(OP)
i found how the UDF works, but the thing i actually want is when i try to insert a UDF (like a keyway in an axle), i can modify the expressions myself. whay i really want/need is that when i select an axle the expressions will change themselves based on the value of the diameter. so i sort of need the same pop up as when i try to import the mother part of family members but then with an UDF. how is this made? is there a way to put an excel file on the UDF?

You could create a 'Family Table' of tool solids which after you place one, you would then manually perform the required Boolean operation with.

On second thought, that wouldn't work as well as it might...

hahaha, i also had no idea what you meant.. but thats not a problem!
but you understand what i want right?
and if the automatic configuration doesnt work or is impossible, the way i mentioned after that is also good, that when i select a diameter of 20. it will search for every value that matches with that diameter of 20
