Part Family Drawings
Part Family Drawings
(OP)
Is it possible to automatically create drawings as part of a part family member creation for each member or is it just a case of a chart drawing at the top level?

I just did a save as of the drawing and then replaced the model as I remember correctly.
Did you try this?

I build all of the members for the solids.
I then open the drawing template file, go into the spreadsheet, select a member and click apply values. All of the dimensions become unassociated.

Using a part family member as a component works great. I have been doing this in Manufacturing for a long time and the associtity works. The drawings update as well.
Do not use the Template part only the family members.
Use the family member as a component.
Save the assembly as and replace the component. Depending on the version of NX you may need to close the component and use open component as. The dimensions should update.
If you delete the component and then add a new on you will loose the associtivy.

Our trial was to try and automate the drawing and component through the use of a part fmaily.

I am doing the same thing. I think the process that worked best was to use the part family and insert it as a component of another assembly, and then make a drawing template with dimension, and then right click replace component in the drawing.
RE: Part Family Drawings
We are using only a single component, not an assembly, but I think we will just create drawings for each part manually as they are pretty straight forward, we have achieved our main aim of reducing the time to model these components by using the part family system by 95%+ So happy days. Thanks again.
