DESIGN COMPONENTS
NEW DESIGN
1. Locate the folder corresponding to the job you will be building.
2. Drag it to the finder side bar for easy access.
3. Within the folder you will see ‘Engineering’, ‘Project Management’, ‘Sales’.
4. In a new finder tab go to the ‘NEW PROJECT’ folder.
5. Highlight and copy all of the dwg’s you will need for your job. (NOTE: you will
ALWAYS need “AV-100 Cover Sheet”, “AV-200 1ST Floor”*, “AV-30X AUDIO
VISUAL DETAILS”, “AV-TTL-BLK”, x-legend, avspaceslogo.png,
kaiserpermanente.jpg
a. *RENAME to whatever number floor your are working with- eg: you are
only showing a room on the 7th floor it will be AV-200 7th Floor. AV201 8th Floor, etc.
b. If it is a larger (Kaiser) project with multiple floors and public
square/exam room/any monitors using KP standards, we will need an
Area of Work page for each floor, and Area of work legend.
6. You should have redlines, a quote, or at least a basic scope on smartsheet for
the job. So you can also copy files such as Chatsworth, Plenum Box, Projector
Mount, etc.
7. Back to the ‘WORKING’ folder in your current project, paste the files you just
copied from new project.
8. Your WORKING folder should contain something like this
a. AV-100 COVER SHEET.dwg
b. AV-101 1st FLOOR - AREA OF WOR.dwg
c. AV-200 1ST FLOOR.dwg
d. AV-300 XX INCH MONITOR.dwg
e. AV-301 AUDIO VISUAL DETAILS.dwg
f. Av-ttl-blk.dwg
g. X-LEGEND.dwg
h. X-LEGEND_RCP.dwg
9. PROJECT MANAGER & COVER SHEET
a. Open your AV-100 Cover Sheet Page.
b. Go to File>New Project… And create a new project. Save it in your
WORKING folder. You should now see your project manager window.
To add your sheets to the project, right click on the window and select
“Add New Layout From Drawing…” Then navigate to your WORKING
folder and add your AV-100, 200’s and 300’s to the project.
c. Now back to your COVER SHEET Paper Space. If this is a Kaiser project,
leave KAISER PERMANENTE at the top center of your viewport, and
2
beneath it- change ‘job title’ to whatever the name of the project is
(typically the name of the folder containing all of your files.)
i. If it is not a Kaiser Project, then replace KAISER PERMANENTE
with the name of the company, in addition to the ‘job title.’
Additionally you will want to delete the Kaiser logo (under the
job title) and add the correct logo.
1. Add the .png to your WORKING folder.
2. Use CMD-7 to open your External Reference (X-Ref)
Manager and similar to adding a Layout to your Project
Manager, right click and “attach reference” to add your
logo image to the drawing. Place it where the KP logo
was.

Permanente to the correct company if not a KP job.)
