How does a Shop Traveler tell you that the thingy balloned with a #6 is the widget that you made in a previous sequence on that drawing & that was made from Detail A of the watercut parts?
I'm not a drawing standards expert by any means, but don't you need a link on the drawings that tells you...
OK, so you're saying to create 2 configutations that are essentially the same, but use the User Specified Name in the BOM Options to get my 2 different names.
Thanks, I think we can make that work.
If anyone knows how to link Part Numbers to sheet metal, I'd still like to automate that somehow.
We have a waterjet & thus the parts are cut there, then formed by the shop, essentially 2 different departments. We're trying to develop a system within the engineering department that ensures things don't get missed, so I want the file name (& thus the BOM part number) to reflect where it...
How does everyone handle differentiating a flat part from a bent one? In the manufacturing world these are 2 different parts, but SW treats them as one.
Also, is there a 'cut list' or similar function that automates the BOM for sheet metal parts? We inventory sheet metal by the ft² under...
CoreyBlimeyLimey,
I don't understand what you mean by 'called up via the assembly BOM'. Do you mean that the assembly BOM calls for a TAN10021, so you know to pull up the TAN10021 drawing? That isn't really an option because of the way our MRP system is set up. Our parts guy has to issue a...
How do I pull the standard drawing into my project drawing file? Can I make changes to the title block to link it to that project without affecting the standard drawing?
Thanks,
Mark
Is there a way to copy or link a drawing sheet from one drawing file to another?
We create a single drawing file with multiple sheets for the shop to fab a project from. When we have a new project that calls for a same component as a previous project I would like to utilize the previously...
I think we work similar to Mike & frankly Solidworks is making our work more difficult, not easier. We inventory structural pipe, tubing, & ect. by the inch. Solidworks does fine at putting a bunch of that stuff together into a weldment, although I do have issues there too. The biggest...
