Setting up AutoCAD Standards
Use this procedure to set up AutoCAD standards for the project.
AutoCAD standards include AutoCAD layers, AutoCAD dimension styles, text
styles, and linetypes, and are contained in DWS files. You cannot define
different DWS files for different components; for example, you cannot define
one DWS file for dimension styles, and another one for linetypes. Each setting
from each DWS file is processed. If there is conflicting information in different
DWS files, then the first one in the list is used. If necessary, you can change
the order of the DWS files to change the precedence. For more information,
see “Define Standards” in AutoCAD Help.
When you set up AutoCAD standards, a CHX batch checker file with the same
name as the project file is created in the project folder. 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.
