Hi guys and girls,
I’m having a real drama with creo today, something that worked in wf5 but apparently not in creo 2.0
Here’s the beef,
i have a family table assembly in side of that family table are multiple variations of a product
There all rectangular, all the same size and all have the same mass
What’s different is that there are different positions for steel boss's or holes or whatever in a sub assembly of the main assembly
somthing like this
| main asm name | sub asm 1 | sub asm 2 |
|---|---|---|
| parent asm | parent part 1 | parent part 2 |
| child asm 1 | part 1 vers 1 | part 2 vers 1 |
| child asm 2 | part 1 vers 2 | part 2 vers 2 |
| child asm 3 | part 1 vers 3 | part 2 vers 3 |
where sub asm1 and sub asm2 are inside main asm
- So when i go to make different drawings of each of the family table children i need x sections
- So in the master assembly in the family table i put the sections in.
- Open a child assembly in a drawing file, no sections also no sections in the child asm file,
So then i think,
Make x sections in the child assemblies then they will show up
This works kind of.... i can open the sections in the drawing files for each child assembly, great save
Next time i open the file they have all disappeared from the child drawing and the child assembly
They have shown up in the parent assembly but there all supressed and i can’t resume them.
This is got me stumped. How do i go about making x sections now? Am i just missing something?
What I think is happening is that the section is not finding the part it sectioned in the master file in the child file so it suppresses its self rather than re calculating for the current child assembly?
i can make sectons in the child drawings if all versions are exactly the same so the section plane does not cross or reference anything that changes between child and parent asm
Any help would be great
Cheers Tinker
also sorry if this is a ramble
