i work at this engineering company and we have civil and they just added me and my boss...as structural. so basically the civil department has been here first. as soon as i was hired i knew that there has not been any cad standards and everything from files to layers was not in order. so now im setting up cad standards for a structural department. but i have to be crossed trained with civil. i have all my standards up now...but civil, they sort of jump around with layers and their drawings dont seem too look consistent. the civil department has 3 guys who draft differently, its driving me nuts trying to help them out. all 3 of them agreed to do their civil drafting their own way and hope to put out quality work. when i help them i get so freakin confused and i tell them to standardize their work or no body can help you when youre in need of an extra hand. this has been goin on for ever since ive been hired.....how the heck am i gonna get these people to standardize...to me..i beleive that with a standard....given the same sketch to 4 drafters.....all 4 drafters will cad it the same way...and it will plot and look the same way.
i just wanted to let this out...because im so dam mad...
-btw. mark...what happened to "thebigswamp"?
