Appendix A

Brief Notes on Application of AutoCAD 2008 to Contractors
                
ArchSD had been using AutoCAD version 2008 starting from 1 February 2008.

a)	ArchSD will accept CAD drawing files of AutoCAD Version 2008 to 2000 from contractors starting from 1 February 2008. Contractors are free either to opt upgrading their AutoCAD version or NOT upgrading.

b) If contractor is not willing to upgrade their AutoCAD version, they can use the free tool provided by Autodesk to downgrade AutoCAD 2008 drawings issued by ArchSD to match their AutoCAD version currently used. They could still produce their CAD drawings in older versions but would not benefit from the new productivity features of new 2008 version. 

c) The free tool provided by Autodesk is “DWG TrueView” (previous version known as TrueConvert) which could be downloaded from :

http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?siteID=123112&id=2952277&linkID=9240618

d) The Autodesk “DWG TrueView” could convert AutoCAD Version 2008 files to Version 2007/2004/2000 files in one batch action. 

e) For example, if  contractor  has AutoCAD Version 2004 software for production, they could convert ArchSD’s  AutoCAD Version 2008 drawing files to Version 2004 drawing files for editing/processing and then submitting the Version 2004 drawing files to ArchSD.

f)	To avoid incompatibility with lower version of AutoCAD, most of the new drafting features in AutoCAD Version 2008 will not be used  in ArchSD’s CAD drafting practice.

g)	In case some new drafting features used in AutoCAD Version 2008  DWG files are incompatible with lower version of AutoCAD, guidance notes will be attached to drawing files to be issued to contractors.
