I'd like to know the direction and phylosophy on how this stuff will work otherwise anything I do today is useless tomorrow. Some question I have or things I'd like to know:
1. Are Parts here to Stay
2. Will material remain a part item. I assume it will as in how materials are delt with in assemblies
3. I assume the above as even though we acan apply a material to an assembly we cant use this as we must use the material from the part to properly render
IT WOULD SEEM PARTS ARE A MUST FOR PARTS AND ASSEMBLIES ARE THE CATALOG INSTANCES WITH ONE OR MORE PARTS
4. Why not just meld the part symbology into a catalog family - THEN - HAVE CATALOG INSTANCES WITH OVERRIDDEN SYMBOLOGY FOR EACH ASSEMBLY.
5. Then stick it all in a graphical dialog box where everthing is viibly there in front of your face.
