When dealing with part families and a PDM system, in this case eMatrix, is there a recommended setup? Matrix supports part families in UG but we don't have Matrix setup to handle a "Template" file. So the question is what would we name this file. All the famaly members will have 8 digit part numbers that get attached to a "Part" item in Matrix. The files are named by this number.

One workaround was to make the first "size" in the family the template file (master). This doesn't seem to be way UG wants to handle this though as that size will not show up in the list when usign the part in assemblies.

How does Temacenter handle this?
