Re: Chief Architect for Framing Plans & Details

If you have concerns, send them hard copies.  They can scan them,
stickyback, or what ever.

Might want to do it anyway, unless you don't mind sharing your work
product.

If you wanted to meet them half-way send them a TIF or BMP (lossless
formats) but be sure to specifically protect your copyright.  Some of
these
drafting services "collect" engineers details ... and if they're
misapplied
guess who's got insurance ...  which reminds me, you might want to touch
base with your insurance carrier.

Anyhow, nobody ever said I couldn't find the grey lining.
