and located on pages. The number system at the end of the file name, in this case "1-02.0304" is the sheet number to be printed on our sheet template and in our index listing. This numbering convention will allow the files to sort in order in a directory or folder as well as in sorted lists on the wiki.
