Hi,
I have been experimenting with iPart/iAssemblies to have a better idea on how they work. Last night experimenting I did the following…
- Created a new standard part (partTest), Saved it
- Used this new part in an assembly (assemblyTest) and in a drawing (drawingTest), Saved both files
- Closed all files
- Opened partTest and converted it into an iPart
- Opened assemblyTest: When I opened it, I noticed that I couldn’t change to components, I kind of expected that behavior since I read somewhere that you cannot use iFactories parents directly in assemblies so, I went and replaced this part with itself, but when I did this I lost all of the constrains related to this part. Is this a normal behavior?
- Then I went and opened drawingTest: Here I noticed that all of the views were set to use the Active Factory Member, which means it would show the active member from your iFactory. Is this a normal behavior?
What I described in step 5 and 6, are these normal behaviors when converting a standard part to an iPart and the part has already been used in other assemblies or drawings?
Are there any other things that I will need to check after converting a standard part into an iPart?
Thanks a lot
