Auditing a Project or a Drawing
When a project or a drawing is audited, the styles and display settings in the project drawing are compared with those
of the project standards, and any out-of-synch standards will be reported.
Out-of-synch standards can appear in these cases:
■
A style or display setting in a project drawing has changed and needs to be updated with the correct version from
the project standards.
■
A style or display setting in the project standards has changed and needs to be updated in the project drawings.
■
Not standardized styles and display settings have been introduced in a project drawing.
You could for example run an audit on drawings that come from contractors, or from other outside sources. Before
you synchronize the drawings with the project standards, you first want to look at what actually is different between
the drawings and the standards. For information on synchronizing standards, see “
Synchronizing a Project Drawing
with AEC Standards ” on page 363.
NOTE A drawing needs to be part of a project to be audited against project standards. You cannot audit standalone drawings.
If a drawing had been outsourced, it needs to be copied back into the project before it can be audited. For more information,
see
“ Converting a Legacy Drawing to a Construct ” on page 221 .
The result of the audit is placed in an HTML or XML audit report.
