use a family table for a custom component

Question

Hi all,

I create a custom catalog in IFX.

this catalog is a legacy family table. first, I add all the instances in the .dat file, like this:

SCREWTYPE 4
UNIT MM

SURFACE 226
AXIS 267
CBSCR DIN974-2 R1
INFO Vis Rabourdin

SYMBOL STRING DN LG B S DK K DG P
INSTANCE STRING DN LG B S DK K DG P
1021_5_08<VIS_RABOURDIN> M6 6 16 8 3 9 4 5 1
1021_5_10<VIS_RABOURDIN> M6 6 18 8 3 9 4 5 1
1021_5_12<VIS_RABOURDIN> M6 6 20 8 3 9 4 5 1
1021_5_14<VIS_RABOURDIN> M6 6 22 8 3 9 4 5 1
1021_5_16<VIS_RABOURDIN> M6 6 24 8 3 9 4 5 1

...

and then I would like to try using the FAMPRT keyword.

so I create the .dat file like this:

SCREWTYPE 4
UNIT MM

SURFACE 226
AXIS 267
CBSCR DIN974-2 R1
INFO Vis Rabourdin

FAMPRT vis_rabourdin
SYMBOL STRING DN LG B S DK K DG
INSTANCE STRING DN LG B S DK K DG
#FAMTAB M<DN> d44 d47 d48 d56 d45 d46 d43

but it's worse.

I have CREO error message :

'vis_rabourdin' ne peut pas être récupéré.
Aucune donnée valide trouvée.
DN vis_rabourdin.dat

(it saying that vis_rabourdin cannot be retrieve)

and the IFX pop-up is empty for all catalogs!

does someone can help me to understand what is wrong please?

Hi Ronan,

I had a look at your example. Everything seems to be correct.

Please move your generic to a archive (set search_path) an try it again with my attached files.

I have added the following examples:

all famtab instances in the *.dat file
Mapping to the generic with ALL fasteners
Mapping to the generic using MUST filter. Only show DN=6
Mapping to the generic using NOT filter. Show all DN but not 6

Find more details in the HelpCenter

Regards,

Oli
