For the sanity of future users of your drawings and more importantly co-workers that may be helping on a project in the future. There are very few things that are more frustrating than receiving an AutoCAD drawing where the majority of the objects/text are on the layer 0 or generic and undescriptive layers.
It’s a good habit and practice when drawing in model space to create your objects and designs in full scale (1:1) any scaling and sizing for drawings/sheets can be done in layout space using viewports at specific scales.
Making it very easy to consistently produce a high quality and repeatable product for your client.I have title block templates available for download here to help get you started. Ideally, one that includes all of your company/personal text styles, layers, dims, title blocks, blocks, etc… By using the same of one of a few templates you save a ton of time right from the beginning but you also begin to standardize your drawings. It’s always good practice to start each of your new drawings with a template. I typically use Civil 3D and find the same principals to apply the majority of the time. The purpose of the tweet was to give easy actions that can instantly improve the overall quality of your drawings in not only AutoCAD but the majority of the various CAD platforms and versions. Let’s take a look at the 8 different points and expand a little bit on each one. Here is the Tweet I mentioned, please feel free to share it if you find this post helpful I wanted to share it here and also expand on some of the points I mentioned since there is only so much info you can share in a tweet:) If you happen to follow me on twitter already ( you may have seen a tweet I sent out recently that seemed to resonate with a lot of fellow AutoCAD users.
