I am working on a large project for Airbus and am having a difficult (I mean, impossible) time locating DAN standards. We have a handful, but the communication lag with Europe can be excessive at times to get new ones. We are not currently a direct supplier, so we have no access through the...
OK, first off, thanks for all of the comments. I read my original post, and I was very vague. As I said in a later post, I understand how parametric modeling, 2D drawing creation and the whole 3D design works.
macPT - I think you've got it. The 2 drafters are exclusively 2D. We are looking...
Please keep in mind, I was asking about the real 2D drawing capabilities of Solidworks (the same type of work most of us started doing with AutoCAD a long time ago). I realize that 3D programs have "2D" detailing capability, but that's not what I'm after. The main question will be...
Thanks for all of the help! I've got some info to take upstars now.
Adrian,
It's funny...AutoCAD users complain, howl, and moan. I still get the 2D'ers doing the same when ever I talk about them moving to 3D. (I'm the only one that uses it here)
Thanks for the replies! I guess I should have given a little more background...
I actually use Mechanical Desktop 4 for fabrication tooling design. The other engineer uses AutoCAD 2000 for punch (die set) design. We have two drafters that use AutoCAD 2000 for production drawings (NOT details...
We are an extrusion company looking to upgrade our current CAD system (AutoCAD 2000/MDT4). At this point it comes down to Solidworks 2004 or the Inventor Series. We have extrusion profile drawings that are 100% 2D (and will NEVER need to be 3D). We draw the cross section of the extrusion...
