Beta October 10, 2018 admin Leave a comment Welcome to your 2019.0 Before we begin, please take a moment to consider your latest work over the past week or so. This Wellness Exam is intended to assess the effectiveness of your firm's template and workflow. As such, the responses you provide should be your truest thoughts based on recent usage, there are no right or wrong answers. This is about providing a fair assessment of the CAD workflow you experience. We've structured this Exam in three parts: General Information - Type of work and User (anonymous ok) info Design Tools - Evaluation of available tools most often applied in design phase. Presentation Tools - Evaluation of available tools most often applied in presentation phase (plan sheets) For continuity, it is best to complete this exam in one sitting. Fear not, it takes less than five minutes and provides a great level of detail. Thanks in advance for participating! Your Name Your Email address Company Name CAD Manager email address (you can send anonymous poll data for their analysis) This is just your general impression now. We'd like to know how well the template works for your type of work. We often see templates that are developed by one department but may not be optimized for your work. Works great, minimal modification required Works okay, but often import styles from previous projects Works poorly, is a consistent struggle for consistency We have a template? I just use previous projects. In order to most fairly assess components and workflow, please select the appropriate types of project you most often work on. For instance, use of Parcels and Parcel Labels may be helpful when assembling a single family subdivision plan set but less applicable and thus necessary for a user who mostly works on Multi Family projects. We think it prudent to consider this aspect to better determine applicability of components. Public Works Single Family Subdivisions Commercial Parcel Development (gas stations, retail etc) Multi Family Developments (condominium, apartments etc) Overland Utility (Pipelines, transmission level utilities) How often have you seen template updates? No updates noted One update over last 10 projects Two updates over last 10 projects More than two updates over last 10 projects DESIGN TOOLS - DESIGN SPECIFIC STYLESSome firms have developed design-specific styles that show designers more or different data than is shown on plan sheets.
