Decals in a drawings?

[cadfreak]

In your opinion what would be the best way to show Decals in a drawing.

The company I work for has hundreds of detailed decals for numerous iterations. In WF3 we now have the option to show decals in shaded mode which would be nice, but not necessarily the easiest to do?? Since these decals are placed on various sizes of cylinders, would that mean creating a Decal via the Appearance Editor for each iteration?

Has anyone dealt with realistic label placement on final drawings?

(note: I don't think they would accept a Simple Representation of the decals.)

Are there any other options? Curves?

looking for some wise input.

Thanks.

We use DXF outputs, and make a ProE part with them, and use these as artwork or decals. So you can do it, and also change the line style and color of the datum curves made from the import.
