â– To transmit the project to an external subcontractor, the CAD manager
creates an e-transmit package containing all project drawing files, standards
drawings, and standard catalogs, as well as the standard Content Browser
library. The subcontractor unzips the package to access these standard
objects for use on the subcontracted design work.
â– The CAD manager wants to create a hierarchical structure for standards.
Some standards are specific to the project, whereas others are specific to a
customer or general company standards. By placing different standards
drawings in different locations, some can be copied and overwritten for a
specific project, whereas others are referenced from a central location and
are read-only.
Prerequisites for Working with Project Standards
The following points need to be taken into consideration to work efficiently
with the project standards feature:
â– Project standards can be used only with projects. A drawing must be part
of a project to be synchronized with project standards. Project standards
cannot be applied to standalone drawings. You can copy standard styles
and display settings into standalone drawings, but they will not be
synchronized when the standards change.
â– Project standards can be distributed among multiple standards drawings,
if desired. However, there can be only one drawing that is designated for
the display settings in a project.
â– Project standards can be stored in DWG, DWT, and DWS files.
â– AutoCAD standards for layers, text styles, linetypes, and AutoCAD
dimension styles must be placed in DWS files.
â– Demand loading needs to be enabled for working with project standards.
The XLOADCTL system variable must be set to 2 (default value).
Setting up Standards in a Project
You can define one or more files to use as the source for standard styles and
display settings. You can also specify options for synchronizing the styles and
display settings with the standards. Additionally, you can set up DWS files for
AutoCAD layers, dimension styles, text styles, and linetypes.
