Family table parts in family table assembly
Family table parts in family table assembly
(OP)
I am trying to make an assembly in wf3 with parts that are themselves family table structured.
An example: I have washers M2 M3 M4 M5 and so on, i also have bolts M2 M3 M4 M5 M6 and so on. i now want to make an assembly that has its own family tree. I would like to be able to pic a whole boltkit ant directly have the right parts chosen for this from the family tree.
I have searched for an answer to this and im not sure that it has not been answerd before, the closest i could find to an answer was too hard to understand.

If you used assembly constraints (primary datum planes and axes) that exist in all instances Pro/E will have no problem constructing all the assembly instances. Use the Verify tool to ensure they all work.

For example:
Family Table: TEST
Instance Name Bolt Washer
TEST BOLT WASHER
TEST_1 M3_BOLT M3_WASHER
TEST_2 M6_BOLT M6_WASHER
TEST_3 M10_BOLT M10_WASHER
Where BOLT is the generic bolt and has instances M3_BOLT, M6_BOLT etc.
Hope this works for you.....
