I'm always getting in parts my customers want me to reproduce, but they're parts and not drawings. Of I'm making a fixture or tooling for the shop, and need an actual drawing to work from.
Quite often I'll measure the parts and create a model in
Alibre, then break out the 2D drawing. As you may know, Alibre has the option to "include part dimensions" which IMO is very handy, and I use it all the time, many times modifying things to suit as well.
So people are telling me to go check out F360, how great it is, etc. Just a couple weeks ago I watched several videos on 2D drawings in F360 and (as far as I can tell) there is no function for bringing in any dimensions when creating a 2D drawing. Looks to me like you have to manually re-dimension the 2D drawing, and that doesn't look to handy either.
That is super disappointing! Seems like a no-brainer to include such basic function.
I guess F360 is another 3D program that really doesn't address any need for creating 2D drawings. So what....doesn't anybody work with actual paper 2D drawings anymore??
So then I was told to check out Draftsight for more 2D functionality.
