When all of you talk about standards what type of standards are you talking about? Drawing Standards? Industry standards? Or what how to sit at your desk standard?
We always Continuous improve our Standards. Part of our way of doing things. If we have a better idea or have a better way of doing things quicker easier and for the better there is always room for continuous improvement. We need to cut waste from everything we do!!!
I agree standards are needed. But they need to be continuously improved with the new technologies that come out in new software releases year after year after year.
Anybody still using the same standard that they had when Autocad 12 was popular? No more no less? I guess no. Some of the base standards are there but I guarantee with the evolution of software there needs to be evolution or continuous improvement of standards.
VERY well Put!!
SOME of our standards change as our products change, but the basics don't, ie - snap is always set at .05, wire are trimmed at intersections, we always have our TitleBlock in PSpace, our Main layer is layer '0', etc...
When everyone sticks to standards, it helps with making some macros work, because I know what I have to work with in our dwgs. For us, macros save us a huge amount of time.
