Check Drawings for Standards Violations | 115
If no fix is provided for the current standards violation, no item is high-
lighted 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 dia-
log 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. When you close the message, the Check Standards dialog
box is displayed.
Note When two separate violations are displayed for a nonstandard layer (one
violation for the nonstandard layer name and one for the nonstandard layer
properties), both violations will be fixed at the same time if you choose to fix
either one. This results in a discrepancy in the Checking Complete alert sum-
mary: there will be fewer standards violations found than was originally reported
in the Check Standards dialog box.
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.
Use Notification of Standards Violations While Working in a Drawing
You can set options for notification in the CAD Standards Settings dialog box
and with the
STANDARDSVIOLATION system variable. If you select Display
Alert upon Standards Violation in the dialog box, then an alert is displayed
when a violation occurs while you work. If you select Display Standards Sta-
tus Bar icon, an icon is displayed when you open a file associated with a stan-
dards file and when you create or modify nonstandard objects.
