V5 using Assembly Features for machined assembly

V5 using Assembly Features for machined assembly

V5 using Assembly Features for machined assembly

(OP)
Scenario.

I have an assembly of parts. This assembly, CATproduct, is then machined - holes added, diameters machined, under another assembly number.

I have made each assembly identical, they each use the same CATpart, except I have used assembly features in the machined assembly to produce the holes and machined diameters.

I intend to have the assembly features inactive in the Catparts by default, and activate them when I need to produce the machined assembly drawing, or work on the machined assembly.

I am a new V5 user and have a feeling I am not handling this in the best way - any advice would be appreciated.

Thankyou.

RE: V5 using Assembly Features for machined assembly

duncancat - pulled from an R18 update slide on assembly design enhancements.

•New assembly feature that generates a single “machined”part from an assembly of parts
•Part preparation can now be done and machining operations added in the context of the assembly without modifying the reference parts
•Targeting Industrial Equipment industry

Regards,
Derek

RE: V5 using Assembly Features for machined assembly

(OP)

I am using R14.

Im starting to think it may be best to have a two sets of Catparts, one used in the machined Catproduct and one in the fabricated Catproduct, although this makes modifications longer and needs cross referencing on part numbers.

I guess thats why its been introduced for R18....
Thanks
