Multiple Configurations By Multiple Product Files Using The Same Parts
Multiple Configurations By Multiple Product Files Using The Same Parts
(OP)
Using Catia V5R19, Service Pack 8, Build Number 19;
I would like to achieve the following;
Product 1, Part B mounts to Part A at location 1 for specimen 1
Product 2, Part B mounts to the same Part A at Location 2 for specimen 2
I need to locate mounting holes in Part A by means of "in-context" designing using the two products with different locations.
Can I do this without having to create copies of the parts?
Any response will be greatly appreciated!

RE: Multiple Configurations By Multiple Product Files Using The Same Parts
A way around would be to create the in-context links in Product 1 / Part A, then isolate them. Next create the in-context links in Product 2 / Part A. You'll be best off isolating those as well.
A second way would be to use an independent "skeleton" file, that drives the geometry of all the parts involved.
Hope that helps,
Mark
