All, Since we branched out into alternatives I'll add this. The drafting package of any CAD software is typically the most cumbersome and difficult to master. For the miscellaneous ECAE packages that I use I'll often use power point foe fabrication and assembly drawings.. A slide can be formatted to any size, and the customers format can be put on the slide master. Screen captures of a pwb with a few interface dimension is pasted in and then add the verbiage about the database controlling all features not dimensioned. I'm not certain of the usefulness of a drill drawing any longer. Is anything inspected to the pwb image and drill symbols, or is it just a place to put the drill table? John
