Hey everyone,
At work we have about 20,000 drawings and models of different assortments of gears. Some of these drawings are in different formats as we have changed drawing templates a few times. I have figured out how to use a family table to create the models of the gears but is there a way that after I make a model a drawing is automatically made for it? Right now I have it set up to where there is a drawing template with the views created but I still have to put in dimensions. I looked at the repeating region topic but we use one drawing that has a front view, right view, and Iso view up in the corner, so I cant have a big table on the drawing that could cause a machinist to read the wrong dimensions. My boss wants it to be in such a way were if we had a couple thousand drawings we wanted to update for example the finish from black oxide to clear zinc we could just do it in the table and that would update all of the drawings automatically. I'm not sure if you guys could follow this but any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You,
Zach
