create iparts with multiple tables

[rchiccarine]

It would save lots of time and effort if you could create iparts with multiple tables.  For example, if you had one table with dimensions for a bolt head, and a second table with thread information, you could build an entire matrix of parts with a single ipart.  You could make round head, cheese head, pan head, and truss bolts.

I can see the benefit in this where a number of options are independent (i.e. any combination is valid). A boolean expression to control which combinations are allowed would make this more flexible.

This should also be applied to iAssemblies.

There would need to be a combining table where values could use expressions to combine data from each table. Similar to expressions in content center, this would help in setting the member name and file name. It would also assist in controlling which member to use for included iPart/iAssembly occurrences.
