Hi Folks,
I need to create a complete set of engineering drawings for a general
aviation aircraft. I will have hundreds of individual part drawings
and many assembly drawings based on these parts. I am planning to
model the aircraft in 3D and then create the working drawings based on
this model. I would like your oppinion on how such a project would
typically be structured. IOW, would you have a single file for each
part consisting of a model and the drawings associated with just that
part? Then, say, another file for each assembly of parts and the
associated drawings of the assembly? Perhaps you'd do something
completely different? Any help in this regard is appreciated.
Next, I'm fairly familiar with ACAD, but I am not very familiar with
its 3D features. Would I be better served to use a product like RHINO
3D or maybe even Inventor to do the 3D design work? What problems, if
any, will this create down the road other than having to modify the
models using a seperate application?
TIA!
