I guess I don't understand the question.

RE: Drafting Methodology

It's pretty much the same as any other drafting module out there that creates an associative drawing from 3D models....probably a little better than most, in my opinion.

RE: Drafting Methodology

Richard,

If you are talking about the "Master Model Concept" which UG put to work to split the part and drawing from being in the same file as UG originaly was designed for, I can give my thoughts on its implementation.

UG like some other Systems Catia 4 for instance used to keep 1 file which contained both a model space "Part Mode" which contained the geometry and Draft Space "Draw Mode" which contained the views and dimensions. This was a nice Idea and allowed for The Model to be changed from the drawing.

Other systems that have not been around as long as UG started out with several types of files with different extensions .drw .asm to indicate drawing files and assembly files. and just linked the drawings to the parts so that changes could be made to the part and the drawings would update.

The Master Model concept helps to keep file size to a minimum because the data for the part and drawing are split into two files. Another benefit is that you can have the model be worked on by a designer and have the drawing be worked on by a Drafter with out having to wait to access the file.
This allows for companies that have separate Drafting Group and Modeling group that only work in Part Mode or Drawing mode to allow work to be done simultaneously by both groups.
