Hello All,
As I've not received any advice perhaps I need to explain myself a little better.
The part family I'd like to create has a child component from which I have created an interpart expression - "TCG01000462694/A"::Dia and then the expression 'Clip_Dia' uses this as a formula.
When I...
I'm trying to use an interpart expression in a Part family. I can see the expression listed as User Defined but on opening the Part family dialogue I can't see it or find it.
Am I doing something wrong, can I even use interpart expressions within a part family?
In NX6 is it possible to create an associative point at the intersection of 3 datum planes?
It's probably very simple but I can't find it... I've tried using Datum/Point and Curve from Bodies - intersect & section to no avail.
Regards,
Mick.
Hello John,
I have used family parts and understand how the family table works, suppose I was just hoping for an easy fix that didn’t involve putting over 350 variants in the spreadsheet.
Plus, as I said, I’m worried a family part of that size will cause problems (unexpected JETI exception)...
They are to be used in tooling fixtures and invariably only a few different sizes will be used as and when required; but the one I don’t produce will be the one someone asks for…
There are over 300 variants (having now been asked to provide both light & heavy duty) and I was hoping for an easier...
Thanks Michael
My concern with deformable parts is that the diameter & length could then be given arbitrary sizes that are not within a standard range and as the dowel should be in our Standard Parts library I’m not sure that would be acceptable.
I would also have to add ‘material thickness’...
I have a series of varying diameter spring dowels and for each diameter there are different lengths; if I had one part number for every dia/length variant there would be close to 160 parts.
I don’t know if this is possible but I’d like to create a part family that uses user prompts ie. The user...
