MD 2 - Design Variables Across Variant Assemblies

[stuff]

I am using Desktop 2.0 to create a reasonably complex assmbly model that is driven by global variables. The assembly is built using some standard parts and some variant parts.&nbsp;&nbsp;Both the standard parts and the variant parts are driven by global variables.&nbsp;&nbsp;That's all fine.<br><br>When I use several instances of this (sub)assembly in one file, I can't change each assembly's variables independantly, even if I assign some as Part Variables.&nbsp;&nbsp;This is because each part has the same name across each assembly.&nbsp;&nbsp;However, I don't want to create seperate sets of part names for each variant assembly because the model administration will become too complex (several parts per assy, up to 16 different assys).<br><br>I know Desktop 4 allows table-driven assemblies, but I'm not sure if that solves my problem.<br><br>Can anyone tell me if I can do this in Desktop 4, or if there a method suitable for Desktop 2.<br><br>Thanks in advance.<br><br><br>Troubled Bloke<br><br>
