How to use Forums
Our forums on Land Surveyors United are here to be used as much for finding help with problems in the field as the are for you to express your opinions on anything that has to do with land surveying in general. Feel free to share anything that is on your mind, as long as it isn't meant to damage another member's reputation. Please keep it clean and help insure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of being part of a community that grows together.
We are committed to allowing freedom of expression for all of our members, and that includes maintaining a safe space for people with opposing views to express themselves. We get posts from all over the country and even the globe, so needless to say, people come with different viewpoints on lad surveying practices and processes. We see this diversity and variety as a real strength-- dialogue and debate are an integral part of the educational process, as well as an important tool in exploring different sides of complex issues.

Community Hubs inside the community have their own forum for asking specific questions to other surveyors, by location, equipment type, etc.

Found what I was looking for in the United States National CAD Standards. Thanks
terrific...care to share with us what you found?
Sure can. It is similar to what we are using now other than ours has a mask/break in the line where the X is. I attached a scan of the page out of the standards. One of our CAD IT guys had a hard copy of the National CAD Standards, he said if he remembered right the manual was like $600!!
Here are a couple of things i dug up while searching in different ways...hope these might help (if you haven't already seen them)

Thanks for your reply. I have found things similar to those, but everything I found has been regional or for a city. We are semi happy with what we use now, just seeing if there is a standard for the US or maybe Texas. As of right now we are using a continuous line with a single X equally spaced every so often.
Guess I should say a United States National Surveyor Standard Line Types for Drafting.
