I have several assemblies that never get mechanically attached to each other, but which comprise a system. Some of the assemblies are connected with data cables, but some are wireless. All together they make up a system. I need to create a drawing which calls out all of these assemblies, in some type of system level drawing. What type of drawing should it be, an Assembly drawing, an Installation drawing, or perhaps some other type of drawing? I wouldn't think that it could be an Assembly drawing, because I always thought that all components of an Assembly drawing had to be physically attached to each other. Your advice is appreciated. |

Speaking as one who has experienced the challenges of operating within a company whose CAD standards and practices were set up and monitored by bureaucrats (as opposed to engineers) whose only technical knowledge was in areas other than our division's business, I can tell you that whatever you do will be interpreted by others based on their own experiences. I think what you "call" a drawing isn't as important as the information it contains. It all gets down to commonly understood definitions. (We were not allowed to create overall electrical or pneumatic schematics for large machines because they happened not to "fit" their very limited definitions of what a "schematic" was.) All that aside, I think I would call it an Arrangement Drawing or even a System Drawing, and let it fly. The bottom line is whether or not the intended users of that drawing (ALL of them) will understand what you are trying to communicate and are able to use it for their purposes. |

Thanks for the advice. I think I will use an Arrangement Drawing. |
