#CAD Standards
Rick (and anyone else):
I'm in the initial stages of planning for a drawing audit program which
would "check" a group of drawings for compliance with company CAD
standards.
As I see it, it is virtually impossible to truely check a file for
compliance; I see this program acting to "raise a flag" on potential
problem files.
At the very minimum, it would validate layer names, text styles and
linetypes, probably checking against an external file. I MAY also go as
far as doing some sort of rudimentary entity-to-file size ratio reporting,
check for inappropriate entities on certain layers (LINES on layer TEXT,
for example), or limits/scale checking (to verify reasonable numbers).
I'm curious though. I haven't seen any such product on the market, and I'm
wondering if it's out there but I'm just missing it.
What was your goal with DWGDUMP? Does anyone else have any experience
developing similar procedures and/or programs? Am I missing some critical
items to check?
I'd be willing to share the results of my work, but don't want to reinvent
the wheel.
Thanks,
Jeff Hester
