Question

Defining a assembly with options for different positions

I am using Creo Parametric Release 7.0 and Datecode7.0.9.0 This is not my exact problem but I think might help explain my problem. Imagine I have an assembly of a mechanical based clock. It is an assembly of many assemblies and parts within. Many layers deep. Various parts of the mechanism move and I would like to define several assembly positions. For example....I would like to load the clock assembly showing the position of all the external and internal parts in 12:00 position.....3pm position and say 18:15 position. The BOM stays the same. Can you provide some clues on how I might achieve this? For example, Can I use just simplified reps? Its the many layers deep which I'm struggling with.

I THINK you can use Creo mechanism and Snapshot to do this.  You can move items in assembly that are 'mechanised' and save those views. You can then recall those snapshots in drawings.

 

 

Our previous workflow used to do family tables and call them States.  So we'd have annoying family table with many iterations just to show a door open or something.
