Hi, I have an iPart with close to 200 variations, which are all just round parts with holes. There are between 5-10 holes per part, and the iPart table drives the hole locations and inclusion as needed. Now I'd like to make an iAssembly that adds screws and washers as needed. So I started an iAssy, added my iPart, and am able to jump between the 200 variations properly. I added the screws/washers on a version that had the full amount of holes.
What I need is a way to tell the iAssy that if there are only 5 holes, I only need 5 screws. All the holes in the iPart have their own feature (Hole1, Hole2, etc) so if I could just read the include/suppress data for each feature I could use Excel to drive screw/washer inclusion. But when I edit my iAssy table, and click on my iPart, the only parameters I'm shown is Include, Grounding, Adaptive, and Table Replace. Is there a way to access the iPart features through the iAssy table?
Thanks!
Here's a really basic representation of the issue I'm running into (attached files). When you click on Assembly 1-12, 3 of the constraints are broken, and 3 screws are unnecessary because those holes are suppressed. I'd like to automatically suppress the screws that correspond to the non-existant holes.
