Check Drawings for Standards Violations

Concept

Procedure

Quick Reference

To audit a drawing for standards violations

1. Open a drawing that has one or more associated standards files.

   An Associated Standards File(s) icon is displayed in the status bar. If an associated standards file is missing, a Missing Standards File(s) icon is displayed in the status bar.

   NoteIf you click the Missing Standards File(s) icon and then resolve or dissociate missing standards files, the Missing Standards File(s) icon is replaced by the Associated Standards File(s) icon.
2. In the drawing with one or more associated standards files, enter checkstandards at the Command prompt.

   The Check Standards dialog box is displayed with the first standards violation reported under Problem.

3. Do one of the following:
   • If you want to apply the item selected in the Replace With list to fix the violation reported under Problem, click Fix. If there is a recommended fix in the Replace With list, it is preceded by a check mark. If no recommended fix exists for the current standards violation, the Fix button is not available.

     The Check Standards dialog box automatically displays the next standards violation under Problem.

   • Manually fix the standards violation. Click the Next button to display the next violation.
   • Select Mark This Problem as Ignored. Click the Next button to display the next violation.

     Selecting Mark This Problem as Ignored flags the standards violation so you can prevent it from being displayed the next time you use the CHECKSTANDARDS command.

   • Click the Next button to display the next violation.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you have cycled through all standards violations.
5. Click Close.
