Hi All,

Do any of you have recommended software program (maybe shareware)that makes makes family trees of ProE assemblies. We currently use an DOS version of OrgPlus which is a chore to use.

Tofflemire,

Can you elaborate a bit, please?

Hi Hora,

I would like to be able to import a assembly with subassemblies under it. The software would branch down (tree) just the assemblies and sub-assemblies. Sort of what is below


top assy
/ \
sub1 sub2
/ \
sub1.1 sub2.1

I am still confused. You want to import an assembly into ProE? Or to export a proe assembly and import it into another software?

Or you want only to export the assembly tree as a text or something?

Hi Hora,

I would like to export a ProE assembly in a format??? that this other software can import (accept) and create a family tree.

Sounds like you are looking for a structured multilevel BOM output. I don't have the answer as of yet. Just trying to clarify the question.

Assuming this is your goal, have you taken a look at the Info/Global Reference Viewer output file?

Under the Filter Settings, select Component, All, and All Objects. Then under the File tab, click Save As Text. The output looks like this:
|***************************|
REFERENCE VIEWER TREE
|***************************|

All objects with External and Local Component References.


Object Name
---------------------------------------------------
TOPLEVEL.ASM
Component id 20 (FIRSTPART.PRT)
FIRSTSUB.ASM
Component id 21 (FIRSTSUBPART1.PRT)
Component id 25 (FIRSTSUBPART2.PRT)
Component id 28 (FIRSTSUBPART2.PRT)
Component id 31 (FIRSTSUBPART3.PRT)
Component id 120 (SECONDPART.PRT)
Component id 121 (THIRDPART.PRT)
Component id 122 (THIRDPART.PRT)
SECONDSUB.ASM
Component id 103 (SECONDSUBPART1.PRT)
FIRSTSUBSUB.ASM
Component id 39 (FIRSTSUBSUBPART1.PRT)
Component id 99 (FIRSTSUBSUBPART2.PRT)
SECONDSUBSUB.ASM
Component id 39 (SECONDSUBSUBPART1.PRT)
Component id 40 (SECONDSUBSUBPART2.PRT)
Component id 43 (SECONDSUBSUBPART3.PRT)
Component id 348 (FOURTHPART.PRT)
---------------------------------------------------

Current Object : None

It's not the graphical tree you were drawing, but it shows the structure, just as if you did an expand-all in the model tree.

Toffemire,

Go in your tree, expand all components and just simply save it as text.

-Hora
 
Hi All,

What software do I use to import the text file into to make a family tree? I have a PDF file of what I am trying to achieve, but do not know how to insert it into this forum.

You might take a look at TREE/Pro. I am the developer of this program.
