Associativity between drawings

[Toberc_123]

Hello all,


let me first describe the problem:


1. Imagine I have one part, called rod1.prt. I create a drawing of this part, called rod1.drw


2. I then save a copy of rod1.prt, and call it rod2.prt. This automatically creates a drawing called rod2.drw, which is identical to rod1.drw.


3. I now make some editions to rod2.prt. These editions are automatically updated into rod2.drw.


4. Now I want to make some editions to rod1,drw, but I also want these sameeditions to be made automatically to rod2.drw. Is this possible? How might I go about this?


Thank you very very much for your help,

you can not do this
when you edit part rod1.prt and regenerate it , Part rod2.prt is not change

sure you can do this.


Use a family table , or use top down design (and , copy geometry)

Sounds like a family table.


How similar are the parts? They are identical to start but how many changes and what type of changes are made?


You can add/suppress features and change dimensions across a family.


Would you like to build some type of drawing-table to show the versions of the part(s) or do you want a new drawing for each part?

As suggested, family tables should work. Take care to
always regenerate the drawing if you open it without the
generic in session!I've seen examples where the drawing
is not accurate because the table instance were not
regenerated/verified.

I have nowgot to grips with creating a family table for a part. In answer to your question, a drawing table to show the versions of the part would be good. How might I do this?


Thank you,
