I'm trying to get a hold of information about the link types that are found in file desk. I have an assembly and most of the link types are "instance", obviously I understand what kind of link this is. The one that I can determine is a link of type "shape". Can any one help me out with this...
I plan on assigning a command button to it. That's step two though, need to know how to swap the files first. If i can't do that then there no need in wasting time figuring out how i want to trigger it.
To clarify on my statemet about issues not relevant here, i apologize if it came off as rude, i was just trying to avoid useless details.
i'll try to elaborate:
I have a configured assy with parameters linked to a design table. this assy and design table are templates, starting position. This...
I understand what your saying, but i think you missed understood me. i don't want to switch the configuration row, i want to swap the excel file. for example:
I have two excel files, lets say Example1.xls and Example2.xls. Curently my design table is linked to Example1.xls. I can change the...
Does anybody now if there is a tool for patterning a part in an assembly. I know you can use the "Reuse pattern" constraint, but what if you don't have a pattern to use.
Thanks

i realize that. That was just a script i used to test the methodolgy. The actuall program i'm creating has to cycle through subassemblies and i have multiple arrays to cylce through, so on and so forth. Thanks for your posts.
Well, after some trial and error, your great help, and a little bit of luck i've finally manage to piece together what i was trying to get at. I've included the script that i've written, with which you both helped me get to, should you ever have any use for it and for other forum members to...
alright, almost there. I finally got it to change the color of just one of the parts in my assembly (i preselected it before runing the script). Now if i can just figure out how to programmatically select the part for me i'll be good to go.
Ok, i'm must be doing something wrong. I just can't seem to figure out how to programmatically select the darn part in the assembly and then apply the color to just it. I keep turning the whole assembly a different color instead of just the part i have. Thanks so much for your help, i...
Thanks alot, this really helps.
Another question on the same topic. Say i have an assembly, how can i programmatically change the color of just one of the parts in the assymble?
thanks for you help
I have an assembly with 2 subassemblies. Each of these subs contains about 10 to 15 parts. The first sub is fixed while the second is position behind it. I can take the second sub assy and move it further back as long as I edit the connecting parts lengths in the first sub to accommodate for...
