assembled with frame generator

[GianniM]

I have this problem.
I made a square-shaped frame (size 1000x1000mm), by means of a frame generator, and I applied a tubular profile.

I have inserted the frame inside a very high and copied for 10 times where it serves.

Finally I should create other frames similar to the previous but with different sizes. I would like to copy the original frame, and change it, modifying the sketch that originates from the frame. but this does not seem possible.
in fact the profiles do not update, despite the sketch has changed the frame remains 1000x1000.

if I have to insert 10 frames of 10 different sizes I have to redesign them every time? Is there a faster procedure?

have you updated the assist?

if you have a structural matrix design that will often use in your design you can or hold a neutral file that you will edit and save as a copy from time to time or create iassembly perhaps with custom build mode.

thanks Pompeo79

I tried to update the axieme but the frame remains tied to the original sketch not to the copied one.
of how an iassebly works I understood little, the custom mode I don't even know what it is. I try to document these functions.

make copy of the axieme and with design assistant you have to make a copy of all the contents of the frame: together frames with its components, your base sketch and another parts file that automatically generates the frame generator and should be called skeleton..... (if you have not changed names to these elements). copy of these files fails in a folder that will have the same name as your starting set. in this way you have copied and connected all the various components to the new assembly. the first times the design assistant may seem a little ostic, but once you understand the functions and the various steps to get them becomes very simple

That's because it keeps references with the original sketch.
you could ovviate at least for a simple square,as you did with the component replacement in the table before they put the appropriate command:
I close everything,cancel the original sketch file, reopen, does not find this file and asks me the path . At this point you give it the replaced file and you recreated the reference
to your new sketch file.
old stuff.
to do what you ask, for me the safest and at the end faster, is to use the design assistant that makes you what you wrote above + copy of the various elements of the frame in a single session. :smile:

Thanks I'm trying to practice
