How to Issue CAD Drawings

Hi fellow arkiboks, I'd like to ask for a few suggestions / strategies on how to issue a BIG set of drawing sheets for a single project. Right now, we have up to 120++ sheets. It's taking alot of time for us to edit the revision numbers, dates, revclouds, (all those info related to an issue) and to send them out for faster plotting. We are using xrefs for title blocks, plans, etc... and we bind them as inserts. I've tried the etransmit command but I'm apprehensive to adapt it fully with our team since I don't really know yet about its consequences.

The 'Bind strategy' is the cleanest and fastest way I know so far, but it would definitely help if we could adapt a faster and more convenient system for issuing multitudes of drawings.

I wonder how the big firms with projects a lot bigger than the ones we have get by with their issues. Does anybody have a clever idea?

We're using AutoCAD 2000 by the way.

Cheers to everyone!

Outerhope

There will be a CD launch by the musical duo called "Outerhope" at the Magnet Cafe in Katipunan on December 10 at 9:00pm.

One of the members of Outherhope is our fellow architect Micaela Benedicto, a graduate of the UP College of Architecture.

Their CD is really good. You can hear some samples of their songs at their website http://www.outerhope.com/index.html

Definitely try out the swingy and catchy "Another Daybreak", my current favorite among all their songs. Other songs like the inspiring "Race to the Sky", the heart wrenching "Moving Away", the other catchy "Sky High Blue" and the hypnotizing "Makisama" are also songs in the album that must be listened to. There's also the dreamy instrumental "Learning to Rollerskate" and other songs that are just as good. It's a solid CD.

Here's their profile as seen on their website:

Outerhope was formed when siblings Mike and Micaela Benedicto decided to collaborate on songs built with minimal instruments: guitars, keyboards, and vocal harmonies.

Outerhope’s sound is introverted, absent-minded, and somewhat whimsical. Their first attempt at studio recording is the independent album Strangely Paired, a collection of songs that have constant references to transitions and forms of travel.

The band has performed live in Conspiracy Bar, Gweilos, and Café Saguijo, and will launch their album soon at Mag:net gallery. Joon Guillen completes the band by providing electric guitar parts in live performances.

Strangely Paired was produced by Outerhope and recorded by Shinji Tanaka at Sound Creation studio.
