What come first, the standards or the tools?

Ladies and Gentlemen,

     There are discussions at my company about the use of validation tools - however there are discussions about the use of data/design creation standards as well.  Should the company have a set of data/design standards established first, which are tailored for the company/industry, before purchasing C.O.T.S. validation tools?  Or, shall the company purchase the tool and tailor standards against it?

Develop the standards for your company from industry accepted standards. Then develop the validation tools to ensure that your designers are following the company standards.

looslib,

     We pretty much have the standards in place for industrial - it is the math data standards that we are pondering.  We are running a NX2 shop, with legacy data coming from UGMX - however, but there is a push to go to part families.  To do that corrections need to be made - but just throwing a product like Check-Mate at it may not be the "Silver Bullet".

     Is there anybody in this forum with experience with Check-Mate and can relay their stories of getting UG files into some sort of data compliance?
