the downing effect Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 We use simple line drawings of parts. Some of these parts are used in multiple products, however if a change is made to a drawing it has to be replaced in all the other locations I have tried to get them to go to 3d modeling and xref in the parts but apparently that is not acceptable , since there is no master assembly, but instead folders of dwgs is there an easier way of managing this?

f700es Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Xrefs would be good in this situation. Have you shown them how easy this would be and how parts would update if/when changes are made? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the downing effect Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 :glare:I tried, as embarrassing as it is, I have to scale down drawings and create a printable e size sheet in model space.... I have tried to show them paper space and annotative dims but it is falling on deaf ears. now they have decided they want me to save everything dxf so I have to figure out why my dimstyle is getting lost in translation.

the downing effect Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 I probably should, but I know I can make a difference in the long run. It's just dealing with the problems and trying to be more creative with the solutions. Eventually they will have to listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
