Hi, all. I've got a drawing problem that I can't figure out. I have an assembly family table, with a number of instances (A, B, C, etc). Each instance consists of two members, which are also family tables (1, 2, 3, etc). Therefore, asm A has 1 & 2, asm B has 1 & 3, etc. I want to build a family drawing that shows the assemblies, the components, and some user-defined parameters from the components (length, description, etc).
I have tried to build a 2-n or simple table for the family table (using &fam.inst.name), but that will only give me the items in columns and will not blow through to get the compoent parameters or names. Using a simple nested table with &asm.mbr.name, etc will blow through the generic and get the member names and parameters, but will not expand to show the family table names. I want to have a recursed table that shows (if the formating holds here):
asm name comp name comp leng comp desc
A
1  ; 10&nbs p; rod
215 plate
B
etc.
Has anyone combined the table parameters to show the family table members but then use the assembly parameters to get details? Any help or ideas are appreciated. Thanks!
