About the topic/technology
The National CAD Standard coordinates the efforts of the building design and construction industry by classifying electronic building design data consistently, allowing streamlined communication among owners and design and construction project teams. This will result in reducing costs associated with developing and maintaining individual office standards and transferring building data from CAD applications to facility management applications. The Facility Information Council, a council of the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS), formed the National CAD Standards Project Committee to develop the standard. The National CAD Standard includes the CAD Layer Guidelines, published by the American Institute of Architects.

About the book
Standardization of drawing conventions enables better exchange of electronic information, uniformity of the display of this information, and reduces time of the production of these instruments of service. This book will explain the concepts and options presented in the National CAD Standard and how design firms can take advantage of drawing standardization. The book will also discuss how the implementation process can be streamlined to fit your firm and your project types.
