The whole point of releasing CAD files to Architects and Engineers is to reduce errors and make the project go smoothly. It defeats the purpose if the site plan CAD file comes back to me with everything moved to 5000,5000 coordinates, scaled up to Archy units, rotated ?29° clockwise so that the long axis of the site is parallel to the bottom of the page and my Grid North arrow replaced with a plain North arrow that isn't even correctly oriented (rotated 5°55'31" CCW to be exact). Their second North arrow located near the page number graphic and the written scale indicates Magnetic North. Thankfully they just indicated "survey by others" on the plans submitted to the City instead of blaming this abomination on me directly. :-@ :-@ :-@ :-@ :-@

I contacted the Engineer and brought the issues to his attention. I hope he provides his CAD tech with good health insurance cause he/she got tossed under the bus.:pinch:
