Hi. I am with a practice that uses the principle of 1 single drawing per sheet, and then one drawing file and then one sheet file. That results in a lot of files and a lot of xrefs but has some positive items.
Anyways, I am setting up this project now and I am manually going through a lot of the simple things such as making sure that the scale is actually showing 1:50 and aligning so that each floor plan is more or less on the same place. I am just thinking now, isnt there an easier way to do this manually? Alignment is one thing but surely it should be possible to make sure that it scales all drawings to 1:50 (which is the only scale I have now)? Most likely some of the drawings are slightly zoomed incorrectly so it would be like 1:55 or whatever so rather than going in and change every drawing, is there a way to set all open layouts to 1:50?
Other tips? I found it to be a very very slow process so I am desperately finding faster ways of saving small and larger amounts of time. For example, I just realised that you can import a table from excel and perhaps I will use this for the title block instead of manually changing the name from "PROPOSED GROUND FLOOR" to "GROUND FLOOR - PROPOSED" or other minor name changes on a larger scale. If I can manage it all in excel and it syncs perfectly that seems to save a lot of time.
