WF5 Placement Sets in Family Tables?

OK, this seems fairly basic. I am trying to create three different configurations of an assembly where one part has multiple positions. I can set up multiple placement sets but I cannot add the placement sets to the family table to turn them on/off. i.e. One part has three holes; instance one is aligned with hole 1, instance two is aligned with hole 2, and instance three is aligned with hole 3. Is this impossible for Pro/E to understand? Thanks.

Hi,
I do not understand what is incomprehensible. You can create different configuration using the family table or by representation.
 
Nope, sorry Laik. 3DDave is correct. You cannot include assembly mates in family tables. Like many other shortcomings of ProE, I had to do a workaround.
 
Hi,
OK [dazed], but you can insert part in 3 different position and in family table suppres unnecessary for the relevant configuration.
