Check a Single Drawing
You can use the CHECKSTANDARDS command to view all standards violations
in the current drawing. The Check Standards dialog box reports each
nonstandard object, along with any suggested fixes.
You can choose to fix or ignore each reported standards violation. If you ignore
a reported violation, it is flagged in the drawing. You can turn off the display
of ignored problems so that they are not reported as violations the next time
you audit the drawing.
If no fix is provided for the current standards violation, no item is highlighted
in the Replace With list, and the Fix button is not available. If you fix a
standards violation that is currently displayed in the Check Standards dialog
box, the violation is not removed from the dialog box until you click the Fix
or the Next button.
Once the entire drawing has been audited, the Checking Complete message
is displayed. This message summarizes the standards violations that were
found in the drawing. The message also shows the violations that were fixed
automatically, the violations that were fixed manually, and the violations
that were ignored.
NOTE When a nonstandard layer contains multiple violations (for example, a
violation where there is a nonstandard layer name and one for nonstandard layer
properties), the first violation that is encountered is displayed. Subsequent violations
that exist on the nonstandard layer are not evaluated, and therefore, not displayed.
You will need to run the command again to check for additional violations.
Check Multiple Drawings
You can use the Batch Standards Checker to analyze multiple drawings and
summarize standards violations in an HTML report. To run a batch standards
audit, you must first create a standards check (CHX) file. The CHX file is a
configuration and report file; it contains a list of drawing and standards files,
as well as a report on a standards check.
By default, each drawing is checked against the standards files that are
associated with it. Alternatively, you can override the default and choose
another set of standards files to be used.
After the batch standards audit is complete, you can view an HTML report
with details of the audit. You can also create notes that are included in the
HTML report. This report can be exported and printed. In a collaborative
environment, you can distribute the report to drafters so that they can fix any
problems with their sections.
