After a little research you track down the hardware in an older drawing and, to save time, you do what most drafters do – you Copy & Paste. Then it dawns on you that you have drawn this before. Have you ever worked on a set of drawings and realized that you needed a piece of specialty hardware? The more you look at the piece of hardware, the more familiar it looks. It allows us to skim the drawing to look for things that should stand out. To ensure that our CAD File goes beyond the expectations of our customers, we have developed a system of checks for the CAD portion of the review.īy comparison, this stage of the review process is the quickest. If the CAD File was in disarray and difficult to use, it would be an embarrassment.
As an Outsource Drafting Service – we supply our customers with the AutoCAD File as well as all of the associated External References and Support Files for a given project. This is critical simply because of the type of business we run. Before we dive into Plan, Elevation, or Section Views – we want to make sure that the drawing file itself is clean and well organized. The first step in our Shop Drawing Review Process begins with the AutoCAD File. It consists of 3 Steps (perhaps “stages” is a better word) and is designed to provide our customers with organized, consistent drawings that are technically accurate. In this blog post I’m going to walk you through our process here at Superior Shop Drawings. Shop Drawings must be checked for Technical Accuracy against the reference drawings and they must also be checked for compliance with Internal Drafting Standards. The Shop Drawing Review Process can vary from one Cabinet Shop to another but the basic purpose is always the same. But what if you are a new Draftsman (or perhaps a newly promoted Lead-Draftsman) – would you know what is expected if asked to Review Millwork Shop Drawings? If you have been in the Architectural Millwork or Custom Cabinet business for any length of time, you are probably familiar with the Shop Drawing Review Process.
