Hello

I'm looking to make a composition to take away but with only the files useful for the active configuration.

Someone have a solution (simple if possible...)

 

THANK YOU

Hello

I'd be tempted to say that there's no simpler solution than to make a take-home composition of the whole thing and then delete the configurations in the new file!

 

Or, it may be easier to save the initial assembly under a new temporary name, to delete the initial configurations, so that the unnecessary parts will no longer end up in the construction tree, and only then to make its composition to go.

The same question was asked here:

http://www.lynkoa.com/forum/3d/composition-emportee-d-une-configuration

You have to get your hands dirty to program a macro in VBA, so not so simple!

 

To separate the configurations of a file:

To automate on-the-go setups:

http://www.forum-cao-3d.fr/api-questions/macro-de-composition-a-emporter...

The instruction to use is: 

status = swPackAndGo.SetDocumentSaveToNames(pgSetFileNames)

I just looked if in the AXEMBLE utility - project copy - there was this possibility.

It doesn't seem to be there, but it's a good request for improvement to be made!!!

Hello

If it is possible with Project Manager (Axemble tools) there are filters in relation to the active configuration in the head assembly.

A priori Coyote, I don't think it works:

"For parts and assemblies containing configurations, it is possible to list the available configurations in the document.

Selecting a different configuration has no effect on the information or the rest of the process."

 

Have you tried it?
