ISO 128 / 13567 Layer Rules in Autodesk Inventor
Standardized layer configurations, pen width definitions, and automation scripts for Autodesk Inventor.
Scope & Objectives
The global standard for technical drawings and structured CAD layer schemes. Recommended for multi-national projects, European infrastructure, and ISO-certified automotive/aerospace fabrication.
Standard Layer & Pen Mapping Specification Matrix
| Layer Code | Name / Element | Description | Color ID | Pen Weight | Primary Usage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A-210-M | Exterior Wall Model | Structural exterior load-bearing walls | 7 (White) | 0.50 mm | Major outlines |
| A-240-M | Interior Doors | Door leaf and swing details | 3 (Green) | 0.25 mm | Fine detail features |
| A-900-T | Dimensions & Labels | Text annotations and dimension lines | 2 (Yellow) | 0.35 mm | General annotations |
| M-510-M | HVAC Ductwork | Supply and exhaust ventilation ducts | 1 (Red) | 0.35 mm | Mechanical equipment |
Autodesk Inventor Integration Guidelines
To integrate ISO 128 / 13567 layout rules into **Autodesk-inventor**, you must load the specific layer schema mapping. For 2D drawings, load the provided configuration script. For 3D workflows, ensure your active drawing template (.dwt or .dot) has its document drafting properties aligned with this configuration. In team environments, distribute this configuration files globally via network deployments to secure total blueprint alignment and avoid sub-standard plotting line-weights in PDF output.
