Peening edges over

[Horwarth19]

So I have an assembly where some edges need to be peened
over the top of another component to hold it in place. Is
there a way to do that in assembly, or do I need to do it
differently?

I would create a family table instance with all the same part number and description information with the modified peened edge. This way you can replace it in the assembly and still have all the BOM information correct.


No way to really do it in the assembly itself.

That's what I was thinking, just wanted to verify. Thanks
srieger! I appreciate it.

Some things can be accomplished withwith flexible components but there are limits. I usually go the family table route.

Agreed that flexible component is a huge asset but this would be pretty tough/complicated as a flexible component.
