Patterns in Family Tables

Hi,

I want to pattern a group for use in assemblies in a family table.

I only want the main group in the Generic and not the pattern members.

How do I set this up in the family table?

Probably not the best use of family tables.

Give more details of what you are trying to accomplish.

 

The generic be default has all of the information needed by the instances. Using a family table to control patterns in an assembly would be where family tables excel as a design tool. Family tables are more suited to variations of a basic shape, lengths of bolts or diameters, etc. I have done some family tables of assemblies but they become very difficult as you add more components to the assembly variations.

Hello @lfitch 

 

Not tested, but on the top of my head, this is not possible. If you need a given individual group (whatever is leader or patern member) to be configured as a column of a Family Table, you need first to Unpattern (AND NOT Delete Pattern) the Patterned Group:

  • This will produce uncorrelated groups corresponding to where they were previously driven in the logic of the pattern
  • Each Individual Group can then be configured (id desired) as a column of the Assembly Family Table

 

Again, as said earlier, not tested. So if anybody else has better ideas, Thanks in advance to share them here.

 

Regards,

 

Serge

I was not able to find an "UNPATTERN"
