Part Families in TCE with different Item types

I'd like to begin using Part Families, however, our historical method of indicating a drawing that controls many other parts that vary only in one value we have called an S-drawing. In TCE our S-drawings have a specific Item type, and our Standard-drawings have another type.

When creating a part family, it needs to be on an S-drawing, but if I begin with an S-drawing type part as the template part, and then try to "assign part numbers" within the template part spreadsheet it assigns S-drawing type part numbers. I need it to assign Standard-drawing type part numbers. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks

So you want to create an ass'y with a part family table. Is this what you want to do??

If you tell me a little more about what you're trying to do I might be able to help you. What does the ass'y structure look like? Let me know and I'll write you back...
