Interchange + family tables

Hi,

I have a problem with replacing sub assemblies through a interchange assembly in an other fam. table.

For example:

  • 0211545_PLAC005.ASM is an instance of BUSHING_PLAC005.ASM
    This has a arcing horn 0215353_PLAC002.ASM and is an instance of ARCING_HORN_BOTTOM_PLAC002.ASM.
  • 0211575_PLAC005.ASM is an instance of BUSHING_PLAC005.ASM
    This has a arcing horn 0215353_PLAC003.ASM and is an instance of ARCING_HORN_BOTTOM_PLAC003.ASM.

I have placed generic models ARCING_HORN_BOTTOM_PLAC002.ASM and ARCING_HORN_BOTTOM_PLAC003.ASM in a interchange assembly.

The problem is now if I replace 0211545_PLAC005.ASM to 0211575_PLAC005.ASM it can not find assembly 0215353_PLAC003.ASM.

I think it should find it through the interchange assembly but it does not work properly. If I retrieve the assembly 0215353_PLAC003.ASM in session then it works but it should it automatically.

How can I let it work properly?

Best regards, Koen.

Is everything in the same directory? You may just be having a search path problem.

Hi, the models are in a library. Not in the working directory. But I work with a catalog file and all the models in the library are in the same folder.

But I will investigate this further on monday.

Best regards, Koen.
