Question

Family table in assembly

Hello, I have an assembly file which consists of a single part(frame rail) and not mated with any other part. I created a family table to generate instances of that assembly. Difference between each instance is just the cross-section parameters of the frame rail. But after I generated them and open each instance nothing seems to work. All the instances have same dimensions but their respective parameters tab has correct dimension.

The parameter values given through the family table doesn't seem to be able to control the part dimensions. Am I missing something here?

P.S. Same part file is being used in all instances.

Why did you do an assembly file? The family table changes you want are in the part file.

The reason you see no change is that each instance of the assembly are using the same part file.

The assembly file is basically a template that I created. So all the other parts of the truck I'm working on are in the same template. I want this frame rail also to be like them so that uniformity doesn't break. 

So you pointed out the problem. Is there a solution that you know by still using the assembly file?

 

Thanks

You make the part as a family table with the dimensional changes. You use those family table parts in your family table assembly.
