"" but we don't have any agency for ruling the standardization, and we use that file for sharing""
oh here we go again. Jorge, one size does NOT fit all. If you want the AIA to manage the standardization of Architectural files then call on them. But AIA standards ONLY work for architects (and not very well there), they don't work at all in our industry or any other for that matter. A single standard will only reduce the flexibility of the tool and in turn it usefulness. For a change try looking at the several hundred industries utilizing Autodesk products that are not architectural.

"" Can yo imagine if you contractor give you a bunch of maylar drawings, but lets say, cutted in little pieces, like a puzzle or something like that? ""
Autodesk doesn't do that either. Very poor analogy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"" "if you change your drafting table, maylar and pencil for computer, keyboard and mouse, you have to change your procedures also" That change haven arrived yet, at least in the majority here. ""
Speak only for yourself on that issue Jorge. You're the only poster I've seen that refuses to setup his own standards with even a minimum of customization. You'd prefer someone else to tell you how and what to draw.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"" Lets say you have your own cad standard and you inquire to your contarctor uses that before they send you the file. But you are not the only contractor client. Who pays to the contractor that custom standard for each client like you.""
We provide our suppliers with the tools to accomplish our standards, as should any firm.

"" We stiil need another code to prepares the layers, block, views and other dwg subproducts, before interchange the dwg file. Who will create that code? ""
We do. I have a question Jorge, as an architect how would you like a standard developed by a steel fabricator. Only the layers and styles needed for steel fabrication are allowed in this new code. Would that fit you well? Probably not, just as one created by the AIA would not fit us. And should Autodesk attempt some standard that will accommodate ALL possible users in ALL possible industries it will be much to cumbersome to be of any use at all. Surely you can see that.

"" It have to be a council, a group, for inside ACAD users, and for outside ACAD users. ""
oh no, a committee?? that'll guarantee it's uselessness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"" But first we need to figure out to whom belogns the dwg to...""
nope already done that, you just don't like the result for some reason.
But hey, that's just me.
