We are doing Reduced Dimension Drawings, this is kind of the best of
both worlds. We have a document for our travelers, ISO 9000, etc; but
we do not spend hours creating complete details.
We mostly do critical to function (CTF) drawings, which I imagine are
analagous to your 'reduced dimension drawings'. Since most of our
stuff is made directly from the CAD data, we focus our efforts on
developing inspection drawings to insure that parts that are supposed
to fit actually will... fit.
We believe strongly that drawing aren't going away. Sure, we don't
need to define every stupid cross-section on stuff "that doesn't
matter" (note quotes) that will be machined from the CAD data anyway,
but without a dated and revision controlled piece of paper (or locked
digital file) defining CTF dims (with tolerances), how can you hold a
vendor accountable if what you paid for doesn't turn out to be what
you paid for? Answer - a drawing (or pdf file of a drawing)
