Try drawing the trajectory with a single spline. I don't think you'll be able to loop it but you should be able to get (more or less) straight and curved sections.
@MadMango:
Again, since we're on the services end, we only use PDM internally on some programs, another reason the solution should be agnostic in that respect as well.
The good news is that any client with an existing PDM system in place already has a naming / numbering scheme that we're...
Thanks for all the responses so far. As KENAT points out, the issue isn't whether or not I model as a part vs assembly or how the numbering scheme works, but rather downstream issues if a CAD part and assembly file have the same number.
Since we're a design consultancy, we have to take into...
Great topic. An anecdote: Recently we were at the documentation stage for parts in an assembly which, using coordinate tolerancing, would have needed very tight tolerances to function correctly. We had a contractor on the team with some GD&T experience, who was able to suggest an GD&T...
I scoured the forum extensively for discussion of this topic but found nothing, so please point to prior topics if this has been covered (or a better location for the discussion as it seems to cross a couple areas).
I work at a design consulting firm and our CAD standards team is attempting to...
