Our design engineers create part models and then a drawing file to reflect the model. Then as a manufacturing engineer, Icreate an inspection document showing operators the process for inspection. I've been instructed to add a sheet to the drawing and then generate the views and the dimensional characteristics from scratch. The issue is that most of the information I need to generate is already done with the model print - (I.E. our inspection instructions are basically streamlined blueprints). I feel like it would be much faster to remove the few unnessesary elements than to regenerate and configure all the views, dimension, etc.
The engineer that developed this process says that I can't use the existing drawing because:
ProE won't allow double dimensioning across drawing sheets
Saving the drawing as something else is still referenced to the part so it is a security risk to have other users possibly destroying the model
It's much better to organize our inspection documents within ProE drawings as additional sheets
The better I get at ProE, the less time it will will take to regenerate the necessary items (I'm pretty darn quick though already)
Anyinsight you can provide would be great -
Thanks
