opening family table with altri cad 3d

[LordUriel]

Good morning to all boys,
I'm writing because I got a request that's kind of flattered me.

I should share with a supplier a generic and relative family table of our component.
This is basically an extrusion of a sketch in various lengths.

but the supplier does not have proes and therefore asked me if there are other cads able to read such a file......I always knew that f.t. was a typical tool of proes but maybe it is not so.

Have any of you ever had similar experiences?
I know well that the alternative is to create n step files for each length but before doing so I wanted to hear yours.

Thank you very much in advance
roberto

Bye!

that I know, the instrument of families of parts or assemblies is common to many software.
then everyone maybe calls it in their own way.
What I do not know is how families are managed for each cad, in practice if between creo and other cad management is the same.

The only thing I feel to exclude is the possibility of exchange information between different cads.
I know that something can be done by passing model and table of the family (at least if the destination cad is inventor), but the result you get I believe are untied components between them, and anyway dead geometries.
happy to be denied of course.

Good job!

Hi.
when I went from a cad to another, using iges, step, parasolid etc., family tables, series, groups I have always lost them, or turned them in an unusable way.

I understand... thank you very much for your answers, boys!

Good day

excuse me tartufon80 but just for curiosity... what are the other cads that use families of parts?
I unfortunately know only proe and I was left that the family table tool was just ptc because it was the only parametric.......

Thanks again

Bye!

I quoted my sentence because it's the "response" to your question.

I know that solidedge allows the management of families of parts and assemblies, same thing said for inventor (the only two cads of which I have some info).
I don't know if management is like family table or if the tool is useful exclusively for the creation of models.. .

I used it for a bit solidedge v18, but for a whole series of reasons it was not possible to unleash us as I would have liked!
I remember that it was not just like the family table of proes, but maybe I wrong approach, and however it is possible that in the last versions some things have changed.



ps: among other things I think I will soon change software in the company (suicide) and I will let you know how it works with some other cad, which obviously you do not know what could be... .

First of all, thank you for the clear and very quick answer...... I still think I understand that you can't do much.
I'll give you the wolf for the change of software because they're always discrete bellyache!

Thanks again

I think the same thing.
in any case, if any user of the forum wanted to deny us.. .:wink:


it was just the belly....I anticipate very difficult times: eek:

We'll see.

Hi.

 

[LordUriel]

So forget us! :biggrin:

Bye to all,

for what little I remember also solid works has something similar to the family table.

ps: among other things I think I will soon change software in the company (suicide) and I will let you know how it works with some other cad, which obviously you do not know what could be... .

courage, if you see the glass half full, it is always a new experience that, who knows ...., could come back useful in the future.

....coraggio, if you see the full half glass, it is always a new experience that, who knows ...., could come back useful in the future.

Thank you, dani, I guess you can see that too, and believe me, I tried it too.
but it is hard to digest, knowing that who decides does not use the cad and does not understand us anything, and has no idea of the problems that the passage will entail. ..confused:
