Re: Company CAD Standards Generation and Implementation

Do you have Company Standard templates with predefined lines, colors and 
layer etc. In all the pauperize that are used. If not I would create them 
and have the bosses tell everyone to use them or else face redoing there 
work, unpaid, using the company standard template. I know it sounds 
draconian but if it is the only way to get everyone to sing from the same 
hymn sheet.

I have a question about Generating a company CAD Standard and then 
Implementing it

[sidebar: I know this topic should be placed under the "CAD
Management" 
board, but any topic regarding standards don't seem to attract much traffic 
like they do here]

My company is having a hard time getting organized to compile a CAD Standard 
(as well as a drawing library and CAD training) and I am looking for some 
success stories of how other companies went about doing it.

Our problem is that every time we get rolling, we seem to stall out for 
months on end, and then we always lose face on high profile jobs because our 
drawings look inconsistent.  Everyone seems to "do their own thing", 
everybody complains, but no one wants to do anything about it (or, the 
people who are interested in change tend to bugger things up)
