Summary: STANDARDizing the DWG File names.
I am interested to get hold of any proposition regarding how we can STANDARDIZE the naming of the DWG files.
One way is to assign a 12 digit name where:
3 Digits refer to the Building or the main context of the project, such as CST for a Custom building, TRM for a Terminal Building etc.
3 Digits refer to the Dicipline such as ARC for Architectural, STA for Statics, etc.
2 Digits for the Phase of the project such as CO for concptual, PR for preliminary, GF for General Final and DF for Detailed Final phase.
3 Digits for the number of the DWG for example 000 up to 099 for Topographical diagrammes; 100-199 for Plan Views, 200-299 for Elevations, 300-399 for Longtitude Sections; 400-499 for Cross Sections; etc.
One digit for the revision of the DWG
Therefore CSTARCGF100a.DWG refers to revision a of a Plan View of the CST bulding in Architectural Disipline and in GF phase.
Any more accurate and easy to use methodes??
