Looking for a best practice for maintaining standard classes, symbols, line, hatches and such.
What I have so far gets me there but its still messy
I have had one document to place all of my standard parts, such as Classes, symbols, Hatches.
I have a practice of putting everything I may use a second time in one document so I know where to get it.
It started off as a dumping ground
I started to sort with classes, layers and symbol folders so I can find what I need, and they are ready to use
It's now a respectable amount of elements
As it has grown I have had to split off the document into 4 or 5 documents to try to manage the size
Separating items has problems because things like plumbing and millwork want to work together in a drawings
I end up having a document that has plumbing, millwork and appliances
My class naming also evolves as the type of info I need to control changes, also the new class sorting has made some naming practices obsolete.
I'm at a point where I would like to be able to control classes, lines hatches all in one place, Change it in one document and have it update in the others
I believe I understand linking and using project sharing, but I have not found a method that pulls it all together for me.
Wondering what others have come up with to manage their libraries.
