A part family, as the name implies, is a group of similar parts. In 3D modeling software, it is only necessary to create one reference part; other different parts can be automatically generated by editing the parameters. Next, using HaoChen 3D drawing software as an example, we will provide a detailed tutorial on how to use part families to achieve multiple configurations. Example tutorial: In the part shown in the figure below, the length of the cylinder is 500 mm. 1. First, open the HaoChen 3D CAD software. If you want to create parts with a cylinder length of 300 mm or 800 mm, you can open the part family to make the necessary settings. As shown in the figure below: 2. Create new family members and modify the relevant dimensions. HaoChen 3D drawing software also supports the suppression of features, as shown in the figure below (suppression of holes on a part with a tube length of 800 mm). 3. Then set the fill properties, and click Save after completion. As shown in the figure below: 4. After saving, the members of the part family can be called upon. As shown in the figure below: 5. At this point, there will also be a corresponding part family table in the engineering drawing. As shown in the figure below: The above is the tutorial on using part families to achieve multiple configurations in the HaoChen 3D drawing software. Isn’t it simple? Those who are interested can install the HaoChen 3D Drawing software to give it a try~
