Hi:
I want to drive by relation a dimension of a subassembly using a dimension of the main assembly. The "Show Relations"
window shows the desired value, but the value in my model gets its generic one.
Can anyone help?
Thanx
 
The easiest wayt to do this is to show the assembly level that has both your parts.

Select modify and the features and dimensions that you want to control.

Select SWITCH DIM and note the symbolic values (eg: d12:01) and use these in the relations.

There are other ways, but this is quick and cheap.

I did try a few times and it worked in the current model only. When I retreave another instanse (assembly) ProE updates session ID's of components, members of the assembly I have placed relation only. All subassembly components remain with session ID's not updated.
I will appreciate any help!
Thanks
