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

Regards,

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.

Thanks looslib .

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.
