In addition to what nutace mentions above, you may also have to update the view(s) for it to show up. One other thing to check is verifying you model is set to use either the Model reference set or Entire Part in your drawing.
When you say "Export to Drafting", are you referring to using the master model method where your model is a component in your drawing? If so, and the unwrap gives you what you want to see, you can still make this work. Its been a while since I used unwrap, but I think you can move that to a...
I have a master assembly file that I am using to drive the design of a bunch of sub-assemblies. Once I set the expressions for the configuration that I am looking for I would like to do a saveas to a new assembly file to save the configuration. Once that is done the file will never get updated...
I am trying to avoid cloning the children though. I dont want to create a bunch of unnecessary parts for something that is a create and forget assembly essentially. The only reason I want to save a particular configuration is so we can go back and look at it at a later time if need be.
Are the surfaces in the same part file or different files? If they are in different files you could try to unsew the surfaces you dont want in your current file, export the surfaces you want from the new file and import them into the file you want to contiue working in, and then sew them back...
Is there a way to wildcard interpart expressions?
For example, I have an assembly with 10 parts in it. Each part has some interpart expressions to the assembly. When I adjust the expressions in the assembly to drive the design of the parts I want to be able to save that particular configuration...
I have an assembly where I have some sub assemblies that are suppressed/unsuppressed depending on the value of an expression. When I unsuppress one of the sub-assemblies it becomes active again, but the components are not visible on screen. I have to go into the assembly navigator and select the...
2013. I figured out a work around, but it doesn't make sense. As of right now with the formulas on sheet 2 of the Excel file, I can make the cells on Sheet 1 equal the appropriate cells on Sheet. This displays on the drawing the way I would expect it to. Not sure why with the formulas on sheet 1...
I do a lot of part family drawings where we pull in data from the Model files on an excel spreadsheet. We will setup expressions and associative measurements in the Model files that change from part to part that we want to display on a variation table on the drawing. With either the model files...
You could try either using a stand alone spline and trying to get the shape you are looking for or if you know the path you want you could create a point set and then use spline to connect the dots.
I have an Assembly Part Family that I am trying to update on the member on and I am getting the following error:
Failed to update family member XXXXXXX (this is the part number)
Part failed to save - error handling failed
I have had this in the part and our help desk said to roll a new rev...
I figured out where I went wrong on this. What the issue is I am created a symmetric assembly and now want to create an asymmetric assembly. If the parent part is the symmetric version, only one compnent shows up as an available componet to add to the part family. If I update the parent to be...
I am creating an assembly part family of some components. I have 2 components that are a part of my family that are a left and right side. The part numbers of the components are in the format of 123456-L and 123456-R for the left and right side. When I create the part family and look to add the...
Does assembly arrangements allow the use of different components or is strictly only for different positions of one component? Is there another way I can show component subsitution in an assembly without creating a bunch of different assy files or revisions?
Thanks,
Randy
