Standard Check Files
Standard files are created from the C3D and Land Development Desktop Template files. They are to be used when creating an audit report using the Autodesk Batch Standards Checker.
REM Utility for AutoCAD - (currently under review)
The REM utility is used to add property owner and easement information to your CAD drawings.  The utility also creates a text file formatted for REM. 
Note: Certain steps must be followed "in order" for the REM utility to work correctly.  See the AutoCAD and REM document in the Consultants.zip file for specific instructions.
