I have to automate the CAD of a part, it's a chisel.
but the soles change, the length changes, the number of teeth changes, etc.
Instead of redoing everything each time, I would prefer to build my part from a sketch that I would look for elsewhere according to the dimensions given in the family of parts.
Is this possible and if so, how?
Your explanation is not clear, could you give us your version of SolidWorks as well as your attached document so that we can help you?
I am not allowed to show files.
What you need to remember is that the piece has different heads and I would like to change the head on my piece according to certain ribs
Hello @ Valentine
Make a study piece ( which has nothing to do with your piece)
to understand what you want

Here are basically 2 pieces with two different heads and I would like to automate the fact of choosing between the 2
From the part family, I know that you can choose if you want to display one part or the other but I don't know how to automate it according to a length ^^ by the way if anyone knows how to do it, I'm interested too) I gave you an example, you have to change the value in cells G3 and H3 to S or R depending on whether you want to hide or remove the part.
to choose between the 2 heads while keeping the same base
I don't know how to do it on solidworks but under CATIA it's feasable
then you have to go to the KNOWLEDGE ADVISOR workshop, and you create a 'RULE' rule for example
if LENGTH=500mm {
Head 1 = true
head 2 = false }
so head 1 will be activated and head 2 will be deactivated
and you must have as a length parameter
I hope you'll do the approach with solidworks and it helps you
In SOLIDWORKS you have different solutions that you can look out for:
