Family Table

(OP)
Is there an easy way to find out what family template a part came from? Some simple like info. I know that if the part is in an assembly NX will look for the template file.

RE: Family Table

Just select the Component Part (the Family Member) while in the Assembly, press MB3, select 'Properties', select the 'General' tab and then select the 'Info' icon [!]. In the first group of items in the report there will be a line which states 'Family Member of:' and then will provide the complete path name to the Family Master used to create the Family Member.

RE: Family Table

There is one more trick:
Open the Family Member. Goto Tools->Part Families...
A message will be displayed, including file name & path of the Tamplate Part!
