What do others use to keep prints in mint condition?
I have used clear tape or duct tape around the edges.
PVC pipe cut to length with caps for storage. T12 lamp guards cut to length with caps.
Has anyone tried map seal?
autocad.
i get the drawings from the electrical engineer, do all my pad layouts, asbuilts, etc.
on the drawing. stubs in walls, etc. are all dimensioned that way on the asbuilts.
what's good about it, is i can make a pad sketch, and lay out control lines and dimension
directly from them. i can allow for drywall thickness, strut, switchgear cutouts, and dimension
directly from field layout points, reducing error.
when i need working copies, i half size them, and print them at speedy print around
the corner, or kinkos on the other corner. (prohibitively expensive)
my chicken scratching on the working drawings i transfer back to the autocad file.
when the job is over, i take all my as builts, put them on a layer called _ELECASBLTS,
and email them.
on the same email goes the invoice for the retention..... :happyyes:
