2. WHAT IS MODEL BASED DEFINITION (M.B.D.) What do you think it is? What did I think it was? Let’s go to the guru!

3. AND BY GURU, I MEAN…

4. HERE IS WHAT I FOUND! SolidWorks Forum Article : https://forum.solidworks.com/thread/56419 https://forum.solidworks.com/thread/56419 Concerns “What! No print! I need paper!!!!” “The drawing is a contract. With a signature!” “The guy on the floor doesn’t know CAD” ASME Y14.41-2003 Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz MIL-STD-31000A Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Wait! What? The government?!?

5. WHERE DOES SOLIDWORKS FIT IN? DimExpert Reference Dimensions DO NOT GET RID OF “DESIGN INTENT” External drawing file is not necessary, but you aren’t getting out of any work… Annotations toolbar in the 3D Model. Drawings aren’t just dimensions! Are you using BOM’s at a 3D level? Is the shop floor using computer stations?

6. GREAT! NOW WHAT… eDrawings Free reader! Short comings of eDrawings CNC data (possible need for two programs to be open)? Might work for internal purposes, but what about sending the data outside? 3DPDF Free Reader! Can SolidWorks even create these? CNC data? Might work for external purposes, but what about internal usage?

7. SOLUTIONS THAT ARE OUT THERE MBDWorks (Anark Software www.anark.com)www.anark.com Gold level partner with SolidWorks integration. Ease of use True neutral file formatting and “pixel perfect” conversion. Generates 3D PDF with all the dimensions and annotations. Puts it into a useful border and looks suspiciously familiar to a drawing! Data can be read in from other CAD packages as well!!! And others…

9. THANKS! The end.
