I have a room that uses the "room family" feature to manage its different configurations (102 to be exact ). I found a macro that outputs all DVPs in DXF for laser cutting, .
And then I say to myself: no, I'm not going to do the folding MEPs one by one .
Has anyone ever done this kind of manipulation? SheetMetalManufacturing only takes the active config into account, unless I missed an option...
Otherwise, an assembly with 102x my part in each config and mill with SheetMatalManufacturing.
Thanks for the links, I'll look at it tomorrow. In fact, after analyzing the dimension table provided by the customer, it's a little simpler. The 102 pieces are grouped into 4 large families, so only 4 pieces to make with each their family.
I don't know if it can help because it's not automatic but faster than doing the shots one by one. On my side I have parts with a dozen configurations or generally only a few dimensions changed and all the parameters (reference, N Part, MP, finish and weight). In this case I create a drawing with the first part then I copy the sheet and glue it last it creates a Folio 2 and I just change the configuration on folio 2 and everything follows normally (parameter, dimension...)
Thank you @A.R for the links, it was very interesting. Thank you @q.nassoy , I almost did it like that...
In short: Step 1: Manage the part families with the customer's dimension table Step 2: find a macro that exports the flat part in each of the configs (in PJ) dxf-config.swp (33.5 KB) Step 3: create an assembly with the part in each of its configurations Step 4: SheetMetalManufacturing mill for the MEP in the unfolded state of each config.
