As this is one of the sites we used for research while preparing our new CAD Standards, I thought it only fair to share the results here, in case they may be of help to anyone looking to start or update their own CAD Standards. Partly this is because we believe in an open culture for documentation such as this, and partly as I know personally how frustrating and time-consuming it can be to trawl the web for examples of existing CAD Standards. We have also included a Project Folder organisational structure and a project-wide File Naming Convention.
Our architectural/engineering company uses a combination of AutoCAD and Rhino for our work, so while this standard was designed primarily for AutoCAD, it was also developed with the aim of improving the compatibility between AutoCAD and Rhino.
Please feel free to share as you wish, and I hope it proves useful to some people.
