I'm wondering what the difference is between photoshopping versus using a CAD tool? As long as the dimensions are correct, I would think that the end-result would be identical from the perspective of the manufacturer. Heck, there was a time in which these things were generated with pen/pencil/ruler, and the manufacturer was able to work fine off those drawings.
Whatever tool you are competent with, is probably the correct one to use in these types of situations.
- Gibbon1 10y agoOne issue is that the manufacturer often has to convert the part drawing to a set of drawings for the tooling. That means they need to adapt the dimensions to their particular processes. In the case of a DB-19 the company likely has a cad drawing of a similar part they can adjust.
- PhasmaFelis 10y agoI would guess that none of the people involved had experience with CAD work, which makes it tricky to spot your own mistakes. If you work from someone else's template, you can be somewhat more confident that you're doing it right.
