CAD Controversy: CAD Administrator for Crispell-Snyder contributes his view on the CAD standards debate.

Chris Elvin, CAD Administrator Crispell-Snyder, Incorporated

Dear Editor,

Expecting users to adhere to CAD standards implies that they are producing a product that is worthy of the extra attention that standardization requires.

With MicroStation so easily providing line weights, text styles and color utilization, it is amazing how many firms are content with producing one-weight, monochrome drawings with typewriter fonts. Perhaps if we want users to adhere to standards we should be asking ourselves whether we are giving them a standard that they can be proud of.
