When working with a master model, where should you ideally create a drawing of the model geometry?

Creating a drawing of the model geometry in a separate part, where the model geometry is added as a component of the drafting part, is ideal in a master model approach. This method helps maintain a clear distinction between the model design and the documentation process.

Using a separate part for drawings allows for enhanced organization and management of the different aspects of the design process. It ensures that any updates made to the model do not lead to confusion or inadvertent changes within the drawing itself. This separation also aids collaboration among team members who may work on the model and the documentation independently.

Moreover, embedding the model geometry as a component in the drafting part leverages Siemens NX’s capability to link the drawing directly to the source model. This results in updated drawings whenever modifications occur in the master model, thereby ensuring accuracy and consistency in documentation without duplicating efforts.

Overall, this approach follows best practices for organizing complex projects, promoting clarity, and facilitating smoother workflows among design teams.
