So this is a question I want to pose to the community. As the thread title states, should drawings be integrated into the part file?
So basically an extra tab will be added to the part workspace labelled 'Drawing' and switching to this tab will present the user with the interface from the drawing workspace and allow the user to create drawings as per usual. This means that the AD_DRW extension will no longer be required as all drawing sheets for that part will be in it's AD_PRT file. Powershape does this and I personally think it is a very good feature. It also makes saving an entire assembly along with all its drawings to a new location a much simpler task.
I feel strongly about this but would like to get some feedback on the idea before I post it to the suggestion page.
