6. Defining the problem

7. Standards 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 Common design problems

8. 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 How does software leverage compliance?

9. Problem: Rejections due to violations • Problem: No easy way to keep standards in • Problem: 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) When do you enforce CAD standards?

10. Problem: Compatibility errorsProblem: Multi-site file sharingSolution: Have software that prevents files from becoming corrupted or have a fast solution to fix unhealthy files. For example, Axiom’s FileFixer for MicroStation Maintain data integrity

11. Problem: Making corrections takes too longSolution: 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 Automate bulk changes

12. 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 What’s best for my company?
