Igor,
I am trying to make a multy-body solid using iPart table. I did it, no problem bbuutt the Make Components command is no longer available so I can't export the multi-body solids to an assembly and document it properly. I need to put the bodies into a drawing and document their mass separetely. Its so frustrating that it won't do it. I have also sought for a way to do it via API but there is no oBody interface, or is it?
Please help.
Omar.
Hi! Make Component is blocked when you are working on an iPart factory with multiple solids. It is because iPart member is already a derive part to the iPart factory. It does not make sense introducing nested derive relationship to an iPart member.
You can simply insert the member to an assembly just like any regular iPart.
I assume the reason why you want to use mutli-solid iPart is to create one solid per member, right? If each member needs a different material style, you can edit the author table->go to Other tab->create a new column->right-click on the header->check Material Column. Then you will be able to assign material to each member.
Thanks!
Johnson,
Thanks for your answer. Here's the complete picture:
All this is in the files I attach to this message. I can work with this but would like to know if there's a simpler way to do it.
Thanks
Omar
