..... "The SCANHOUSINGR1.gxd is the housing part of the scanner depicted in the overlay drawing. It is interesting to note that my customer uses these drawings as the basis of complete solid models using Solidworks. The geometry is simply transferred though exported AutoCAD v14 files generated by General Cadd into Solidworks. The extensive geometric capability of General Cadd makes the optical layout to be easily integrated into the overlay drawing. As capable as Solidworks is for generating drawings from 3d solid models, it lacks the precision and geometric construction capability when it comes to optical design."
