Sample SmartAssembly Utility Programs

 

Change layers using a list: This program is used to set the layer display status in all the objects listed in a simple text file. The SmartAssembly dialog box is used to enter the name of the layer and the name of the list of objects to be processed. Each object is saved after the layer display status is set.

 

Family table programs: The first program in this video is used to verify the family table instances of all the objects in the current assembly. In this program, no dialog box used. The second program in this video is used to open the generic model of the selected instance. This is not possible with regular Pro/ENGINEER.

 

Calculate mass properties: This program is used to set the density and calculate the mass properties of all the objects in the current assembly. The program can quickly populate parameters in each part for weight and volume, and the results can be displayed in the Pro/ENGINEER browser window.

 

Export parts: This program is used to export all the parts in the current assembly. Choose IGES, STEP, or STL.

 

Export drawings: This program is used to export all the drawings related to the components in the current assembly to DXF. If the assembly contains family table instances, the drawings of the generic models are exported.

 

Rename components: This program is used to rename components of the current assembly. Drawings of the associated models are automatically renamed.

 

Chamfers and rounds: These programs are used to create chamfers and rounds in an assembly. These are part level features being added to the parts from the assembly level.
