Creating table-driven master parts to configure sizes and states with iParts

iParts enable you to create variations in part designs quickly and efficiently. In some cases, you may have a part that is similar to other parts you manufacture, yet only with slight variations. The iPart functionality creates variations or members within the same part file, which can be selected and generated. This means that similar parts do not need to be repeatedly created from scratch. Once a part has been created with iPart members, these members can be documented in a drawing file as a table.

For this iPart recipe, we will create an iPart of an existing bracket already modeled. The iPart will enable the creation of several variations of the bracket.
