A part family table is stored in what file?

A part family table is stored in an internal spreadsheet within the template file. This internal spreadsheet is specifically designed to manage the variation parameters of a family of parts, allowing users to create and modify multiple configurations efficiently. Using an internal spreadsheet simplifies the process by keeping all relevant data contained within the template, ensuring that users don’t have to manage separate external files for variations.

The integration of the part family table directly within the template file helps maintain consistency and reduces the risk of errors that can occur when handling external links. This approach supports streamlined updates and version control since any changes made to the family table will automatically apply to the template when it is accessed, enhancing the usability of the design process in Siemens NX.
