Populating parts / drafts

Populating parts / drafts

Populating parts / drafts

(OP)
I have a created a family of parts within on part, i would then like to populate these parts to create a series of different parts that stand independantly.

However all of these parts need to have drafts asociated with them, which all have the same format of dimensions etc in the draft environment.

Is there a method of makinng copies of a standard draft when populatingthe parts of the family?

I am also considering teamcentre for our business, we have 8 draftsman + in four locatiosn around the world which all work on the same projects. any ideas of a system and orgnaisations would be appericated.

Many Thanks.

RE: Populating parts / drafts

Hi,

Make one drawing (dft) with one of the family of part populated member. Save this drawing. Click File/create quick sheet template. Then start a new drawing with this quicksheet template and drag/drop (from library in Edgebar) another FOP member on top of the rectangles.

OR (might be better in order to keep the dimensions) open the 1st dft in the revision manager, make a copy of the dft (change name to 2nd FOP member). Then replace the 3D model file (par or psm) with the next FOP member (still in revision manager : Right click/set action to replace)
NB: you can also use save as when in the dft file in SE and Edit/Links (if you want to stay inside SE). It does the same thing (change source + update now + update views).
