Family of Parts Table dialog box

New Member: Displays the New Member dialog box so you can create a new family of parts member. Type the name you want in the Member Name box.
Copy Member: Displays the Copy Member dialog box so you can copy the active member to a new name. Type the name you want in the Member Name box. This option is available when you select the column heading for one or more family members.
Rename Member: Displays the Rename Member dialog box so you can rename the active member. Type the new name you want in the Member Name box. This option is available when you select the column heading for one or more family members.

Note:

In a Teamcenter-managed environment, changing the member name does not check out the member document and it does not make the member out-of-date.
Delete Member: Deletes the currently selected member. A dialog box is displayed that allows you to conform whether you want to delete the member. This option is available when you select the column heading for one or more family members.
Apply Member: Applies the current settings for a family member to the master part and displays the member characteristics in a preview window. This option is available when you select the column heading for one or more family members.
Select All Members: Selects all the members. This option is useful when you are ready to create member documents for a newly defined family of parts. For example, to create a set of member documents, you can click the Select All Members button, then click the Populate Member(s) button. Member documents for the selected members are created in the folder location specified in the path row for each member.
Set Path: Displays the Browse for Folder dialog box so you can define the folder location for the family members. This option is available when you select the column heading for one or more family members.
Populate Member(s): Creates part documents for the selected family members. You can use the Set Path button to define the folder location you want for each family member. The names for the part documents are the same as the member name. This option is available when you select the column heading for one or more family members.

Note:

In a Teamcenter-managed environment, the Populate Member(s) command checks out the member document and updates the property values.
Save Table Data: Saves the changes you have made to the table.
Restore All: Restores the table to the previous saved configuration. A dialog box is displayed to confirm that you want to discard the changes you have made.

Table Area

Displays the family of part members in a spreadsheet format. A column on the left side contains rows for Design Intent, relationships, ordered features, ordered constructions, and variables for the master part. Additional columns are displayed for each member part you define. You can specify unique characteristics for the member parts you create by suppressing or unsuppressing ordered features or constructions, and typing new values for variables, typing a description and so on. The status row lists the current status for the member part.

You can use the buttons on the top of the dialog box and the shortcut menu commands to define the member characteristics you want.

For QY CAD data management users who selected the option Automatically name files via Document Number and Revision, the system displays a dialog box where you can assign common properties, such as document number and revision number, as explained in Create documents with unique properties.
