CS,
We use file properties in our parts & assemblies (custom &
configurations specifc) and addition file properties in our drawings.
With our current procedures, no manual entries are required in any of
our drawings or BOMs. Taking advantage of the link capabilities to our
PDM package (SmarTeam) the vast majority of required information
automatically populates our PDM profile card entries.
This SolidWorks functionality should be leveaged as much as possible
to decrease errors & increase throughput.
Regards,
Eddie
