| Umdpru, yes it will take more then 2 days to reverse heli to production precisions, if you use common techniques (you create model individually and then put them in assembly), but SW has capabilities of create blocks (for each part in assembly) within one sketch, where you can sketch single part individually within a block, so entire assembly can be sketched at ones, then every sketch within block can be 3D modeled individually as individual part. Then create your assembly. Now if you use 08 version of SW, there is DimExpert and TolPatrol functions which will give you precisions you want to automatically (just set it up), then if you want to modify your part (which for some reason doesn't work in assembly) do not open it, just use "edit part" within assembly and all done in a seconds.
Just use all capabilities of SW.
I use SW 08 at my work-it is dangerously fast to design. No need to put dimensions any more-set up your preferences, drag and go.
