CAD standards - what to consider

The main purpose of a CAD standard is to make working with CAD more productive. In order to be adopted successfully and with ease, it must be easier to use than it is to bypass; otherwise it will never be adhered to completely.

In developing a CAD standard, it may be useful to consider the following points:

  • What is the purpose of a CAD standard?

  • Who will be using it?

  • What information should be included in and omitted from a CAD standard

  • Media for publication of CAD standards

  • Who will own/maintain/update the CAD standards, and how often.

  • Implementation/rollout

  • Automating/simplifying adherence to CAD standards
