Help: 2012 modify iPart from iAssembly

[Anonymous]

I am looking for a way to change the parameters of a part that is within an iAssembly. Basically we have tubing with flanges on the end and wish to have an easy way to model varying lengths. I essentially need to be able to have the upper level iAssembly control the flange spacing and cut the tube to length based on the users selection. Due to BOM setup these parts must be seperate .ipt in a larger .iam

I’m not sure if I understand your requirement correctly,
but I was just wondering if you can simply use Table Replacement
in the parent iAssembly (see the following picture for reference).

In this way, you can choose the active row in a child iPart from
the parent iAssembly.

Please let us know if this is not what you need.
Thanks,
