CAD Top Quality

GCAD assures top quality and accuracy for each CAD file. Converted files are checked and rechecked and consistently displayed our passion for attention to detail. We work closely with all clients to ensure that the final CAD files match the requirements of your project exactly. Completed CAD files match the required customer standards: layering, detailing, text height, dimensioning styles, etc.

GCAD creates customer profile to ensure consistency standards in the customer profile are applied to each project. For an initial conversion, GCAD recommends that the customer send several documents, along with the specific layering standards, blocks, fonts, titleblocks, etc. It is helpful to lay out the expectations fully and communicate in as much length as possible.

GCAD performs follow-up procedures to verify that the CAD files have met all of your specific project requirements. If any inconsistencies with the files are detected, GCAD updates the files immediately and supplies the updates to your office.

Strict Confidentiality

GCAD is committed to absolute client confidentiality. GCAD maintains state-of-the-art security systems and network to limit access to project information only to those individual that are directly working on the project.

GCAD considered all of the information related to your project is proprietary and confidential. Any information submitted to GCAD in the course of performing CAD drafting services will not be disclosed to any third party without prior and written approval of the client.

Procedures

The document conversion is accurately performed using AutoCAD software applications. GCAD has developed 4 stages processes including Communication, CAD Drafting, Quality Assurance and Project Report to make your outsourcing work well.

1. Communication. Send your order form, depoisits, original hardcopies or PDF documents and special requirments to GCAD Company. Your project is reviewed and recorded. If your project requirements are not completely understood we will contact you immediately.

2. CAD Drafting. CAD drafter draws every entity into AutoCAD according to the actual dimensions, bearings, distances and coordinates from the original document. Each entity is placed on the appropriate layer, and any blocks supplied by the client are incorporated into drawing. The finished file is a dimensionally accurate, full-scaled and layered AutoCAD DWG file.

3. Quality Assurance. The CAD file enters QA testing. QA compares it to the original document for accuracy. Errors and omissions are noted and corrected as necessary. QA manager reviews the corrected document, verify spelling checks, layering standards and x-refs for 100% accuracy. Create final CAD file.

4. Project Report. The project report includes invoice and 3 files: DWG file, PDF color and b/w files. The completed electronic files are distributed to the client via email or Internet FTP transfer. Upon request by the customer, the paper documents can be returned, destroyed or archived by GCAD for future needs by the client.

Standards

GCAD automatically uses the AIA layering standards during the conversion of a document unless the client has supplied their own set of layering standards.

GCAD encourage our clients to submit any predefined symbols, blocks and attributes with each order. During our conversion process, we then automatically incorporate this reference data into each CAD file. Symbol libraries, blocks and attributes are not necessary; however, they will provide added control and flexibility for your final converted documents.

Ambiguities can exist on almost any sheet and there must be conversion rules in place to handle them. These rules also ensure communication consistency between GCAD and our clients. Some of our common ambiguities include: undimensioned original drawings, unclear data on the original documents, and data conflicts. CAD drafter will use the scanned image as a reference to create the CAD file. In such cases, the actual dimension shown on the document is used as the default.
