Hi,
I created an iPart of a flat sheet metal with several holes in it. It requires 3 Parameters to be be defined:
- length (user defined parameter which can take any value)
- width (user defined parameter which can take any value)
- hole_diameter
I created a skeleton file with several user defined parameters including length and width.
Both files (skeleton.ipt and flat_sheet.ipt) are placed in the same assembly. I now would like IPart instance to follow along the changes made in the skeleton - but how do I connect these paramters??? Is it even possible?
and if not, what would be an appropriate Top Down approch for including iParts?
Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi Karl,
I don't know your design intent but I would control iPart using iPart Author table. What you have described looks like Skeleton Modeling technique. To make it work you have to link parameters from Master file to your part using Link function in Parameters DB of the part you want to control.
Best Regards,
Igor.
