Question

The documentation is confusing. Are there any examples out there? There seems to a lot potential for EXF subassemblies, but I never seem to get it right.

I have been using advaced features of ProE/Creo for ten years.

    Dear Paul

    In EFX subassemblies, active main assembly and active subassembly we have two option, just like consider that main assembely as top level assembly in EFX. And consider that sub assembly as bereating ;ow to efx top level assembelies.

    why we creating efx sub-assembiles?

    In case in feature you have to copy them group and you want keep them in any other structure it's very easy to copy in EFX so on.

    for example:

    You are generating BOM

    1.120X60X6

    2.150X6X6

    Two types of profile you using.

    Noe if you generate bom you will get all part name and sizes only in table.

    If you create sub assembiles for any one size then you will know the difference and you can easily identify easily.

        I am working on build a superframe chassis, in that I am facing a problem that I cannot include more than 20 elements in EFX Assembling , Please give me a guide to increase the element number in that assembly session, or give me an idea to complete my drawing. I m using Student Academic version of  PTC CREO.
