General Notes

GrabCAD new organisation and file naming

  • OTS components “<Supplier> #<prt_numb>.SLDPRT”
  • Set material/weight
  • Set appearance for photo-realism (not as important) 
  • might want another display state for modeling vs rendering
  • Each supplier will have a different supplier folder in OTS
  • Gimbal as a guide
  • Fabrication folder for purchase orders
  • Familiarise with file properties (implement soon if everyone is interested)
