Generic Drawing using configurations
Generic Drawing using configurations
(OP)
Hello. I have looked through the old posts and can't find an answer to this question even though it seems a pretty simple request. I have a simple part. The part is a rectangular bar. The bar has 10 configurations, each of which is different only in length. In a job I could use anywhere between 1 and 10 of these configurations of the same part.
Ideally I would like to have a generic drawing of these parts. Is there anyway to do this. I need one drawing somehow pulling in the 'length' dimension from all the configurations of the same part in a table/Bom or such. Then I would just dimension the generic drawings with a "L" dimensions. Thanks in advance.

Couldn't you just purchase it from BOM data? (ex: BAR; 0.25 x 2.00 x 12.00)
Maybe you over-simplified your question...
