Hi all,
I work for a small manufacturing firm that makes various sheet metal
products. We make a line of door assemblies, which depending on
what a client needs, change parts and configurations based on their
needs.
The problem we run into is when those parts change, are supressed, or
get swapped out for other parts. Sometimes dimensions do not show
up or change to a mageneta color (lost references). Other times,
views do not appear correctly due to a size change. Other times,
notes appear to overlap or leaders disappear.
We use Pro/Program and drawing states exclusively to try and control
these issues. However, because of the number of "states" required
to get the drawing to display correctly, it is quite cumbersome to
create a state for ALL possible configurations.
Does anyone know where I might find information on this sort of
thing? Controlling multi-configurations using the same assembly
on drawings?
We don't have a problem creating drawings from scratch. It is the
maintenance of the changing configurations that is throwing mokey
wrench after monkey wrench into our work.
Thanks in advance,
Jim
