guidelines to lighten perforated sheet files

[Roby-iso75]

Good morning.
- provided that it is necessary to avoid drawing the holes of the perforated plates... and until now I have always applied a thousand escamotage to approximate the design to reality....
- for a salesman I need to draw complete and real perforated sheet panels.
I have to manage both developments, and configurations, assembling the whole complete with screws, washers, managing distinct , weights, etc. etc.
-15x15 framework hole, step 20 (the shape of the hole should be irrelevant. . . )
what are the guidelines you suggest to make these files lighter and manageable?
Thank you.

do some tests also by activating and deactivating the normal cut; I don't remember which one is faster

@roby-iso75, maybe let us know something about your progress, so instead of waiting for guidelines you suggest them!

there were no substantial shortcuts . I only divided into 2 stages the work:
the "exthetical" cut in one file and the sheet part in another.
I managed separately in a file what was the "drawing" to be cut, which I then inserted and subtracted into a sheet metal part.
This allowed me to easily manage changes, even extended, of cuts.
then I froze all the work

p.s.
Unfortunately, for reasons of intellectual property, I cannot share images, nor the two created parts.

It is not clear at all the procedure.
even without attaching anything you could be more precise for those who will have your own problem.

Do you need notifications to check the discussions you opened?

I created a part "a" in which I inserted the sketch of the cut I wanted to perform, then I extruded it to get a solid.
I created a "b" part of sheet metal, with the edges, the flanges, the holes I needed.
I entered the "a" part in the "b" part and with the combined command I subtracted the volume I had created.
So I used the "b" part in my assemblies.
This procedure allowed me to work separately on the cut (very complex) and on the sheet panel.

Sorry but I didn't understand which advantage leads to the sketch of the cut in a separate part and insert it as part in the part and then subtract the volumes.
It does not happen often, at least to me, to need to have perforated sheets represented in whole if they are especially of trade or patterns repeated and constant.

I use perforated sheets in my assemblies, are shelters for hot parts, the rockets with custom holes, sometimes adding the logo of the company.
Once finished, I create the dxf tables of development and laser cutting.
for repeated holes I create only one hole and then I apply a guided repetition, turning off in case the points where I don't want there are holes but the corporate logo, made with an ad hoc sketch

the advantage could be to manage sheet processing without having the heaviness of drilling functions.
certainly without having data like performance statistics results you can not know if this procedure is actually useful.

exactly, only in the hypothesis of not being able to use perforated plates from trade or repeated patterns, I found a little advantageous to divide the two processes (the sheet metal object and the "drawing") .
