T-Flex parametric assembly drawing - howto?
PostPosted:Fri Mar 16, 2012 12:11 am
Hello all... Hoping you might be able to point me in the right direction here.
I have put together an assembly using parametric modelling. It's a toybox for my graddaughter made from planks, frames and a hinged lid - looks a bit like a pirate's chest.
The components (such as frame rails, tongue and groove planks etc) are designed as individual components with arbitrary dimensions held in external variables.
Each component is used multiple times in the assembly and final dimensions of the box are contained in variables at the assembly level, so I can simply adjust the outer dimensions of the box and all the components change to accommodate the revised box size.
The model works fine. However what I would now like to do is produce drawings of each component, but with dimensions taken from the assembly level.
Have I gone about this in the right way?
Any help much appreciated.
