Up to 300 Drawings

Mass localization of a technical drawing set.


Task

A large drawing set had to be localized while preserving the structure and readability of the source sheets.

Tools

Depending on the source set, CAD tools including AutoCAD, KOMPAS, SolidWorks and MicroStation were used.

Result

A consistent set of localized documents was prepared. Some projects of this type involve several hundred sheets.

Next step

Describe the project — I’ll look at the source document and the task.

For an initial estimate, a brief description, languages, volume, source format and, where possible, a sample document are enough.

Useful details to include

  • document type and source format;
  • translation / localization languages;
  • volume and estimated deadline;
  • whether source files are available or only PDF / scans;
  • special layout and final-format requirements.
