How to make drawings of a single part varying its dimensions

$

Hallo,

 

I have a part which is stored as a single code, but that can vary one (or more) of its dimension according to where it is assembled: in my case, it's a hook, and the length of its stem can vary according to the application.

We want to keep only one part file for the "hook.prt" but as many "hook_version_x.drw" as they are used in all the applications.

 

The question is, how can I plot all these .drw keeping the dimensions indicated in them unique and unlinked with those of the part file? otherwise, if I change the dimensions in the part file, obviously (as usual) all the .drw linked to the .prt take the same dimensions and that shall not happen...

 

Am I forced (or advised) to use a family table or can I do it also with flexibility by "unlinking" the dimension of the single .drw with those of the .prt file?

 

(at the moment I am by-passing the problem by converting each .drw views in 2D but that's not a great move I think...)

 

 

Thanks

Bye
