Is there any way of modifying one or more dimensions of a part within an Assembly without modifying the original part?
I've made myself a generic t-slot part with a nominal length of, say 100mm. I understand that I can reuse that 100mm part multiple times withing an assembly.
I would like to use t-slot to build a frame for a project and there will be multiple t-slot parts of varying length.
Can I import the 100mm long part and then make it longer or short without modifying the original part?
I've tried the Feature Library but that does not seem to work with a sketch of the profile and if you put the whole part into the library the base plane is required but none of the other dimensions are editable. I don't think that the feature library was designed to do what I want.
Any ideas?
Accepted answer
yes.. use "adjustable part".
You should modify the original part and add "adjustable part" feature and variables.. then you can insert the part as "adjustable part" in assembly
