CAD Considerations for Project Managers
An interactive discussion
Edward C. LickIT CAD Support Manager

How would you handle this requirement?
Trying to plot a set of mylar's from one of his Port Authority projects (and they are very picky about their print jobs). Need the plotter to be set up to be 22"x34" w/1" top, bottom & right border ( 1 1/4" on the left). Can we help him out? Printing from AutoCAD to the 4th floor JDL5000-A plotter. Please contact Boris @ x3458.
CAD Integration into the Project Manual - Estimated Investment, $150k
“…Template files and standard processes for Submittals, to be integrated into the evolution of a project especially at the very start.”
“…Forethought must be given and time provided to decide which CAD Standard a project will adhere to and template files should be set up.”
“…In summary, attempts should be made to ensure that the technology we have on hand is maximized and utilized wherever and whenever we can. An integration check list is simply a start.”

Due Dates
Communication IT CAD Support – help us help you! Meet with a CAD Manager and/or CAD Discipline
Leads to discuss the check list Project Specifications for Design Directory Structure Requirements - By Clients CAD Standard Manuals – Distributed CAD Leads, Discipline Leads Assignments
CAD Product for Deliverables
AutoCAD Microstation Verticals? i.e. Revit, InRoads, BRADD 3D Rendering? Licensing Additional Software Requirements by Client
Expertise
AutoCAD Microstation Verticals such as Revit, InRoads, BRADD, GIS 3D Rendering IT CAD Support help find the experts Assist with user evaluations
Due Dates
Proposals Submittals – 30%, 60%, 100% Plot requirements
Production Drawing Integrity
REAL WORLD SIZE!!!!!! Philosophy Change – Its Data, not a drawing! Geometry Snaps – Endpoints, intersections
Production Drawing Efficiency
This work is not acceptable – at any level Geometry Snaps – Endpoints, intersections Associative Hatch and Dimensions
Standards IT CAD Support Assist CAD Leads for setup of… Naming Conventions

Standard Notes, etc. Text and Dimension Styles Standards Checking Configuration Referenced Border with Data Fields Layers and their Color and Lineweights Plotting Page Setups – Pen Tables

Plotting Template file “Layouts” can be preset for
single-click and consistent plotting Batch Plotting
Submittals Schedule Dates – cut-off date for changes
- two day buffer margin What is the required format?
DWF – Publish multi-sheets in a single filePDF
Packager-Etransmit Easily creates a compressed version of
DGN/DWG files Includes all referenced files, fonts etc.
