AutoCAD Standards
The Project Standards feature integrates the AutoCAD Standards checker,
allowing the user to set up one or more DWS files for AutoCAD components.
AutoCAD components that can be included in a standards check are:
â–  AutoCAD dimension styles
â–  AutoCAD layers
â–  Text styles
â–  Linetypes
When you set up AutoCAD standards, a CHX batch checker file is created for
the project. The CHX file contains all project drawings as drawings to be
checked, and all specified DWS files as drawings to check against. You can
run this batch file for checking the whole project, or check individual project
drawings manually. For more information, see Synchronizing a Project with
AutoCAD Standards on page 652 and Synchronizing a Project Drawing with
AutoCAD Standards on page 653.
Standard Tools
Standard styles can be organized and accessed through tools. You can define
project tool palettes and a project library in Content Browser for quick and
easy access. For detailed information, see Setting up Standard Tools in a Project
on page 608.
Project Tool Palette Group
You can define a project tool palette group containing standard project styles.
You can choose between defining a shared tool palette group on a network
location, or a copy of the project tool palette group on the local users’
machines.
Standard Content Browser Library
An icon now appears on the Project Navigator Palette to launch the Content
Browser. You can set a custom Content Browser library that is opened by
default when Content Browser is started from the Project Navigator. With the
possibility of creating tool catalogs from existing drawings, as described in
Creating a Project Standards Tool Catalog on page 612, it is now easy to create
standard tools and catalogs for a project.
