Hi all, I am hoping I might be able to get some advice and utilise the experience of those who have setup standards before.
Brief summary:
- I recently joined a new company and have to learn Civil 3D, this is going slowly so far so I will have other questions about this probably
I am familiar with other civil engineering design software as well as AutoCad.
- This company has standards for AutoCad (which need to be updated though) although has no standards for AutoCad Civil 3D and currently all users do what they want with significant variations in styles and processes.
- It is my job to oversee the (Australian) engineering CAD department, which includes updating the Autocad standards and establishing Civil 3D standards.
AutoCad standards are not an issue, I can work with those fine. Civil 3D is where I need tips on the 'best practices' so to speak.
First off, I have downloaded the Australian/New Zealand template packs on which to build the template(s). Do most firms use a single template that contains everything or do you use multiple templates such as a template for rural roads, a template for suburban/subdivision roads etc?
