Business Needs
Develop an automation tool for finding all drawings related to any standard component used in a particular assembly. Once the documents are found, they have to be copied in a structured folder and change the document references as and when needed.
Challenges
Developed macro in Autodesk Inventor to automatically fetch drawing documents and 3D CAD models of the standard components used in the assembly.
The manufacturer approached Hitech design automation engineers with his concerns of prolonged design cycles affecting the final product delivery. Automation engineers examined the originally shared CAD libraries by manufacturing firm’s design teams.
The development of such a tool helped the design team at manufacturer’s facility to significantly reduce errors and increase production rate.
