Family table of assembly parts

[Tgatica]

Is there a way to create a family table that will select different versions of components? My example is an assembly file of a bearing. The two components are the inner and outer rings. Each ring is defined as a family table component. How would I set up the assembly file family table so I can select a certain size bearing and have it pull the correct size inner and outer rings?

Thanks,
Tony

If it is a manual method:

Once the generic assembly is made, pick the component instance and use TOOLS/REPLACE USING FAMILY TABLE.

If it is an automated process;

Use ProProgram to select the correct sized instances. You will need to select or create a series of parameters that can be used to relate the assembly with the correct component instances.

Thanks 3dlogix!

I used your manual method in conjunction with the "edit with Excel" feature to quickly set up my assemly-level part family.
