Let me start with an explanation of a workflow I used at my last job... We designed lots of very similar parts for shock absorbers. A piston for example, could come in various sizes or have slightly different geometry and we'd design them all in one file using SolidWorks configurations (very similar to Pro E's family table). So in this one file we'd have like maybe six differnt "configurations" of pistons. So, when we'd have to create drawings, we'd detail the biggest one first (because then you knew when you did the smaller ones the dimensions would fit on the page), do all the tolerancing, annotations everything, and then do a "save as" for for each configuration. Then, we'd right click the drawing veiw- and choose the differnt configuration for that new drawing that we watned displayed,99% of all the annotations would update properly, and in 5 minsof cleaning up dimensionspacing we'd have a complete drawing, where the original could have taken many hours. Is there a waydo someting like thisin Pro E?
