How do I make Family Tables on Catia like Pro/E?

[mjcole]

I have a question about design tables.

I have used Pro/E family tables to create multiple part from a single model. I'n Pro/E when you open the Parent Part you can select which instance to open.

How can I do this in Catia?
I've tried working with Design Tables but don't know how to use them like family tables on Pro/E so I can choose which instance I want

Do I have to add a part name parameter in Knowledge advisor and link it to design table?

Thank you,
Michael

Hi mjcole,

What you can do is create a Catalog.
Start the Catalog Editor, pick Add Part Family, then browse to the part that contains the Design Table.
You might want to check the Help Docs for further instructions.

Hope that points you in the right place.
