sorry, but english is so bad.
for example. i have a component called base.sldprt and i want to
insert 4 times this part in an assembly. can i put in a design
table $quantity@base and down 4?
my question is if exist a parameter like $quantity@base (this one
isn´t exist. it is just an example).
thank you for your help!
Not exactly. How would the location of the components in the
assembly be specified by design table? They would have to be mated
somehow.
However, you can create a component pattern. When you create a
linear or circular component pattern, the number of instances is a
dimension. You can control this dimension in a design table just
like any other dimension.
Just insert the amount of components you need and position them.
Then, in the design table, control which ones are suppressed or
not, hence controlling the quantity.
on the same topic, can you add an actual global variable into
a design table? i.e. if I create a variable in the equation editor,
can I then bring that value into a design table to use?
