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)
