Use this procedure to configure project standards. The Project Standards feature is disabled by default and lets you establish, maintain and synchronize standards across all drawings in an AutoCAD Architecture toolset project. Project standards include standard styles, display settings, and AutoCAD standards that are used across all project drawings. Standard styles and display settings are specified in one or more standards drawings associated with the project. Project drawings can then be synchronized with these standards throughout the project life cycle, either automatically, or on demand.
The AutoCAD Architecture toolset Project Standards feature integrates the AutoCAD Standards checker, allowing you to set up one or more DWS files for AutoCAD components. AutoCAD components that can be included in a standards check are:
- AutoCAD dimension styles
- AutoCAD layers
- Text styles
- Linetypes
In the Configure AEC Project Standards dialog box, you define which drawings to use as the source for standard styles and display settings, which drawings to use as the source for AutoCAD layers, dimension styles, text styles, and layers, and how to synchronize the standards in the project.
