Drive an Assembly from Custom Properties [SOLIDWORKS]

2D plans Layout
1

Hi all

Further to my previous question,

I want to drive an assembly using custom properties. So I created a diagram as a piece. I inserted it into an assembly and created parts directly in that assembly converting the entities in the schematic. So, my diagram directs my pieces.

I manage to make a form to control the schema, but I have to modify it to be able to display the form.

My question: How do I make a form for an assembly? I can make a form for a part but I can't make it for an assembly, even if I only go through the form creation utility, I only have the choice to save it as a part!

Oops, sorry but I just found it! A simple tab.... but which I quickly skipped!

When you create it, you have to choose the type: part / assembly.

Otherwise it's because you're unlucky today...

By changing the extension to . ASMPRP by hand doesn't work?

By going through the outdoor van, you have no choice?

Is it an assembly that is open in SolidWorks?

Yes indeed, I'm in an assembly and I create my form too quickly without paying attention to the type....

@PL, not impossible to manually modify the extension!
