Hi,
I thought I'd ask on here to see if anyone has any ideasthat wouldhelp me.
I basicaly have two parts that areassembled together in an assembly, they are flat bars, which have then been wraped using the toroidal function (this is basicaly a model of a bush-bearing, showing the steel casing and a liner material(two rings)).
I then need to create a drawing that will show both the toroidal and the flat (net) version of the part.
I'm trying to keep thenumber of parts to a minimum, the inner surface has detail on it (a number of sweeped cuts and some holes etc) so it would be nice to be able not have to add the detail on two different parts (the wraped and flat versions)
I've tried to use the family table, but it doesn't allow you to select the toroidalbend in the assembly to create an instance. As when you try to add a toroidal bend in the assembly it doesn't allow it, you can only make the part active and then create the toroidal feature with in the part.
Is there an easier way than having instances of the single parts and then having them all in the assembly?
