propagate attributes into other part

hello all,

 

what's your favorit way to share an attribute into another model?

let me explain:

in a skeleton, I have defined several attributes and dimensions that are necessary to use in the other components.

I can make a copy of geometry, lenght analysis saved in the tree model to reuse the information, but it's very hard to use.

 

in fact, instead of a copy of geometry, I would like to make a copy of attributes!

 

 

thanks for answering,

Ronan

Hi all,

finally this is the tip I used:

in the first part I create attributes associated to a sketch curve. These attributes are controled by a relation like:

BASE:CRV_ATTRIBUTES=BASE

with BASE is the name of the attribute and ATTRIBUTES is the name of the curve.

then on the other parts I add a copy of this geometry and I specify the reverse relation:

BASE=BASE:CRV_ATTRIBUTES

and it works!

thank to all for your answers

Have you tried using a layout?

I just re-read your question. You want to copy analysis features, etc. in that case an inheritance feature could be useful, depending on what features you want copied over. But I don't know if you would want to copy all of the features over from another model...perhaps therein lies the nature of your question? I guess I'm not sure what you are trying to do, exactly.

hello Eric,

thank you to answer. The inheretance feature is not so a bad thing. But now I'm shure I was not clear; please try to understand with this example:

create a part, then its symmetric part. You will show all attributes. Modify or add a new attribute in the master model, there is no change on the DEPENDANT (!!!) symmetry.

the other use case is in a model, I would like to reuse the lenght information of a sketch in the assembly using this part. I easily can do it with a relation like

length=TOTAL_LENGTH:FID_217:0

with FID means the feature analysis in the model. But it creates external references
