Hello everybody,
I am playing with "lookup_inst' for a while and It's been working like a charm, but now I am stuck in this scenario:
We are talking about 2 levels family tables, it means that the instances of the part to be replaced has their own family tables;
My problem is that I need to look up in all the 2nd level instances at the same time, because the instance I am looking for may be in any of that family tables, and the "lookup_inst" command only accept one part to be searched at time.
Looking into the geometry I've attached you would tell me to unify all family tables in one, but now there is no back, the geometry it's being used for a while and people don't want to change it at all now, so I will avoid it as much as I can.
I've attached a sample part and a PDF file explaining better the scenario, I've received a negative answer from PTC on that but the engineer that closed the call did not pointed me in any direction for a workaround and looks like an SPR for that will not be implemented so fast.
You guys are my last hope, If I don't find out a way to work around it I will need to change the methodology in the company and it is good but very challenging.
Warm Regards
