To Automatically Update References to Assembly Instances
If some of your table-driven components have assembly references, in an assembly instance these references should be redirected from the generic assembly to the current instance. Do this by adding the reference model into the Family Tables of the corresponding component models.
The manual update of the external references of the assembly members in instances requires the editing of a number of Family Tables of different models. In many cases, this process can be automated.
1. Click
Tools >
Family Table. The
Family Table dialog box opens.
2. In the Family Table dialog box, click Tools > Switch External References to Instances.
3. The system analyzes all table-driven assembly members to identify those which have references to the generic assembly. The Update References dialog box opens. The components which have external references will be listed and those references will be proposed as new instances.
4. Select OK to add the reference model into the Family Table.
