Directly documented in a contemporaneous one-year overview; not combined with unreconciled cover or unit aggregates.
Manual recreation across dozens of drawings would have multiplied update effort and increased the chance of package inconsistency.
A high-volume airport column-cover program required coordinated model, drawing, metadata, and package output across many configured conditions.
Accepted configuration data became the starting point for coordinated models, drawings, exports, and release packages.
Accepted job data drove Inventor parameters, coordinated model and drawing state, metadata, PDF/DXF output, and package collection.
The public demo shows an Inventor/iLogic/VB.NET configurator; a contemporaneous overview records 35+ automated column-cover drawings and source matches the Salt Lake City Airport awarded-job path.
Open technical detailThe implementation supported 35+ directly documented automated drawings while keeping engineering release accountable.
The model shows accepted examples, deterministic checks, exceptions, reviewer decisions, and handoff without exposing protected customer artifacts.

Order-to-output evidence matrix — Prior employment at Fry Reglet · public demonstrations. A public-safe reconstruction paired with three public demonstrations; it contains no employer drawings or rules.
The workflow keeps commercial, engineering, and production outputs tied to one governed source decision and one accountable release gate.
Quote-to-CAD/BOM/document/production flow — Prior employment at Fry Reglet · public demonstrations. Derived from source-backed implementation boundaries without employer records or rules.
The reconstructed SLC flow exposes coordinated assembly, drawing, package, validation, revision, and release evidence without publishing employer artifacts.
SLC configurator input-to-release flow — Prior employment at Fry Reglet · public demonstrations. Derived from direct source, the contemporaneous overview, and the public demonstration.
The BOM diagram exposes traversal, classification, exception, reconciliation, and release boundaries while proprietary classification values remain private.
