Here are some notes about the folders that you may need to create to hold your CAD and other files.<\/p>\n

You can see example folder structures here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Admin, Specs, etc:<\/strong> Storage for non-CAD project files, such as budgets, email, reports, etc. Define usage and consistent subdirectories per project or office requirements.<\/p>\n

CAD:<\/strong> All CAD files for the project.<\/p>\n

Photos:<\/strong> Common location for all digital images for a project. Copy them from Photos to the Sheet folders for use in CAD. Rename them per the outline.<\/p>\n

Discipline Folders:<\/strong> The various files for each discipline will be separated according to either the single or double character discipline and expanded upon for each discipline\u2019s use. Note: For Discipline Designators see this post.<\/p>\n

Detail:<\/strong> Discipline specific, project detail staging folder. Details will be inserted as blocks from this folder.<\/p>\n

XREF:<\/strong> The live, working, under development model files. All files are to be referenced into sheets from here. Schedule files may be created here also and the referenced into Sheet files.<\/p>\n

Sheet:<\/strong> Sheet files for each discipline, built from the CAD files in \\Model. Raster files are also placed here.<\/p>\n

Sketch:<\/strong> Drawings put together as examples, exhibits, marketing and other such non-construction documents. May include model and sheet files.<\/p>\n

[Temp]: (Usage is optional) User storage for temporary blocks, scratch files, etc. I don’t really recommend having this folder. It is kind of like Misc. Not needed if you define where everything should go.<\/p>\n

Inbox:<\/strong> Files received from outside sources, kept in a protected folder. When you need to use a file form this folder you will copy it to the XREF or other appropriate folder. Do not reference or insert files from this folder directly into CAD files.<\/p>\n

This folder will be broken down into subfolders using Who_Date. (ex. Inbox\/FAA\/2009-02-15\/*.dwg)<\/p>\n

Outbox:<\/strong> Files sent to clients \/ subs \/ etc. This folder will be broken down into subfolders using Who_Date. (ex. Outbox\/FAA\/2009-04-15\/*.dwg)<\/p>\n

Support:<\/strong> Optional – Non-standard items needed for the project, such as a specific pen table, unique symbols, or applications (lisp, script, etc), logos and graphics.<\/p>\n

Graphics:<\/strong> Optional \u2013 location of graphics work to be used in CAD. Copy to the referencing folder to use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
