Hi Andy,
When the flattened drawing is made, a primary value of the drawingand BOM & To/From List is it's use for manufacturing thecable-harness assemblies. This means drawing visuals of connectorsand branch lengths need to be able to moved and lengthed withadditional keypoints added by the harness mfg. company using lowcost software.
What is Solidworks plans for 2D drawing use by harnessmanufacturers?
Will future releases include a means of editing the drawings usinglow cost software that the harness supplier can use? Maybe thiswhere E3 WireWorks [I assume expensive now] or Adobe Illustratorcan come in, to give the harness manufacturer a simple means ofediting the visual data in the future?
I assume for the BOM & To/From list, the path forward is usingExcel for export or E3 Wire Works. Is this correct?
Changing the flattened drawing structure to use SW "standard"drawing views was a step in the right direction, keep the "simple"sustainable changes coming! There is a long ways to go in thisarea.SolidworksRouting
