How do mechanical engineers use flat file cabinets for technical drawings?

Mechanical engineering firms and manufacturing companies store mechanical drawings, assembly drawings, detail drawings, and manufacturing specifications in flat file cabinets. For legacy industries that used hand-drafted drawings (pre-CAD, or current hand drafting for specialized applications), flat file storage preserves original drawings in their intended flat format. For plotted CAD drawings, flat file storage prevents the curl and damage of rolled or folded output. Part drawings organized by part number in the flat file system support manufacturing operations that pull drawings daily. For drawing sets associated with specific customer projects, organize by customer or project number. FindOfficeFurniture.com — call 888-719-4960.
