use of design assistant to generate similar assemblies

[xattiliox]

Good evening,

to reuse the very same facts and ends for another project "similar" but with changes I use pack & go... it is right to use it in the long run to create problems... I'm a little skeptical because sometimes she gave me problems on the name of the files... thank you in advance to all.

I apologize for the capital!

you must use the design assistant,not the p&g.
the design is made to make copies "like": allows you to copy, rename files, change path,directory etc....

 

[xattiliox]

Thank you.

...but only within the same project, right? If I wanted to do it in a new project?

 

[Catafratto]

you do the same way: cover what you want, in the new project you will make sure that all directories containing the files you use are included.

a question:
How can I be sure that by changing new files you don't even change old ones in the directories from which I made copies?
I remember that once I had problems with certain files of the generator frames: also modified the original files in other folders

personally... very carefully! to me it happens again, more often than I want to admit... to avoid it:
- file names _univoci_ (no "staffa1" which can be fished in two or three directories)
- attention to derivative/linked files (e.g. mirrored parts)
- attention to the nestings of assemblies (maybe you copy the parts correctly but not the assembling that contains them)

I don't use the chassis generator very much, and I never "recycled", so I can't tell you for sure.. .

this assumes that you use the design assistant.. .

Although it seems trivial, it must be remembered that the fg creates the parts of the frame and not the frame intended as a single unit.
so, if you copy it with the design assistant, you have to make copies with different name, of each part that composes the frame and of the sketch that of the skeleton.senno' inevitalbly, modifying the copy of the parts, you can change the original... it's a very pallosissima thing, but it's so!!!!

hallucinating...
do I have to change the file name or part number?

you have to create a new part, so the file name:
if in your starting frame you have a profile called e.g.
din ipb 100 00000002, you will call the copy, which I know, din ipb 100 00000002_1,
And so on.
I personally, since I do not need a lot of components, I do not need that zealous spout; for me it would become din ipb 100 02 .
For the number part, I let him stay as he generated inv.
I agree with the hallucinating:biggrin:

I would suggest you to rename each part of the frameg in the creation phase rather than leave the name that he...

of the type:
frame

tel100.001 (for example, a random frame name)
each single part of the frame, either created by fg or by me (e.g. welded plates etc) save them in tel100.001\frame\ folder.. .

with name tel100.001-01/02/03/.... .

I generally have a lot less than 100 parts frame so I'm fine, otherwise I could use 001/002/... and have 999.

Now I find myself in folder l together and dwg/idw and in the under folder all the files that make it.

When I cover I create from explorer new subfolders, then from copio everything without moving anything.
Finally from explorer I move new files into the frame subfolder of the new frame.

 

[Tarkus]

I am:
I immediately recall the name that proposes me for skeleton and frame,
I leave the name that proposes inv for the profiles,
I renounce everything for copies.

@vigz:
I think I understand you don't use design assistant.
in this case how do you reassociate copied parts with sketches copied?

... then from...

Sorry about = design assistant:smile:

Okay, all clear.
