Defining the problem
Defining the problem
Defining the problem
Common design problemsStandards Adherence• Rejections due to violations• No easy way to keep standards in• Manual proofing is error-prone
File Integrity• Compatibility errors• Multi-site file sharing
Submittal Errors• Making corrections takes too long
How does software leverage compliance?• Define where in the flow to enforce CAD standards and do it
• Prevent data from becoming compromised (or have an option to fix)
• Automate bulk changes
When do you enforce CAD standards?Problem: Rejections due to violationsProblem: No easy way to keep standards inProblem: Manual proofing is error-prone
Solution: Implement software at different stages to prevent incorrect placement of data.
• Select from predefined menu (SpecManager)• Prevent from placing (SpecMonitor)• Check/correct in batch (SpecChecker)
Maintain data integrityProblem: Compatibility errorsProblem: Multi-site file sharing
Solution: Have software that prevents files from becoming corrupted or have a fast solution to fix unhealthy files.
For example, Axiom’s FileFixer for MicroStation
Automate bulk changesProblem: Making corrections takes too long
Solution: Have software that automates time-consuming tasks, like:
•Importing and maintaining spreadsheets
•Repathing references
•Renaming project folders
•Resequencing sheet numbers
•Making text, cell or symbology changes in batch
What’s best for my company?• Survey CAD managers and design team leaders• Get in communication with clients/contractors and understand what you need and want from each other• Implement the solution that covers the most bases• Accept that it is a changing process• Don’t limit yourself to initial cost in assessing ROI• Less effort = More productivity• Innovation versus Keeping Up
Is a mistake-proof design workflow possible?
