Good morning all. I am curious how you guys strategize handling large part families. I am currently finishing up a 52 member family X 2 operations X 2 First Article and In Process = 208 total programs (x2 for back ups, too!). This number of programs has been a challenge to manage, and the space being taken up on the storage is causing the computer to run slower.
I recently took level 3 training with Hexagon and learned about subroutines and File I/O commands being used to extract values from an external document for things like XYZ values. What I can picture here is having one main "skeleton" program, that would allow you to run the part based off of operator inputs determining which subroutine or file to open.
Is this a strategy any of you use?
Are there any suggestions you guys have for program management on multi skew part families? Thank you in advance!
