Thanks Tick,
That sounds like a good option.
But I'm tring to stick to a personal rule, that I keep a ono-to-one relationship between part files, and drawing files. So a drawing file can only document (call-up) the part file with the same name. The above option would have the drawing file...
We purchase a casted part, and then machine it. I'm having difficulty getting the BOM in the .sdldrw file to look right.
The casted part is defined in a .sldprt file, with a corresponding .sdldrw file.
I then create a derived part in another .sldprt file by "Menu >> Insert >> Part". Apply...
