CAD Standard

The application of standards is relevant in case of collaborative work on one project. In this case it may be necessary to create corporate standards to ensure the uniformity of drawing files design, which would simplify the understanding of drawings by other team members, shorten the time of the project work and reduce the number of possible errors.

The use of standards determines the sets of common properties of a drawing’s named objects, such as layers, text styles, dimension styles, linetypes. A user or administrator can create, use and check standards preset in drawings. The check for standards violations can be carried out both manually and automatically, for example, when saving, plotting, replicating a document.

DWS-files should be saved in the current program version format. To save a DWS-file in a previous version format, first save the file in the desired version DWG format, and then rename it by changing extension to .dws.

One standard file can be associated with several drawing files. A drawing associated with a standard file can be checked for these standards violation in automatic and manual mode.
