ProE- Family Table Question

ProE- Family Table Question

ProE- Family Table Question

(OP)
I'm using WF3 and I have a very large assembly. This assebly is now going to support several configuations. There is a configuration where I am removing a section of the machine. I created a group with all the parts associated with this section. I thought I could add a GROUP to a family tree and turn it off. It wont let me add it, even though there is a "group" selection when adding columns. I don't want to turn this table into a unmanagable monster table, so I don't want to add all the parts. I do know if I select a part and add it to a table and turn it off, it will also surpress all the children. This only takes care of 1/2 my parts. Many of the parts are not accosiated by assembly. Any Ideas???

RE: ProE- Family Table Question

I am not a big Pro/E guy, but my officemate says:
Sounds like doing family tables to large assemblies is going in the wrong direction. You should try looking at simplified reps to create your individual subassemblies as needed. That will allow you to turn parts on and off.
 

RE: ProE- Family Table Question

For some reason they never implemented that properly in the user interface.  Change the selection from group to feature and then pick your group.  It will be added to the family table.  This bug has been there for multiple releases.  Only PTC could release a $$$ product with such a flaw & never fix it.
