Using Family Tables To Create Drawings

$

Hey everyone,

 

At work we have about 20,000 models and drawings of different gears and most of which fit into 4 categories. Some of them are on different formats though and our drawing format has changed over the years. I am looking to get all of the drawings on the same template so that our machinists never have to search around for a dimension, it will just be in the same sot every time. I have figured out the family table for the 4 Macro families and understand how to update those, but it would take way to many hours than its worth to individually update each drawing. I looked into repeat regions but in our drawings we use a front view, right view, and then a iso view in the top right corner so we do not have room to put a large table on the drawing. For example, if we wanted to switch 7,500 parts from a black oxide finish to a clear zinc finish is there a way to do a mass update through family tables instead of going into each drawing and manually changing the finish block in the title block. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks
