Question

Split a family table into parts/assemblies

Hi !

I have a family table in an assembly which calls parts from a family table in a part.

eg. M6_bolt <bolt.asm> = M6_screw <screw.prt> + M6_nut <nut.prt>

It seems to be not so stable and makes a few errors in proE. So I need to clean it.

I want to split my familly table into separate assemblies. How can you do that ?

Thanks for your answers.

You can move a component to a subassembly in the model tree by right clicking the component then choose move to subassembly or you could create an sub assembly in the main assembly then move it where you would like it in the model tree then move or drag components to it.

It is still an issue for me. My assembly makes productpoint disconnect. I think it is because it doesn't like having an assembly (with a family table) made out of several parts from others familly tables (like explained in my first post, I hope I am clear enough and everyone understand).

So I need to split my generic assembly into as many independant assemblies as my family table. I heard there is (was ?) a way to do it but I don't know how !

I am not familiar with productpoint. I have never had the problem you are having. I don't see that being a problem. I would start moving components finding something that works then attack the ones that aren't. If it is a problem with productpoint then I am not the best to help you. Sorry.
