is a very broad question, but there is a reason. My company uses AutoCAD,
Microstation and PDMS. I am in charge of AutoCAD for my company and I am
trying to set goals for where our company should be headed with AutoCad. My
question to anyone is how is AutoCad being used in your companies. Are you
using 3rd party software? If so what?Are you using paper space? If so do you
use it all the time or just in certain cases? What are you doing with 3D and
rendering? What are your clients asking for? Also, we are a multi-office firm
and we share work between office across the WAN. How do you share work? What
problems have you seen? It seems that my company has come to a stand still,
and I need suggestions for the future. There is so much out there, and that
makes it hard to decide which way to go. I am looking for what you are doing
and seen. Anything you would like to share would be
helpful.

learning curve is a problem. Our Architects use ADT3.3 but do not use it to
its fullest. I am trying to figure out if we are way behind other companies
but from the replies I have gotten it seems we are all in the same boat. There
is so much out there but money and learning is always an issue. Do you use
paper space at all times? Do you bind xref's before sending to a client. There
are more questions I could ask but don't want this post to be a mile long.
Thanks for your input.

try and use the etransmit whenever possible but we have clients that will not
except files with xrefs attached. I think it is a lack of understanding on
their part. For some reason user's in my office have been reluctant to learn
paper space. It is a different concept with do's and dont's but once you
understand those it is not hard to work in.
You put all annotation in pspace? I suggested that and everyone was like,
NO, if something moves you have to go into pspace and move the text. They put
all the text in mspace and have different text heights for the different scale
vports on a different layer. It works, just adds some steps and makes the
drawing bigger than it has to be in my opinion. Now with the inplace xref edit
feature and working in floating mspace those changes can be made a lot easier.
We do a lot of work using the xclip feature instead of using pspace. My
user's understand this better for some reason. Our clients in this area also
don't understand the pspace concept so there has not been a real issue. Now
our other offices use pspace which in turn causes problems when our office
helps out on a job because of the lack of understanding by my user's. I am
here most of the time to answer questions if the get stuck but I can't always
be here. When have done training classes and users groups but for some reason
pspace is hard for the to understand.
