CAD STANDARDS
This document discusses CAD standards and their importance in structural engineering practice. It defines CAD as computer aided design/drafting software that assists with design creation, modification, and analysis. Standards provide rules and guidelines to ensure quality and consistency. CAD standards establish rules for producing, maintaining, and sharing CAD drawings electronically. For structural engineering, CAD standards simplify quality control and allow data sharing between parties through standardized layers, naming conventions, and other aspects. The document outlines how to develop, implement, and enforce CAD standards in an organization.

Overview of CAD and its definition, the purpose of standards, and their role in quality assurance.
CAD standards ensure quality and efficiency in structural engineering, facilitating data sharing and time management.
Components to standardize include project directory, file naming, and quality checking through enforcement.
Common issues like management support, knowledge gaps, and unclear standards hinder effective CAD implementation.
Advantages include improved collaboration, consistency, speed, accuracy, and overall quality in engineering projects.
Steps to create standards from ISO, British, and national sources while considering user input and revision processes.
Implementation methods include hard copies, intranet, and seminars; techniques focus on user-friendliness and automation.
The necessity of management support, defining CAD management requirements, and enhancing staff training programs.
Understanding CAD standards' importance and their application in structural engineering practices for maintenance.
Call for organizations to adopt CAD standards for enhanced productivity and efficiency in structural engineering.
An amusing analogy comparing standards to toothbrushes, highlighting personal preference.
Thank you note and conclusion of the presentation.

It is also known as computer-aided drafting(CAD) which describes the process of creating a technical drawing with the use of computer software.
- 3. What are Standards? Standard are set of rules for ensuring quality. According to ISO Guide 2:1996 A document established by consensus and approved by a recognized body that provides for common and repeated use, rules, guidelines or characteristics for activities or their results, aimed at the achievement of the optimum degree of order in a given context.

Editor's Notes
- #2 good morningeverybody
- #3 Bs 1192India recommend the iso code as their own code Is 13567 part 1-naming of layers(overview and principle) part 2(CONCEPTS, FORMAT AND CODES USEDIN CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATIONCONCEPTS, FORMAT AND CODES USEDIN CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION)
- #5 Cad standards are basically used to enhance the productivity by using the standards,As this is our one time investment ,we only have to implement this ,and there after we can add basic update to it
- #6 Let us take an example of structure engineering office, if there are no standards whole work seems to be a big mess, as we are unable to have the files in their order of preferences. the time for completion of the work is more, therefore cost will be more.As working as a team, communication is key. In the CAD world, our output is based on how we communicate. CAD Standards will ensure us that we are all speaking the same language.1.We can easily share the data between different agencies.
- #7 1.We have to arrange all the files to their relevant folders, Keeping files on the shared drive will allow design teams to collaborate more easily on projects, and will provide access to the files for others.2.We have to provide proper naming convention 3.Layers are used to control the visibility and to manage and communicate CAD file DATA. Layer names are used to represent the nature of the structurePlot stamp-Drawing nameDevice nameLayout namePaper size a4 -21 x 29.7 cm a3-29.7x 42Date and timePlot scaleLogin name
- #8 Project directory should be like this.where 00-0000 represent First 00 represent the project prefix(project name)Next 00 represent discipline (survey ,structure engineering drawing)And the next 00 represent the serial number of the file
- #9 Automation-Force layer change for specific itemsAs their are rules regarding driving the vehicle, and to enforce them ,police is theirIf we violate any rule can make us penalty,.RsearchpperexmlQuality assurance system-we have one department for maintaining the quality of cad standards throughout our project.If any one found not obeying cad standards ,he is to be fined with penalty.Name and shame-any one found guilty ,should be highlighted and forced with penalty.
- #10 1.Senior don’t have the knowledge about the benefit, in case of time and money2,we know that little knowledge is always risky, same is the case here, if you have little/no knowledge we cant find cad standards much effective.
- #11 Colabortin-create digital files that are easier to share. Consistency-Create better looking plans that are easy to read and understandSpeed -Accelerate drawing production and increase volume of output.Accuracy-Clarity in the plans allows you to find errors sooner. Reduce our liability.Quality-Create a better product. A better design. Better, faster, and cheaper
- #13 Goal –achieving cad standards in our institutuion.Scope-it should be like a guide for developing architectural, engineering, and landscape CAD drawings for project and standard plan documents.
- #16 Consistent-constt performanceFlexible-make all use easily
- #17 Design centre- cnrtl +2
- #18 MAKE BOOKMARK HERE TO EXPLAIN THE POINT
- #19 Liability-take theresposbilty for standardsProductivity- incresase the productionCost-
- #24 I want to say that cad standards are very effective in use
