Anyone tried to apply ASME Y14.41-2003 to Inventor?

[Anonymous]

Hey all,

My department just bought a copy of ASME Y14.41-2003 "Digital Product
Definition Data Practices". It is a new set of standards for part design
and documentation in digital media, especially with solid modeling. An area
we found interesting was that it is acceptable practice to issue a part
design as a model only without a corresponding 2d drawing as long as
annotated data (critical dimensions, tolerance, hole callouts, etc) are
attached to them model. This is simple to do in AutoCAD (which I think they
had in mind while developing this standard) but doesn't seem doable in
Inventor. Has anyone had luck applying this standard to your documentation
process? Autodesk, has this standard been under consideration for future
releases?

Thanks,

Patrick Berry

It has been a long standing goal of Autodesk to include all this information
in the model. I know they are still working on this. Currently it's not
there yet.

I think Autodesk replied here several weeks ago that they are looling at this. Try a search on ASME Y14.41 to find their response.

Sorry for not searching first, that would have
answered my question.  I found the message from August where Kevin mentions
that this is being incorporated in a future release.  I don't envy
him. 

I'm curious to see how the issue of file
translations is dealt with in this standard.  Thanks guys.
