Hi,

I am trying to create a set of Standard Frames for our company. As an example, I would like to to have something like the ToolBox parts, where you can choose various options eg. screw length, screw size. But, I would like to have many different combinations, such as Frame width, Frame Depth, Frame height, Guarding, No Guarding, Overhead Light, Safety Light Curtain... Then the designer could choose from a drop-down list from the available sizes and options. Can I do this through toolbox or is there a better way to do it using design tables? Any help would be appreciated.

Best Regards,

Jason

If you build a file like a Toolbox part then you will have to have some type of Access Database built for them.

You could use VB to set this up using a master part file.

you set this up through a DT probably.

Those are a couple of way I can think of off the top of my head.
