Family tables - Components with Family Tables
(OP)
Hello All,
I have a component (a Compact fan) which consists of approx 20 varients of a basic fan type.
I am trying to create an assembly with this component that has various parts added to it , all controlled by a Family Table.
I have no problem adding the parts and controlling their presence via the Family Table, but I can't seem to change the type of fan used via the Assembly family table. I've looked through the Help on Pro/E and have found nothing useful.
Any help or ideas would be great as I am rapidly losing it !!!
Thanks in advance
Peter J Francis

IUf so, then just make sure to add the fan component in the family table, and manulayy enter the correct instance name n place of the Generic or "*". Or use the toolbar, and select "Tols", "Replace Using > Family Table".

It's so obvious when you do it , I just wonder why the Pro/E help files don't cover these sort of things.
Perhaps they wouldn't sell so many training courses if they did
Thanks again
