Model in SolidWorks, draught in Autocad
(OP)
Hi All, I'm looking at various design enginner/ draughtsman jobs and what I notice a few companies doing is creating models and assemblies in solidworks and then doing the drawings in autocad. Is anyone familiar with this and why would it be done- I can see no benefit in this what so ever!http://www.eng-tips.com/threadminder.cfm?pid=559&a...

Why not make the drawings from the associated model in SW?
The only time we use ACAD is to bring in legacy files (as MadMango mentioned), then import them into SW. We will also create the parts/assy's in SW as time permits.
Then, the ACAD file is archived.

It wouldn't be so bad if they created the models & drawings in SW and then exported to DXF or DWG.
