I have no experience with pro E.
My designers tell me that Pro E won't let them create what I call an "in-process" sub-assembly drawing that shows pilot holes for rivets.
The drawings they give me show the final rivot hole size including the rivet countersink. What I need is a drawing showing pilot hole sizes or at least a drawing showing a small cross centerline at the location of each pilot hole. If I had that, then a note could be used to describe the pilot hole size. I would prefer a drawing showing the pilot holes i.e. a drawing that looks like the part will look right before it is matched to its mate and riveted. Can Pro E do this or are my designers right when they say Pro E won't let them change the final rivet hole size??
I am quite familiar with Autocad and can't imagine Pro E can't do what is an easy task in Autocad i.e. changing a feature size or just showing a location with centerlines.
I can't believe Pro E can't generate a drawing from a model that shows a part at any given stage throughout the process of manufacturing it. Am I wrong??
What do I need to know to show my designers (and myself)this can be done in Pro E
