Using Motion Axis Parameters and Dimensions in Family Table Instances
Defining Family Table instances for motion axis properties and dimensions in Assembly enables fast, efficient analysis in Mechanism Design. Only one analysis must be defined for all instances of the component, enabling easy comparison between different dynamic property values for the same component.
Motion limits and dynamic properties can be used in Family Tables. These parameters are used to define different instances of the same component. A hinge, for example, can be used in several doors with different motion limits in each door. Select the Parameter option on the Family Items dialog box (Tools > Family Table). Select Connection from the Look In list. All motion parameters for the selected connection are in the list. The parameters for a disabled predefined constraint set or suppressed component are unavailable unless they were added before the component was suppressed or the predefined constraint set disabled.
The Regeneration Value is a dimension in a Family Table to define different configurations of an assembly. It is available in the graphics window when you select the Dimension option on the Family Items dialog box.
