  • Drawing Automation For Configured Parts/Assemblies?

    Any tips or tricks for speeding up and/or automating drawings for configured parts and assemblies? One way would be the ability to insert the configuration table (in case that you use classic method of single table driving everything) + labeled dimensions that relate to the config table columns. Seems like there's an…

  • Mate connector for slider mate for tube roller on configurable diameter tube

    I've been scratching my head over this for a bit now, so I thought I'd ask about a particularly weird case for defining a mate connector. Here is the part I'm importing: https://www.servocity.com/0-250-acetyl-press-fit-tube-roller. Here is an image of a similar part (with built-in ball bearings) as an example of how the…

  • Drawing with Parts Studio Configurations

    In my parts studio called Tote Goat Guard Set I will have approximately 80 different configurations. This was amazingly easy to do. (I know I didn't need to use variables but by naming as such it's easier to enter from my spreadsheet). Here is my question. I have made a drawing of the first configuration AL190SN. Is there…

  • Can a specific configuration be activated by a variable in the Part studio ?

    Somebody knows a way to make a specific configuration (in P.S.) conditional to a value in that P.S. EX: A configuration where a part is suppressed, is activated by a specific value of a dimension measured with “Measure distance” (MD).

  • Any way to identify rebuild errors for all configurations at one time?

    I'm currently working on a model with a fairly large number of configurations. Is there any way to see, at a glance, which configurations have errors? It can be pretty time-consuming to go through all of these different configurations and chase down any problems. 

  • How can I stop an assembly drawing updating when the assembly motional position is changed?

    I have designed a motor bike lift and I want a drawing of the lift in the up position and a drawing of it in the down position (I use named positions). I haven't found a way to do this because the drawings want to update every time I change the motion state of the actual assembly. Is there any way of stopping this…

  • Configuration of a spline

    I have the following part, a live edged board, that I am looking to configure in the width and length. I know a sketch must be defined before a configuration will work properly, how is this accomplished? link to doc:…
