Basically it is between revisions. PDF's wont really do everything i need, we use them for some things but they wont plot using accxes tools correctly on our plotter when making sets.
I missed something there. Can you elaborate?
The Tiffs seem to have some draw backs as if i change one item on it the Acad file is not changed. Then if someone was to go back to the Acad file and make more changes the last updates are not there. And the standards here are way to lax!!!
Around here (and every place I work) there is a cardinal that is NEVER broken on penalty of me screaming at the offender until he/she cries. NEVER change the plot "manually", ALWAYS change the file and re-plot (or make TIFs). Some thirty years ago we tried it the other way and all it did was cost money. You think you're saving time, but as you're discovering, it doesn't. It is cheaper (and faster by far) to make sure the file is always correct than to pay for
misfits fit-up errors in the field.
What do you all think of layer states? although this particular person would still not use them correctly i am sure.
Personally, I don't use them at all and don't see any need to start. Paperspace viewports (and the layer control provided there) are all I've ever needed.
I tried explaining that the computer can't fix operator errors, it did exactly as told but they have tasked me with trying to fix this. So any help is appreciated!
Strong standards, compliance is NOT an option, make it easier to comply (customization) than not. Training, training, training.
