Interpart Expressions of Part Families?

Interpart Expressions of Part Families?

Interpart Expressions of Part Families?

(OP)
Hi,

  I created a component & created a part family table in it.  This component design intent is to drive an upper level component, in which a few more features will be added onto it.

  Is it possible to have inter-part expressions or links between part family tables that are in two different UG files?  

  I'm trying to avoid having two duplicate tables to control

Thanks

RE: Interpart Expressions of Part Families?

There should be no problem using any Expression in a Family Table part as an interpart expression to drive some value in another part file.  However, you will find it difficult (actually impossible) to drive any Expression value INSIDE a file created from a Family Table since once created, you can NOT edit them since they are READ-ONLY (and note that this is set INSIDE the part file at the NX level not the OS so the user can NOT change it).
