Assembly Drawing Methods

Greetings,
I'm investigating various methods for creating assembly drawings and I'm curious what you may be using.

We currently create an IPF file and import it into a new .brd file. This, of course, creates a non-intelligent version of the graphics that must be updated manually (or via scripts) every time the board changes.

We've given some thought to producing drawings from within the main .brd file by importing the page border, but this seems to create more questions and what-ifs.

Another idea on the table is to export DXF to a "friendlier" drawing tool, such as Visio or AutoCAD.

What are your experiences and what tools or methods do you currently use?

Thanks in advance,
Scott

FWIW, on the scaling issue, we have created 1/4 and 1/2 scale formats that, when plotted at full scale, will produce 4/1 and 2/1 drawings.
