ADT
Standards List
Here is my
list of items that should be included in your ADT Standards
guideline. While this list appears comprehensive, it may
not be exhaustive. When creating or reviewing your ADT
guidelines you should take into account all if the items below.
Each item
should be addressed, but some of these will require many more
words than others. Some may only need a line item, others
may need multiple pages. Some items may need greater
attention based on your company needs. If there is an area
that tends to be a problem, then spend more time defining it.
If you are using only AutoCAD - then remove the topics that are
not applicable.
Pictures tell
a better story than words a lot of times. Use as many
screen captures as you can.n.
Generally
you want to put your guideline in the order that it will be
needed as the project progresses.
