Hello,

I need to better understand how I can check the coordination via different cad discipline to check any clashes, interfaces

is there any tutorials  with some cad files to better understanding??
and how exactly insert any drawing exactly in the same coordination with the architectural file?

I would look into the use of XREFS.  There is plenty of information to be found on the subject.  Here is a link to one such source...

https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/getting-started/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2015/ENU/AutoCAD-Core/files/GUID-A987D2FF-45BD-474E-99C1-E6316A42F667-htm.html

This link is to a tutorial...

http://www.2learncad.com/tutorials/xref.html

And so is this one...

http://www.mycadsite.com/tutorials/level_4/4-7.htm

If you search on "autocad"+"xref"+"tutorial" you should even be able to find video tutorials on the subject.  What more could you possibly want or need?

Thanks John.
That is Great! but is there any  exercise files online so I can practice it?
other question how I can make sure that the coordinations are the same in the 2 drawings.

You can probably find practice files online at the AutoDesk website.  Look for sample drawing files.

Re: coordinations.  Do you mean coordinates?

I suppose it would depend on whether you are working with someone outside of your company or if the work is all internal.
