Design Basics 4

[MESC1]

I posted this in another forum earlier and realize this was probably the more appropriate location. If you come across it twice, I am sorry for the confusion.

I have a designer who is self-taught AutoCad. In that respect, he is not bad, but he was never taught the basics of design. Simple rules like eliminating doglegs, text size, hidden lines, scaling, and the like, are beyond his comprehension. My attempts to teach him these concepts have not been embraced. I have a dozen textbooks that describe these concepts, but this man is not going to read a book. He also will not simply comply because I say it is so; he insists upon seeing why it is correct and necessary. This has proven a difficult challenge since, as I mentioned, he will not read a book.
Can anyone recommend some smaller texts where these guidelines might be complied with explanations of why this is proper practice?

Thanks
SC

This is not a 'design basics' problem.

This is a 'management basics' problem.

" First rate people hire first rate people.
Second rate people hire third rate people. "

Apparently they haven't purged all the second raters.

It's time.
