This is probably the most interesting file (in JT2Go format):
  http://www.jlab.org/~brads/d2n/CAD_Drawings/BBS__TRANSVERSITY.jt
It is an export from the "official" Hall A model used for installation.
Should be pretty accurate, with the caveat that detector-element spacing
is better extracted from the analyzer DB files.

Just FWIW, here's a somewhat out of date JT2Go installer:
  http://www.jlab.org/~brads/d2n/CAD_Drawings/JT2Go.exe
I run the software under under linux using WindowsXP running in
VirtualBox (an open-source VMWare-style HW emulator).  It's quite
snappy, even on my lousy old desktop machine.  The interface is
mediocre, but you can do point-to-point measurements as well as "get
info" on selected components.

I honestly don't recall what is in the dwg files and don't have any
software handy to read them.
