We currently have some members of our team that would rather detail in AUTOCAD. Our S.O.P. is to bring all views of the top Assembly, the views of the sub assemblies and the views of the parts in to one working drawing. Now I could talk till I'm blue in the face about parametrics and the need to not "Break the chain" but this is not going to change for us. Presently we use WF-4 and Detailing is faster in AUTOCAD. THERE ! I SAID IT.
My Question is how can we pull those views faster. the Hierarchy is already built into the model tree our naming is very organized. Presently the process is open model, create new Drw(yes with template) and repeat for all subs and parts. then weDWG out convert layers and copy and paste to one working DWG.
Typically we like to stay away from Simplified Reps as they are a picture in time so to speak. If anyone has set up a drawing program to pull in multiple models we would like to hear about it also i am attaching a sample image. Blessings!View attachment 5001
