Create multiple different drawings that do not change when the model does.

[Thomas_Savage]

Hello,

I have created a conveyor using iLogic to change the length.

Now i want to place each of the 4 different lengths on drawings. But when i place the drawings i want to be able to select the different lengths. So i have 4 different drawings that are dimension from the one iLogic model. And these drawings don't update when the model changes.

 As if i place the iLogic model in a drawing, i dimension it, then change the model length it changes on the drawing also. I don't want it to change on the drawing.

What is the best way to achieve this?

Save As and break the link?

Level of Detail?

Any help much appreciated.

I have solved this problem by changing the length in iLogic, creating a new assembly, then placing the model as an iLogic part. This new assembly does not change length when the original model does. 

This means i can now create the individual drawings that don't change when the original model does.

If anyone has any other, or better solutions would love to hear them also.

Would using 'Defer updates' on the drawing document work for you?

I don't think so. Because if i dimension a small one, then change the size to a bigger one, then their will be no holes on the drawing as on the smaller they are suppressed, and the bigger unsuppressed.

Creating derived part might be the way to go.. ?
