Background: So, I’ve started a new job in the newly created position of Designer/AutoCAD operator/manager. This company hasn’t used AutoCAD before to create its drawings. They purchase AutoCAD 2016 and no one even opened the software before I started. So now, 3 weeks in. I’ve spent this time created templates and standards. (I’ve always worked for corporate America where these things were done.) Right now it’s just me with one license, but if I pull this off and the company grows, I will be in charge of others someday. Which leads to my question.
Question(s): 1. If you’re starting from scratch, what all are you mindful of when creating standards? I’m working on, coversheets, title blocks, stb pen style, layers, text and dimensions, linetypes, and the block library. Any other suggestions?
My goal is to create a template with these things that Qnew will open and the blocks in the tool palette.
2. Also, any tips on documenting everything getting setup?
Links to tutorials and other threads are always appreciated.
