Hello,
Can anyone help me with my below question, whether it is possible or not in any way in UGNX 8.5?
I deal with few military connectors/component modeling.
I'll create a connector with shell size 16 again If I need the same connector with different shell size (eg 14) I'm cloning the shell size 16 and re sizing the dimensions to get shell size 14. And for some connectors there will be 10 to 15 shell sizes, in that cases it was taking more time.

I don't know if this is possible or not. But, I'm thinking to do like this.(Please help me)
I'll create one (large or small) shell size connector and if I need the same type of connector with different shell size. Is there any way to get it done automatic modeling and drafting with three views iso, top and front is enough by using the first created model?
I have attached an example of shell sizes.

Any help and suggestions much appreciated
Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks & Regards,
Sam

Maybe you can consider Part Families (Tools meun) for this. Then, you can also call the Part Families spreadsheet on a drafting. So, you can have one drawing with a table for all variants. Just like on your pdf.
