What's the best company for converting legacy 2D drawings into 3D CAD models? We have about 300 old sheets
We've got around 300 drawings from the 70s and 80s. Some are on Mylar, some are blueline prints, and a few are so faded to the point I can’t read the dimensions. Sizes run from B up to E, and we still make most of the parts.
Our goal is native Creo models we can edit later, not a STEP that opens in a viewer. I think a STEP can be a good solid without any feature history.
What would you ask for in a pilot to check editability and whether the model matches the drawing?
Should the vendor send a log of assumptions and missing dimensions with each model?
Has anyone done this? How did it go?
