Re: CAD Standards

At the engineering firm where I did my internship we used the following to name the models:

Job_Assembly_Part Name_Part Number_Employee Name_Date Saved

Ill echo what Tristan said above with one addition, keep the model as "modular" as possible. Separate the design into subassemblies (drivtrain, arm, etc) that are completely independent of one another. This allows more than one person to work on the model without the fear of overwriting someone else's work. It also allows you to easily re use the assemblies.
