Assessment

I would assess the use of AutoCAD within your organisation with the aim of advising you of features of the software that you are currently under utilising or never knew existed which will in turn lead to an increase in productivity. It also frustrating to see drawings with basic errors in their composition that cause all sorts of problems and could be easily avoided.

The following is a list of topics for consideration that will hopefully provide food for thought and spark debate as to whether you are carrying out day to day tasks in the most efficient manner.

How to:  

Send drawings electronically using the correct method.

Batch plot your drawings.

Avoid the mtext window filling the screen.

Automatically scale text and dimension sizes.

Setting linetype scale in model space and paper space easily.

Setting up blocks so they can have any layer, colour, linetype and lineweight.

Use tool palettes to store lines, text settings etc. for consistent re-use.

The ability to store many variations in a single block reference.

Storing and pre-defining properties for blocks and other objects.

Manage large numbers of layers effortlessly.

Allow items to be printed with different lineweights at different scales.

Solve: 

Hatch pattern scaling problems.

Why you sometimes can’t delete a layer.

A$C1234 block names - what are they and how do you avoid them.

Why you should be wary of or avoid altogether:

Choosing different fonts from the drop down list in mtext.

Increasing dim variable sizes.

Overriding bylayer with individual colours.

Using copy and paste.

Using the standard text style.
