About the book
Standardization of drawing conventions enables better exchange of electronic information, uniformity of the display of this
information, and reduces time of the production of these instruments of service. This book will explain the concepts and options
presented in the National CAD Standard and how design firms can take advantage of drawing standardization. The book will also
discuss how the implementation process can be streamlined to fit your firm and your project types.
