Mixing Simplified Reps and Family Tables

[dgallup]

Using WF 4

I have always been a big user of family tables. We tend to have multiple component variations in our assemblies and it's so easy to have different instances of components in different instances of assemblies.

Recently I tried using simplified reps for a low level assembly which has worked out well for the drawings up to the level of that assembly. Now I want to add variants of that assembly in an upper level assembly. Normally I would add the generic low level assembly to the family table of the upper level assembly and then for specific instances replace using a family table instance of the low level assembly. I can't do that as in this case, I have no instances, only simplified reps. I don't see any way to use simplified reps in a family table.

Have I totally screwed up mixing family tables and simplified reps? What should I do now?
