Hello
Is there a way to adjust the assembly and the parts automatically adjust as well??
I'm not sure if I"m doing this right.
Here's what I did so far. (Attachment with pictures and steps)
This is an assembly file of a 10' trex rafter that goes to a pergola. Inside of the rafter is an aluminum tube.
What I'm trying to do is save and replace component to make it whatever length (ex: 12') and make the aluminum tuber extrude itself without replacing or saving it.
Picture 1: What I did as fasr was I created (place component)
Picture 2: I drew what I wanted. Right click on the component and the sketch and hit adaptive.
Picture 3: I extruded the component
Picture 4: I placed the constranint
Picture 5: I set up the relationship of the adaptivity between the other side
I hope you understand this.
Thank you

I tend to go for multi-body solids for stuff like this. Don't know if it's the best but it works.
If you modelled up a part as a multi-body solid and set a view rep for the tube and then placed that view rep on a drawing sheet, those 2 files would give you a nice "adaptive" template.
You could also use the built-in make parts option to push out (derive) the 2 solids into induvidual part files and then into an assembly. So you would have your assembly driven by the original multi-body part.
So take my part, change the overall length and the internal solid will follow.
Hello
Can you give me the oldest verson of the file you send me. The one you send me I couldn't open. I'm using Inventor 2012.
Thank you
