Loadoptions and partfalmily children
Loadoptions and partfalmily children
(OP)
I have question how load options for partfamily children are working. I prefer using from folder load option for my design on a local folder, the partfamily children are on a central share.
Using from folder doesn't work for the partfamilies. I found the UGII_INITIAL_FAMILY_INSTANCE_DIR let is point to the central share of the children. But load option from folder still doesn't work.
From the doc's it should work - what went wrong?

The only way to get your partfamily children is to use search options. Specify the share location first, then your local folder or './'.

Back to the original question, I'm not sure UGII_INITIAL_FAMILY_INSTANCE_DIR is going to solve this problem. It seems to apply more for the creation of the family parts rather than as a load option. I agree with Ben that an easy way to fix this is to use the 'search folders' load option. It works like the 'from folder' option but lets you add multiple locations to search in order of priority. You can also search subfolders by adding "..." after the folder name. Add your project location and the part family location and it should work.

I thaught the UGII_INITIAL_FAMILY_INSTANCE_DIR would work like the UGII_PATDIR for pattern- I think most of us will agree - hope that
John will read this, and agree. Symbolic links are only a workaround but ok.
