Change type of imported family by changing family type of host file

Hello!

I have a component imported into a custom family, and I would like the component to change its type as I change Host family type. Is it possible? If it is, then how?

Thank you!

Do you mean you want the nested Family to change its type when you change the type of the parent?

 

  1. Nested Family should have several types to match those of the host family
  2. Load the component and associate it with a Label (Family<Type> parameter), a type parameter 
  3. Create multiple types of the host
  4. Set a different value/Nested Component type  in the Family<Type> parameter you added in step 2

Yes, that is exactly what I want. I'm glad you managed to get it by my poor explanation. But my nested family is shared, so I can't associate it any of its type parameters(labels).

You can associate instance parameters from the shared nested child to any type of parameter in the Parent.

 

However, the label I mentioned above is the whole nested child...ie: 

  1. you nest the component
  2. Align lock it
  3. Select the nested component and on the contextual bar you will see Label field
  4. The parameter you will create for that label will be in the parent/host family
