Hi,
I'm working to define our internal process to document boards for production.
Specifically, I'm having a difficult time generating assembly drawings.
After much discussion, we decided the best path is to use AutoCAD. It allows
a great deal of flexibility to scale, rotate, and position the details for
improving communication with the production staff. I use Gerber files
converted to DXF via Camtastic.
Here's the problem. AutoCAD is dirt slow when it comes to redrawing the
screen. A simple two layer board takes seconds to redraw with only the
silk-screen layer imported. The entire layout in Protel or Camtastic is very
quick to redraw. It's killing the process.
Questions:
1.) Is there any way to improve the redraw speed in AutoCAD short of moving
from my P3, 600Mhz, 256M RAM to a faster computer?
2.) How do others generate documentation?
3.) Any other recommendations?
Thank you,
Steve Allen
