This section describes how to organize your drawings, design objects, and work procedures to support a project team.
Project management is a “big picture” issue that affects everyone on the team. Decisions about your project management system can have extensive, long-term consequences. The first challenge is to gain a clear understanding of the planning decisions required and the information you need to make these decisions.
Visualize how a particular project management system will work when it is fully loaded with design objects, drawings, and staff members sharing files. How do you keep the system flexible and efficient while still protecting the data? A strategy that works fine with a set of 20 drawings in a month-long project can break down in a long-term project with 400 drawings. Fortunately, with Autodesk Civil 3D, you can start with a simple system and either build it up or trim it down as project requirements change.
