Use
Briefly describes what the drafting standards are for and why it's important to
have CAD standards.
The Drafting Process
Outlines a sequential 15 step process to maximize CAD efficency. This process
starts with drawing setup and ends with drawing approval and plotting drawings
for final prints. Understanding this process is vital to effectively using CAD
as well as CAD for Falsework.
Drawing File Naming & Directory Structure
Defines how to name drawings and directory structures consistently. This
enables familiarity for multiple employees to use and backup different
computers. Drawing sheet names and title blocks structure is also discussed.
Building or Structure Outline
Defines how to draw the building or structure outline.

Drafting Checklists
Drafting Checklists are lists of common items to verify that drawings comply
with. They are broken down in sections for
-
Frame Scaffolding
-
Frame Shoring
-
Systems Scaffold
-
Rolling Towers
-
Putlogs
These checklists ensure that your drawings meet a minimum standard.
