I'm trying to write a method that will collect the dynamic paramters of one child and pass them into another.  I have the method below that will do it however the SalesadditionalParameters rule doesen't unbind to update the SalesConfigurator child.  Any one have any suggestions.  Thanks

      Parameter Rule TestDesignName As Name = : IvCone

      Method GetadditionalParameters (PartToTest As Part) As List

            Dim Tmp                 As List = {}     

            Dim DynRulesList        As List = GetDynamicRules(PartToTest)

            Dim DynRulesPList             As List = {}

            Dim DynRule                   As Name

            For Each DynRule In DynRulesList

                  DynRulesPList = DynRulesPList +  {DynRule, ref(PartToTest, DynRule)}

            Next

            Tmp  = Tmp + DynRulesPList

            Return Tmp

      End Method

      Rule SalesadditionalParameters As List = GetadditionalParameters(DesignConfigurator)

      Child DesignConfigurator As TestDesignName

            origin =                origin

            grounded? =                   False

            ignorePosition? =             False

            DesignConfigurator? =   True

      End Child

      Child SalesConfigurator As TestDesignName

            origin =                DesignConfigurator.Origin + Vector(10, 0, 0)

            grounded? =                   False

            ignorePosition? =             False

            DesignConfigurator? =   False

            additionalParameters = SalesadditionalParameters

      End Child

Hi

Your method will not create a dependency, it can’t since it only determines the dependency on the fly based not on rule values but on the function that assesses if the rule has a dynamic value (this last point is the problem).

One thing you could do is intentionally make the salesadditionalparameters rule depend on the designconfigurator.modelself (assuming that the parameter changes will cause that to be unbound).
