I have a sort of pole question about how designers might handle the Pro/ENGINEER part in terms of Die Casting.
Is it necessary to include the pre-machined version in a drawing? I might suggest adding the machining operations towards the end of the feature tree so you can create a family table. One Generic and one offering the machining operations at the end... Curious if anyone does this or has another technique for managing the two instances of pre-machined and die cast versions...
What other things might one do with respect to the part database that make a die cast part?
I am teaching another two day die cast part design workshop starting in the morning and I am trying to get a discussion going ... then import more students into the mcadcentral forums discussions. ( I probably talked at least 20 designers into joining the forum this year)
