Fexible hose assy in mutiple locations

[mchartre]

I have created a flexible hose subassy. It consists of two end fittings assembled to ports and a set length of hose assebled to them using the piping functionality. I can not for the life of me figure out a way to use this same hose subassy in a different place. It would have the same length of hose, and contain the same fittings, but be assembled to different ports. I need to use the same subassy # so that the BOM will reflect the use of 2 of these hose subassemblies. Does anyone have a way to do this? I can not figure out a way to do this by making the subassy flexible.

You have to Copy geometry the different pipe part into one part then make a family table so you have a single routing thenasm the new part in to a the Asm. add the ends then make a simplified rep of each hose.

Most people use two separate assemblies for stuff ike this:


hose_assy_1.asm
--fitting_A.prt
--fitting_B.prt
--hose_part_1.prt


hose_assy_2.asm
--fitting_A.prt
--fitting_B.prt
--hose_part_2.prt

You could do one asmand two differnt part then there no need to do copy geom

Remember that, even with two different hose assemblies, you can set your drawing BOM table properties togroup the two subassemblies together as long as you arenot using the Pro/Emodel name in thebom table.Most companies I'veworked with usemodel parameters to drive the BOM table (not model names) which makes this possible.
