Not really. The majority of what I inspect is military parts based on drawings from 1947 to the early 1990's. In most cases, there were never CAD models and nobody wants to spend the time or money to create them. I also have to deal with outdated GD&T symbols as well.
Also, the other CMM/quality person does everything on an old manual CMM that runs of GEO PAK. He has no idea how to use PC DMIS and GEO PAK cannot use CAD models. It wasn't until I started here a few years ago that they even thought about CAD models for inspection. I do everything by programming off of physical parts as they come in for inspection.
