so I've looked through the forum, and haven't seen this questions asked like this...maybe i don't understand the terminology though...
I want to make 1 drawing, for a family tabled part. i understand i can have a table that displays the differences of instances, but that means that every time i add an instance, i have to REV the drawing and create and ECN, and that will affect ALL the parts on the drawing, and that will require unnecessary ERP/MRP work (have to REV every single part)....
I want to be able to open 1 single drawing file, and have it display an instance list, just like when you open a family tabled assembly. i can then choose from the list the drawing I want, and presto. Each drawing instance will only contain info for that instance...Every time i create a new drawing, i won't have to do anything to the other existent parts...
i understand I can save a copy, rename, and replace the drawing model, but it would be so much cleaner to just have one DRW file...
If not...is there a "suggestion box" at PTC?
Thanks for your help
