  WARNING: Telstra's plans show only the presence of cables and plant They only show their position relative to
  road boundaries, property fences etc. at the time of installation and Telstra does not warrant or hold out that such plans
  are accurate thereafter due to changes that may occur overtime.
  DO NOT ASSUME DEPTH OR ALIGNMENT of cables or plant as these vary slgnlficanty.
  The customer has a DUTY OF CARE when excavating near Telstra cables and plant. Before using machine excavators
  TELSTRA PLANT MUST FIRST BE PHYSICALLY EXPOSED BY SOFT DIG (potholing) to identify its location.
  Telstra will seek compensation for damages caused to its property and losses caused to Telstra and Its customers.


Electronic plans - PDF and DWF maps
If you have received Telstra maps via email you will have received the maps as either a PDF file (for smaller areas) or DWF file (for
larger area requests). If you are unable to launch any one of the softcopy files for viewing and printing, you may need to download
and install one or more of the free viewing and printing products such as Adobe Acrobat Reader (for PDF files) or Autodesk Design
Review 2010 (for DWF files) available from the internet

PDF files

PDF is the default softcopy format for all requests that range in size from 0 metres (eg point requests) to requests up to approx
'500m in length. (`depends on geographic location of request). The PDF file is formatted to A3 portrait sheet however it can be
printed on any size sheet including from A4 to AO, either as the full sheet or selected areas to suit needs and legibility. (to print a
selected area zoom up and print "current view"). If there are multiple layers of Telstra network you may receive up to 2 sheets in the
single PDF file attachment supplied. There are three types or layers of network normally recorded - local network, mains cables or a
combined layer of local and mains (usually displayed in rural or semi rural areas). If mains cable network is present in addition to
local cables (is as separate layer in a particular area), the mains will be shown on a separate sheet The mains cable information
should be read in conjunction with the local cable information.

DWF files

This is the default softcopy format for all requests that are over 500m in length. Maximum Length for a DWF automated response is
approx 2500m - depending on geographic location of request (non automated longer). The DWF files differ from PDF in that DWF
are vector files made up of layers that can be turned on or off and are not formatted to a specific sheet size. This makes them ideal
for larger areas and for transmitting over email etc.
    How to view Telstra DWF flies -
Telstra DWF files come with all layers turned on. You may need to turn individual layers on or off for viewing and printing clarity.
Individual layer names are CC (main cable/conduit), DA (distribution or local area network) and sometimes a combined layer -
CAC. Layer details can be viewed by either picking off the side menu or by selecting 'window' then 'layers' off the top menu bar.
Use 'layers' to turn individual layers off or on. (double click or right click on layer icon.)
    How to print Telstra DWF flies -
DWF files can be printed on any size sheet. They can be printed in their entirety or by selected areas of interest. Some DWF
coverage areas are large and are not suited to printing legibly on a single A4 sheet - you may need several prints if you only have an
A4 printer. Alternately an A3, Al or larger printer should be used. To print, zoom in or out and then by changing the 'print range'
settings you can print what is displayed on your screen to suit your paper size. If you only have a small printer eg A4 you may need
to zoom until the text legible on your screen for it to be legible on the print. (which is why you may need several prints). To print what
is displayed on your screen the 'view' setting should be changed from 'full page' to'current view'. The'current sheet' setting should
also be selected. You may need to print layers separately for clarity and legibility. (details above on how to turn layers on or off)
    How to change the background colour from white to black (when viewing) Telstra DWF files -
 If using Autodesk Design Review the background colour can be changed by selecting "Tools" then "options" then "sheet". Tick the
box "override published paper colors" and select the colour required using the tab provided.

Further information
If you require further assistance with supplied PDF or DWF plans eg with legibility or you believe there maybe missing information
please contact Telstra Plan Services. (contact details above - you will need to supply the Telstra sequence number of the plan
request)

Telstra automated plan service
Telstra provides an automated plan response for the majority of DBYD requests received (currently around 80%). Requestors must
supply a current email address on their request to DBYD and must also be able to accept a standard format is PDF or DWF. An
automated response can be provided a lot faster than the alternative which is a mailed hardcopy. This can avoid unnecessary
