Customer controlled models/drawings: My company will be utilizing our customer’s models but need to add parameters, bend allowances and instances for sheet metal flats to create internal drawings. These models will have anywhere from 20-300 parts/assemblies files. Unfortunately the customer doesn’t want to share our updated files. So in the future whenever a change is made by the customer we will receive a backup of the full model without any of these previously added parameters, bend allowance & instances. So this means each part/assembly changed will need to recreate parameters, bend allowances, & instances for each part/assembly. We do not use Windchill for this program.
Is there any work around anyone has come up with for keeping these parameters, bend allowances, & instances when receiving updated backup files from a customer?
