Hey, I'm modelling some furniture in ProE. Most of the furniture use the same parts, so each assembly just assembles them in different ways, or alters the size of the parts. Say I have a 600mm piece of furniture and a 650mm piece, where the horizontal parts are different lengths. These lengths would be dictated by relationships that call to the parameter FULL_WIDTH defined in the assembly. The problem is I now want to create an assembly to fix together a run of furniture. This means my furniture pieces become sub-assemblies within another assembly. If I import a 600mm unit and a 650mm unit, the shared horizontal parts will just conform to one of the sizes either 600 or 650, rather than modelling each sub-assembly independently. Is there a way to get around this? I now you can use Flexibility, however it would mean defining size for a lot of parts! Can you tell ProE to independently calculate each imported assembly so that shared parts can have different sizes, or are stored as seperate parts in memory? I hope this makes sense! Thanks for your time, Kind Regards, Scott
