Good morning all you fellow Pro/E Hellians!
I have been asked to come up with a "good" way of supplementing/showing many (and I do mean many) welds on a weldment assembly. We have a traditional 2D drawing (7, roll sized pages worth)with all the welds called out. Sufficient? Yes. Eyes blurry and crossed? Yes. Cool and High Tech? No.
Currently there exists in the assembly a part that essentially looks like a Skeleton with curves copied from the assembly at the weld seams with little VSS's showing the weld locations. I kind of like that as it shows the general thought for the individual welds. Of course, risks with that is if a sub part changes or a ref is lost....have fun dealing with that mess. Been there and done that.
However, the next step is where the "good" way to show things starts to fall apart. Currently the customer uses...GULP...a PowerPoint chocked full of randomviews that "show" the welds in all their color and grandiosity. I think the PP was around 15Mb.It's called a living PowerPoint. I call it sad, cumbersome, useless, excrutiating...should I go on? The thoughtwas a picture is worth a thousand words, which I believe is still valid. But the way it's being done is counter-productive.My task is to find a better way to accomplish the ease ofpresenting the welds to the floor.
Howhave you guys and girls dealt with this kind of scenario? Saved views in the model, movie file traversing the model like underwater Titanic footage, smoke signals, Morse Code?
Looking for some ideas.
Thanks,
Dean
