TYPES OF FAMILIES
There are different types of families in the library.
- Unitary families: Simple families, one item code for each family.
- Multiarticle families: There are more than one code in the family and it is possible to enable one or the other through dynamism. There are two types of multi-article families:
- Dynamic: The item will change depending on the dimensions of the family. The user must input the correct value in the properties or adjust the family accordingly.
Example: BRIO_LEDGER_DYN
-
- By types: The user must select the desired type.
Example: BOLT M16_DYN
- SETs: Is a family that contains nested families. Those grouped families have some parameters that allow the personalised setting of the group. It is composed of more than one item code. Note: This type of families will only be available with the PRO version.
