Question

Family table creating from existing family table

I am looking at creating a new family table of a part from one of our existing family tables. I have tried to save a copy of the generic and hoped the instances would go along for the ride, but to no avail.

Can someone provide step by step how to take an existing family table to create a new family table?

Thanks in advance.

Saving a copy of the generic normally brings the family table with it.  You will need to open the model and rename the instances before they will appear in the File/Open dialog...

open the model and rename...

I am confused.

When is this step done? Before or after the attempt to save the family table.

BTW I am running Creo 2.0 M160 with Windchill.

Can I save a copy of the family table within Windchill easier than within Creo?

I wondered if you were using Windchill.  That definitely changes things.  In that case you are better off doing the save-as in your workspace.  This will give you the opportunity to rename all the instances at the same time as the generic.

This Works for me

 

Open Generisk from Workspace

 

<Save As> – <Save a Backup>

 

Choose local disc

 

Close file and erase Memory

 

Choose “No Server”

 

Open Generic in Creo

 

Manage File – Rename

 

Open the Familie Table
Rename all the Instance in the table

 

Verify and then Save

 

Go Online

 

Open Generic from Disc

 

Save
