Make one standards file or as many as you like to reflect the different disciplines of work.
Note: You can also break this file up into different standards files as long as they have the DWS extension. We want to continue to work with the drawing file and also have that as a backup as we begin to create our standard template. At this time we are just saving the drawing file and not the Standards file (DWS). Save the file to a secure location on your network where you can find it-this would typically be a CAD Standards folder where you may place your CAD Standards Manual. We are now going to add all of our Standard Layers, Text Styles, Linetypes, and Dimension styles to this drawing. Name it MY_COMPANY_STANDARD.dwg and save in the Exercise 1 folder as shown below. To begin, we are simply going to start a new drawing and add our standards to that file, then save that file to a standards file as shown below.ġ. Within the template we will define text styles, layers, dimension styles and linetypes that are commonly used in all drawings. (You do not have to have it all in one file.) By setting up the template you will be able to check and apply the standards provided in the template to your noncompliant drawings or convert drawings provided by others to your company standards. On the Manage tab of the ribbon there is a panel named CAD Standards. The first thing we need to do is set up a standards template or templates. Take note of these tips as we dig deep into the Standards Manager and illustrate how you can implement this important tool to help you standardize your drawings and designs, making it easy to create a uniform standardized product for your organization. The CAD Standards Manager in AutoCAD has been around since release 9, but in my experience, is rarely used.
Whether you're a CAD drafter, CAD designer, or CAD manager, I bet it’s safe to say you've heard the words, “You have to follow the company standards!” What if there was an easy way to help guide you along a way to help you get comfortable with a new release of software or comply with a new set of rules that have been put in place.
