SW 2017 - In a drawing, how do you insert a table of part dimensions from the family (controlled by Excel table) of an assembly?

Hello

I have a drawing (with an exploded side view ) of an assembly of 2 parts that each have a family of parts (the assembly also has an Excel part family with the configuration names of the parts), and I would like to insert a table with the names of the  configurations of the assembly and some dimensions (diameters in this case) from of the parts.

If anyone knows how to do it, I would  greatly appreciate it! Thank you in advance and have a nice day!

Hello

To insert the part family into a drawing:

  1. In a drawing of the part or assembly, select a drawing view.
  2.  Click Insert> Tables > Part Family.

    The part family appears: you can drag and drop it in its place on the sheet.

Careful

You must first select the view corresponding to the part with a part family before you can insert it.

Hello and thank you for your answer.

In fact I manage to insert tables of dimensions for each part, but what I would like is a single table with in the first column the names of the configuration of the assembly, in the second column a dimension of part 1 (example: dimension1@esquisse1@pièce1) then in the 3rd column a dimension of part 2 which is mounted with part 1 (example: dimension1@esquisse1@pièce2). I didn't manage to do this because by importing the family of the assembly I get a table with the configurations of each part corresponding to the configurations of the assembly, and no dimension...

My assembly contains 18 configurations (size 1 to size 18) and parts 1 and 2 also have 18 configurations each (also size 1 to 18), driven by Excel spreadsheets that contain formulas for dimension1@esquisse1. The Excel table of the assembly contains the configuration names and allows to have the size 1 of the assembly which uses the size 1 of the part 1 and the size 1 of the part 2, and so on for the 18 sizes...

NB: these are tools for jewelry rings, so the 18 sizes correspond to metric = finger sizes...

Sincerely, Christophe

The question is still open...

What if you insert the parts that make up the assembly in your MEP and then you take them out of the drawing area (outside the printable area) and you insert the families of parts of your 2 parts in the printable area?

Silly thing: what if you add piloted dimensions (which correspond to the dimensions you want to obtain in your table) in your 3D assembly?

Logically you should be able to import the values of these controlled dimensions into the Excel table of the assembly. And from there get them back on your plane.
