Hello All.
I'm new to Pro/E and so far I'm loving it. I'm really starting to get the hang of it but one thing I need help on is handling of "cut to length" parts.
A few examples of what I mean are: ready-rod, unistrut, din rail, panduit, rebar, aluminum extrusions, etc.
Anything that you want controlled in all but one axis - I use 2 inches of x material here, 4 inches of x material here, 2 feet of x material here - all within the same assembly.
I would like the key parameters to be controlled by a family table (width, depth, etc) because some of these come in variations, but I need to insert multiple instances of this part into my assembly, each with a different length.
What is the best way to accomplish this?
I'd still like the ability to change a width/depth feature or dimension on the "parent/generic" part and have that reflected in all of the instances of it.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Jeff
