The Goal of CAD Standards

The goal of developing and implementing CAD drawing standards is to provide CAD operators with an organized and consistent method to create, retrieve, share, maintain and evaluate AutoCAD drawings. When you implement CAD Standards you eliminate all the redundant, tedious work of setting up a drawing environment. In turn, you free-up the CAD designer's time for what s/he does best: Design. You can standardize all aspects of the drafting process. CAD standard categories, including:

• drawing naming conventions and layering conventions
• text styles
• dimension styles
• drawing set variables and block libraries If necessary, you can even revise existing standards to improve future drawings. You can even"upgrade" current drawings to new standards.
• Steps for Developing CAD Standards

Synergis CAD specialists have helped hundreds of companies develop CAD standards and custom curriculum. During that time, we've developed a five-step plan for implementing CAD in the most effective way possible.

• We conduct an analysis of your existing methodologies and determine your short and long term goals.
• We submit a written proposal, outlining the scope of the project, including timelines, meetings, price, and deliverables.
• Once you accept the proposal, we schedule a series of meetings where you provide vital, detailed information about your current drawing methodologies.
• After we gather the necessary information, we develop the detailed CAD standards for your company. We also develop a reference manual documenting your drawing standards and procedures.
• Finally, we create a customized training curriculum, based on your company standards and procedures.
