Drawing Approval
(OP)
I approve drawings from Contractors/Vendors. I'm trying find out how drawings are being approved electronically and what does your approval block look like.
Thanks

What I'm looking for is what others are doing equipment approvals. Generally what we've done is checked as "approved" or "approved as noted" or "reject".

RE: Drawing Approval
It's not part of AutoCAD, it's a separate software system in it's own right. However, the system I use is closely integrated with AutoCAD.
For example, I have all the attributes in my title blocks linked to the system along with a number of other attributes and blocks that I use on a regular basis. The EDMS automatically extracts the values from these attributes and stores them in the database. I can then search on these attributes and other values to find any drawings, or other documents. I also use it to control MS Office documents as I can extract data from these as well.
The EDMS automatically keeps a revision of any document that is changed and I can go back to them and compare documents to see what has changed and when.
Production also use it to view and plot drawings, thus ensuring they always have the latest revision level.
