Coordination

hello everybody, im here to asking you a question about the way you do to coordinate different projects within a building, i mean, here in my office we do the electrical, mechanical, hydraulic and structure, and of course that while we are working we need to know where the other teams are putting their equipments to avoid future problems. Until now we call the drawings of each other as xref, but the drawing gets to heavy and slow. Have you thought about any other way of doing that kind of job?

thank you very much guys

Using Xref as "overlay" might help instead of "attachment".

...

Peace out

When we run into that kind of problem we start to switch of all unneeded info (dim lines - text - etc) on the xref's by freezing the layers of the xref and if that doesn't help by using xref clip to clipping the xref's down to the particular area that is of interest.

The only other solution I know of is having a better computer with a better graphics card.

We run into the same problems. We upgraded one computer and it seems to help and we will be upgrading another one even heavier next week. We also X-Ref our other trades in and load and unload as necessary.
