Reuse Library instead of the old Part Family Function ?
(OP)
At this time I am doing a lot of training to users comming from Pro/E or S/E and they don't like our Part Family Function.
Is it possible to use Reuse Library instead of the old Part Family Function ?
Most of my customer are using NX7.5 but I also use NX8 and NX8.5
TIA

RE: Reuse Library instead of the old Part Family Function ?
You want to use reuse library to do what ?
It is possible depending on what you want it to do.
Are you adding part family components thru File -Open ? ( Or thru the reuse library ?)
Part Families has a few unique options , Reuse components ( i.e krx files and excel sheets) has a few unique options...
two examples :
The reuse library components has a very nice user interface if one sets it up.
Part families has the ability to update children parts.
etc etc

Family member are important in the design environment.
Reuse Library is a content of resource not the resource.
I suggest you to investigate better.
Thank you...

I hoped that reuse library has the ability to update children parts like part families, but definitly no
Is it planned to enhance the UI ?

I use both functionalities and both are with their pro's and con's.
Could your customers be a bit more precise on what they do'n like in Part families?
There is a lot off knowledge in this forums users...

RE: Reuse Library instead of the old Part Family Function ?
all it's clear.
Yours master family parts can be/are reuse library component.
I suggest you to download some documents from gtac to understand how to convert you master family part into reuse library components.
The conversion is very simple, you need to put your master in the right folder and create related krx file.
After that you can have more opportunity.
Read the help also and the Cast online, always downloadbel from GTAC.
Thank you...
