Our mechanical engineering supervisor is suggesting that we discontinue dimensioning 2D drawings in order to speed up the drawing process. His position is that the manufacturer does not look at the 2D drawings since the IGES or STL file they receive contains all of the information they need to make the part. He is suggesting instead that the 2D drawing have only "envelope" dimensions that describe the general configuration of the part. Does anyone out there see any potential problems with this concept of not dimensioning the 2D drawing? I would appreciate any logical response.
Thanks fellow Solidworks drivers.
