Having said that, it is only just now that this firm is going more 3D than they were used to. <BR/><BR/>I guess I should take some of the blame for the disorganisation, but I just hate the beauraucratic side of drafting.<BR/><BR/>This is no excuse really, and I should mention to my co-workers your system of saving pdfs of each layout tab as they are changed. <BR/><BR/>We do not have a CAD manager anymore, so we seem to be free to do as we choose.<BR/><BR/> It is hard to realise that revisions are like the lock to your front door:It can be left unlocked 10,000times. <BR/><BR/> I sometimes feel we are unaware of the legal complications in the event of requiring a revised drawing to be fished out of the stack!William Le Couteurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09598156261928306734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1485234105552604288.post-57916802079545956522008-02-24T01:55:00.000-08:002008-02-24T01:55:00.000-08:00Regarding revisions we put the revisions on the sh...Regarding revisions we put the revisions on the sheet drawings and saved the old revisions as PDF's. In some cases we bound the sheet dwg's for each revision. The models where also backuped regularly. In some of the more advanced CAD programs it's possible to make revisions on the objects themself.JTB Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02249678064305703202noreply@blogger.com
