© 2011 Autodesk Class Summary You have received a drawing file that doesn’t meet your company’s standards. You have no idea what additional software may have been used that put unnecessary data in the drawing. This class will show you some tools and workflows to get that drawing to conform to your company standards with minimal effort. Some of the tools will be from Express Tools, some from CAD Standards Tools, some from AutoCAD Map3D ® and some from AutoCAD Civil 3D ®.
