I am modeling an old sailing ship.
In the main assembly I have created an evaluate feature named STAYVALUES containing the length of a number of stays that are included in the rigging of the ship e.g. length01, length02 etc.
The stay sub-assemblies are similar but for the length between the various fixing points of the stays.
At first I tried to define a relation in each subassembly:
e.g. Dxx:yy=length01:FID_STAYVALUES:1 but it would not work.
I then redefined the relation by adding a parameter:
staylength01=length01:FID_STAYVALUES:1
Dxx:yy=staylength01
and now it worked!
Why, I don't understand.
To simplify my work ( there are a lot of stays involved) I would like to use a family table to give each stay it's proper length, picked from the evaluate feature STAYVALUES.
But how?

Thanks for your interest.
I believe I have solved the problem.
I introduced an indexparameter in the stay.prt (which is the one with the length that was to be varied).
I introduced a relation in the stay.prt for each stay saying
if index=1, staylength=length01:FID_stayvalues:1
if index=2, staylength=length02:FID_stayvalues:1
and so on..
So far I have not had any problems with regenerations mixing he desired values.

Hello Bertil,
You can add the parameter staylength01 into the family table. Upon verification of the instances, relation driven parameters should update in the family table.
If the family table is on a different level than the parameter (top asm vs. sub asm.) you will probably need another relation in the assembly, where the family table is, to assign the value to a parameter (in this model) and put it into the family table instead.
