Q-CAD assures the highest degree of quality and accuracy for each converted CAD file. Converted files are checked and
rechecked to make sure that all CAD standards were followed and that the document was converted accurately.
Q-CAD performs four levels of quality assurance (QA) for each converted CAD file. If errors are detected at any level, the
file is returned to the original CAD operator for corrections. Once corrections have been made, the file re-enters the Level 1 – Level 4 QA process again. Upon successfully passing each level of
QA, the converted CAD file is distributed to the client. The information below outlines the Q-CAD QA procedures:
Level 1-QA: The
CAD operator converts and checks the CAD file to make sure that all instructions and standards were followed. When the CAD operator is confident that the file is complete, it is then passed to
Level 2-QA.
Level 2-QA: The
Level 2 CAD manager plots converted file and compares it to original document for errors or omissions. The file is also reviewed for compliance with all special instructions, layering schemes
and standards. Errors and omissions are noted and the CAD manager works with the CAD operator to assure that all errors and omissions are corrected as necessary. When the file is 100% accurate, the
file is passed to Level 3-QA.
Level 3-QA: The
Level 3 CAD manager reviews the corrected document for 100% accuracy. All instructions and standards are checked again. Spelling checks, layering standards, file x-refs (when applicable) are
verified.
Level 4-QA: The
Level 4 CAD manager visually compares and approves that the electronic file matches the original document. Additional files are created based on the final CAD file: PDF-color, PDF-black/white,
TIF, CTB (color table files for client plotting). Once Level 4-QA testing is completed the files are ready to be distributed to the client.
Technical Support
Q-CAD's
staff works closely with all clients to ensure that the final CAD files match the requirements of your project exactly. Upon receipt of your drawings to be converted into CAD, Q-CAD closely
examines the project and works closely with you to ensure that all technical requirements are understood before proceeding with the drafting process. Before beginning a large conversion project, Q-CAD
recommends that you send several documents, along with your specific layering standards, blocks, etc. for an initial conversion. This allows us to work together to assure you that our conversions meet
your specific standards before the actual conversion project begins.
Once you have received and reviewed the final CAD files, Q-CAD performs follow-up procedures to verify that the
CAD files have met all of your specific project requirements. If any inconsistencies with the files are detected, Q-CAD updates the files immediately and supplies the updates to your office.
