An Excel Spreadsheet for Efficient CAD Modeling
Hello CD Community! I thought it might be beneficial to some teams to use a spreadsheet like our team is using. This is specifically beneficial to teams with very low manpower and little or one person doing all of the CAD.
This spreadsheet is designed to allow for a CAD modeling student to only need the CAD program and this spreadsheet open while modeling. It includes info about every part our team uses as well as transmission and pneumatic calculators all on one screen. Each title is linked to the mechanical drawings and user manuals for more info. (This will not work for you unless you re-hyperlink the files, because they are on my hard drive). Also included in other tabs are a CAW, an inventory worksheet, and a place to paste data from the calculators for quick future reference.
I encourage teams to create their own spreadsheet like this or modify mine to suit your specific mechanical design style.
I hope I can help the smaller team out there increase their CAD skills! Thanks.

BkeeneykidLooks like a great idea! I'll certainly come up with something similar for our own team.
Side note: on UNIX systems, files with a dot in the front of them are reserved system files, and do not show up by default without a special property set. You might want to rename these to avoid some confusion.
