Charted Drawing Concept in NX

Hi,
Has anybody worked with Charted Drawings?
What is the difference between them and regular drawings?

Regards,

RE: Charted Drawing Concept in NX

Depends on how you want to set them up and use them.

We used to do a single sheet drawing with 3 columns in a table for the charted information. Each row contained our part number, the cocor and the OEM part number. We had a generic model for the 'standard' part since we were only chnaging colors for the other part numbers.

RE: Charted Drawing Concept in NX

My experience was pretty similar to Ben's, but the chart showing the differences was usually only based on paint color changes (Part number A was painted with color number 1 for example). When geometry differed, such as for a chrome plated part, there was a new model added and views on the drawing displayed and called out the geometry difference for those specific part numbers only.
