Autoasm with layout (skeleton) functionality.

[hrishi]

Hi all,





I'm lookoing for something like how to make an assembly driven by parameters & layouts (layout of the skeleton)so that parts (with fam table) can be auto replaced & can be placed automatically where needed by the user (I thk can be driven by parameters, relations,program).



Though above description is not that brief but if somebody gets an idea what I'm looking for ,Please let me know.



& going further deep I would like to konw any possibility like designing a utility with GUI(or whatever u call it)in proe where the user has to select the parts,fill the Specs & proe will create the auto assembly with layouts & skeleton.





Thanks In Advance

Hrishi

First you must use advanced replace on the component, and successfully use the layout (family table, or Interchange group). Then go to PROGRAM/EDIT. First enter an input for the variableunder the INPUT header.



parameter=string

/*short description of function



Scroll through the program untill you reach the add statement for the desired component. Replace the component name with the parameter in parenthasis.



add component (parameter)



Save and exit the program. Now when you regenerate it will ask you to specify the parameter. If the value you input matches an interchangeable component it will be replaced. Repeat this for every component you want to replace.



You can also use relations, instead. Here is an example!

INPUT

size=string

/*big or small

end input



relations

if size== big

handle=12345

endif

if size==small

handle=23456

endif

end relations



add part (handle)
