Re: CAD team

we usually have 2-3 people doing Cad. Our cad relies on virtual components and multibody parts (for things like gearboxes which will never be machined in house). Typically there is one person driving the main assembly with a secondary person who does minor assemblies, helps with design work, and takes over when the main Cadders eyes feel like they are about to explode. a third and fourth person are used to make sure that what we Cad is available as far as stock goes, as well as to put in semi-important things that don't add any real functionality(speed holes, pockets, wire routing, ect.) Unfortunatly our schools computers slow down a ton on the weekends, so I will be bringing in my personal computer to supplement the school computer during this time. additional work for the 3rd and 4th members of the cad team will probably include converting .stp files to assemblies on the weekends as my computer has solid works 2012, where the school computers have solid works 2009.
