CAD-1 Presents - AutoCAD Drawing Standards

For as long as AutoCAD has been around, individuals have been developing their preferred system for layer naming conventions, color and linetype assignment, and text or dimension style creation. Now, companies have discovered that their methodology of having no specified standards is not a good practice and they are starting to adopt said standards. Join Michael Calkins, RA, as he introduces how to establish Drawing standards as well as showing off the tools for checking and adhering to defined standards.

This was exactly what is have been looking for!  I am new to a firm, and we have a different file that we literally open and save as something different for everything that we work on i.e.  Master plan, planting plans, grading plans, and so on.  I am definitely going to try to incorporate this.  I am so tired of messing around with the "styles" of dimensions, text and everything else and eating away at my day before i really even get going on a project!!  Thanks again!

Very useful! I am hoping I can get my company to start using a company CAD standard. This is a great way to quickly conform our files. Thank you!
