creating a piece bound to another is possible?

[sbiancuti]

Hello, everyone! a question...
do you know if there is a way on sw (if I know for certain that there is) to create a piece that is bound to the previous one? in such a way that if I change the original part it also modifies the generated part. . .
Thank you!

 

[MassiVonWeizen]

certainly you do.
insert one part into one set and then models the other. It does any parametric cad.

I don't understand.
I explain better: I have a set consisting of two panels , I have to create a single panel with the maximum size of the two panels of the axieme (e.g. I have two panels 50*100, therefore I will have to create a .part file consisting of a single panel of 100*200) with all the holes and the workings present in the original axieme, in the same identical position, and bound so that I move a hole in the original a
I also tried to study a macro, but nothing. The only thing that came to mind is to create a copy of the axieme, save it as a .part file and good there. the problem is that if I change the original axieme, in the copy, clearly, no modification is performed.
I remember a function on solidedge where it was possible to generate a copy file, bound, and also wanting mirrored (it was useful to me in some assemblies where maybe I modified a sheet and automatically changed the mirrored sheet). but I can't find this option on solidworks! I can't believe it's not there, but my reminiscences are poor.

I repeat, in the board of the two panels insert or create a new panel. At this point, it changes and uses the other two panels to define geometry.
you probably have a simple convert entity

As for mirroring, there is also on solidworks.

I, if I do not want to manage the thing from the top (it can be that it is a supplier of individual spare parts) I create the parent part, then from the son file use the function “ insert part”, you will go to choose the parent part that will be not editable from the son file and will always follow any changes of the father file.
if you have to make a speculative part do “specchia corpo” and then delete the father body with “cancella corpo”. here you will have only one part mirrored son, but it will always be parametric and always tied to the father.

I hope I've explained

 

[asblo]

in the specific case you can do insert part with the single 2 parts from which the axieme is composed, then move one with "post body" in the position you want, and here you will have a multibody part that will be daughter of the other two parent parts that interest you

but why complicate life if you already have a set with the two panels?
Moreover a part with internal parts is increasingly heavier.

That's what I'm doing, but as it's a work of 600 plentiful files, I wanted to find a faster or I end up in 2023 ,
the convert entity does not do exactly to my case because the holes and the processing all taken from the library, so to each generated panel I have to drag the function on the new panel and bind it to the sketch of the original piece. is a great use of energy and time

 

[MassiVonWeizen]

What does it have to do with the functions being from the library? the convert entity projects the geometry such and which and if you change the function in the parent part will affect the derivative, the only limit are the threaded holes if you want to have the cosmetic thread native.
said this, you started with a generic question and to all your intervention you add specifics and constraints; I let others want to have fun solving mysteries.

to add more specific explanations I promptly responded with more details that could help to better understand the situation and dynamics...
But nevertheless, thank you again for the feedback! I learned something new so thank you!

In any case, the library can be a limit because some holes/works are very particular , some have different depths, rigging , some are compound holes and therefore have different surfaces as a base . therefore surely the sketch is useful but equally I should lose a lot of time to locate the holes and their relative depth , add the devasations / lamature / threads and I was looking for a simpler thing to limit the probability of error , from here

details that may be included in the first request that instead was so vague to seem even trivial.
in fact add another detail in the next post. compare between the first request and the one that results by making all subsequent additions and consider that there is nothing to do with what basics of the program you have.

the only feasible solution is that proposed by @asblo to insert the two parts into an empty part (which you can possibly do even with a macro) and then make a matching bodies to get the general panel.

 

[sbiancuti]

Well, thank you.
