When plotting to hardcopy you see the results of your efforts instantly. You get a visual product that can quickly be scanned visually. <\/p>\n

Finding error on hardcopy is often easier than finding them on digital copies. <\/p>\n

Do you have a method for reviewing the output that is created digitally before it is sent to others?<\/p>\n

Here are some items that can be standardized for the main output types.<\/p>\n

PLT Files<\/strong> (does anyone still create these?)<\/p>\n

Generating, storing and delivering PLT files is determined on a project by project basis.<\/p>\n

When used they should be generated Full size. The PLT File name must reflect the Sheet File name.<\/p>\n

PDF Files<\/strong><\/p>\n

PDF files are encouraged for distribution of data for plotting and review only. AutoCAD now allows for PDF backgrounds and this may be used also.<\/p>\n

When used, PDF’s should be generated Full size. The PDF File name must reflect the Sheet File name.

\nDWF files<\/strong><\/p>\n

DWF files can be created also. The DWF Filename must reflect the Sheet File name. Design Review is now free – so creating and using DWF files is getting easier every day. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
