I'm curious to know about your detailing philosophy concerning the use
of dimensions created in the drawing or use of dimensions from the
model. Personally, I push the use of model dimensions (the
"capture design intent" philosophy). I have an acquaintance with
WAY more Pro/E experience than I have telling me to disregard the model
dimensions and just create what you need in the drawing. He does
a lot of contract work for a lot of different companies and I know he
rarely has anything good to say about the existing Pro/E models he
works on. Sounds like he spends a good portion of his time
cleaning up models. Maybe that has something to do
with it. I've been trying to set up lunch with him for a couple
weeks now to get more detail on what he's thinking, but I'd like to
pose the question to this Pro/E community in the meantime.
So, do you show/erase or do you insert->dimension->new references?
