There has been some question over the past couple of years atmy company about machining parts to model and I wanted to survey atleast people in the SolidWorks forum about whether or not they doand what industry do you work for. I am not talking about doingaway with drawings completely. Obviously functional faces that aredatums and GD&T must go somewhere and I absolutely do not thinkthat the dimxpert is advanced to the point we can put alltolerances in the model. But I was wondering with the capability ofcnc mills/lathes, cast to model, rapid prototyping and CMMs is thecomplexity of parts grown to the point where it is prohibitive todo FULLY defined drawings?

So copy the following and answer yes or no (sometimes=yes):

Machine to model:
Manufacture to model:
Inspect to model:
GD&T:
Fully detailed drawings:
