AutoCAD: Essential Guidelines for Successful Projects: Assessing and Cleaning Up Files

This video demonstrates the four essential steps for setting up AutoCAD files, by assessing and cleaning up project files you've been given for a project. This demonstration provides a side-by-side comparison of the checklist in AutoCAD Mac and PC AutoCAD versions.

The success of any project depends on the integrity of information contained in the AutoCAD file that has been given to you. How do you know the information is correct? Follow these basic steps for making sure your project starts on the right track, instead of compounding a problem that was already part of the file.

Items included in this list: drawing units precision, and how the preference described supports the standard text height; importing industry-standard text, dimension, and multi-leader annotation styles, instead of relying on the Standard styles; resetting all objects to Bylayer, including a global line type scale; and how to look for and clean up basic line work utilizing an example file, entitled Gatekeeper's Kitchen.
