CAD Standards have always been a critical issue in surveying, design and engineering offices – yet nothing ever seems to be resolved. And since most of today’s software programs either build National CAD Standards layers into the defaults or provide template drawings with standard layers created, standards will become even more important.

Whether it’s the National CAD Standard or one developed in your office, That CAD Girl can assist you in creating new CAD standards or migrating old standards to one that is more streamlined and easier to follow. We can also assist in creating:

• Custom linetypes
• Hard copy or online handbooks
• Drawing template files
• Tool Palettes or Symbol Libraries
• Standards “check” files
• Menu items that force the use of standard layers and linetypes.
• Carlson Standard Settings
• Carlson Field to Finish code files

Flat rate fees are available for creation of drawing templates and standard check files from an Excel file that you provide.

Our philosophy on CAD standards?

A CAD Standard will only be efficient, effective and enforceable if you make it easier to follow the standard than not to.

Let us help you standardize!
