Parametric HELP!!!

[Benoit]

I'm trying to make a parametric assembly by using a Excel file. I don't have difficulty to make my model.

Here's my problem. In my assembly I have a shaft that the diameter is variable. And that shaft is supported by a flange bearing that is already made in my own Contend Center. What I want to do is that my assembly inserts the right flange bearing depending of the Diameter of the shaft. Is it possible!

Thanks

Benoit

Explore creating an ipart for your flange bearing and/or shafts. Inventor will recognize the part as being a factory part and present you with dialog boxes to select the appropriate association. After placement, you can select the part's table in the browser and change members thus replacing the part in the assembly while maintaining the existing constraints.

Here are numerous examples:
