I am developing Cad standards for two companies that have recently merged.
Both are or will be using Land desktop civil etc. and do similar sized projects. The bottleneck in rolling out the standard is that company "A" develops their project in a single drawing file utilizing multiple layouts. Company "B" develops their project using many drawing files (model space only) where each sheet is an individual file. I like the single file idea but realize cooperation among users is essential to complete a project. Multiple users must access a single file as "read only", make blocks and insert into them master file.
Is anyone using this method?
Does the simplification of file management justify going in this direction?
Is the more logical option to take the best of both, create several drawings and combine types of drawings into a few files with multiple layouts to reduce the number of drawing files in a project?
