I am now a test engineer burning stuff like fire doors for a living. One of our clients claim they cannot send us drawings(which we need) because "they use Solidworks and rely solely on the models."
1. How common is this? I thought this was merely a pipe dream for many companies wishing to save money on making drawings.
2. How do you manage tolerances without drawings and solely using 3d models?
3. I think drawings should continue to be used even if you do send all your models to the floor to be made without drawings. Am I hopelessly nostalgic? I thought I was being practical. Thoughts?
