As one of you commented on my last post - writing the CAD Standard is a major accomplishment, but keep it up to date is another.
When you finally have a Standard in place - when should it be updated?
Last November I posted - CAD Standards - Not Set in Stone
This post talked about some of the milestones that may trigger a rewrite or update. Take a look and see what I mentioned.
Other items that may trigger a rewrite?
When a new CAD Manager takes over. If you have just started your tenure with a firm, this is a good place to start. Take a long look at the existing standard and find out what people think should be changed.
After an Acquisition. If you have just merged or purchased another firm - take a look at their CAD Standard and pull out the best ideas.
Can you think of any more?

i find that CAD software updates may dictate modification to the standard. This happened to us with the ACA 2008 release.

I know that for some smaller growing companies there comes a time when you need to move to the next level due to growth and often organizational changes and of course more new people and that could or even should trigger a need for rewrite.
Larger clients might have higher expectations or requirements that makes it needed to act and rewrite.
