Hi all,
I think AS needs a proper solution when it comes to splitting large assemblies over multiple drawings. As it stands, there are workarounds, but none of them work very well...
To me, only a handful of tools would solve this problem:
- Should be able to move views and sections from the main detail to subsequent drawings.
- The views and sections should remain linked to the master drawing (so that callouts/names/references can be automated).
- Should have the ability to create a "blank" drawing so that we can have somewhere to copy this information onto.
- As it stands, Autodesk support have suggested using a "pickbox" detail style to generate partial views on subsequent sheets. This is not ideal given that the pickbox option does not allow for isolating the assembly and all attached / surrounding parts come onto the detail. Might seem insignificant, but this is a big issue... An option to isolate pickbox selection to an isolated assembly? Although I think if we could have the first three items, this workaround would not be needed.
Hope this is on the development radar...
Thanks,
Dart
