Mechanically welded drawing

2D plans Layout
1

Hello

In a welded mechanic drawing, I create on the first sheet the complete part and on the following sheets I put only the bodies (1 sheet per body)

To put the bodies, I use the relative view function and I choose the body for which I want to do the drawing.

Given that I have several mechanic sets where only the dimensions differ, I created configurations.

To avoid redoing the plans completely, in the drawing I change the configuration of the part, and that's where my problem lies, the views show the complete part and not only the body that I had selected in the previous configuration.
So you have to reselect the body on all the views.
 

It seems to me that in the 2012 or 2013 versions there was no such problem.

Does anyone have a trick to avoid reselecting bodies?

Hello

 

By updating your welded parts list and rebuilding everything.

Does it work?

3

not because he loses the selection of the body

4

And why not go through equations rather than configurations?

5

why if it's  the same set except the sides that changes

An assembly view

and a view of each room

and quotes them via with a configuration table

Hello

 

When mitre cuts, are the bodies disjointed? (I don't know the exact term but it's an option box to uncheck just below the miter cut choice)

Thank you for your answers but apparently it' s since the "select body" box was added that you have to systematically reselect the body when you change configuration.
 

@gt22 I could actually make assemblies, but in design it's still much easier and faster to work with a welded mechanic

@ be I see that you didn't understand what I wanted to tell you

even if you make your set in welded mechanic

Each identical part in this welded mechanic is referenced

So via this reference part nothing prevents you from making configurations of this said part this is silent in length among other things

so you will have your mechanic welded of such and such a dimension with an X code

so only 1 plan to do and landmarks a b c  that correspond to the profile length

@+ ;-)
