All,
I am working on a project where we will be making major changes to an existing assembly (a real one) and would like to document and control the required changes with Pro/E. I may have a reasonably complete Pro/E assembly of the real thing. Changes will be things like removing components, relocating components, cutting off lengths of parts, making new holes, etc.
I can easily just make a new assembly of what the final assembly might look like, but this will not communicate the Work Instructions to make the changes. Just to be clear, I have a handle on how to do the modeling; I just do not have a clear strategy for how to architect the model to document the required changes. I am thinking of using assembly cuts for the new hole patterns and cut-offs, perhaps BMX features to move components, etc. Can a family table be of use here? Other suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Matthew Ian Loew
