Wow the scanner is such a game changer, how hard is it to make parts off of it? Will drawings just snap to the part or is there post processing to do before you can bring it in to assembly

There's typically an extensive amount of post-processing required. The scanner software gives you a mesh, which is very different from a cad model. Usually when designing parts you only need to pick up a few features such as bolt holes, so you'll align the mesh to a plane and then sketch out and constrain all of the relevant geometries. You're basically just skipping the hand-measuring part, but not really skipping any of the work cad-side
