Hi,

I've done some searches here but I can't find the answer to my problem: I want to know what the advantages are of using a Power Weldment (.pwd) for a machined assembly over a regular assembly with assembly features.

Both will be built up by inserting a weldment assembly (we just make .asm's with no welds or features) and then letting loose some cuts and holes and what not through assembly features (or weldment features). The only thing I can see is that with the .pwd I can place relationships and dimension directly from all part edges and hole circles etc. without the need to project these onto my sketch plane.

Thanks,

Griffin
