Turn part On and Off

[thomas.larsen]

Hey

I'm pretty new on ETO, so bear with me.

I'm trying to make a rule where I select a TYPE, if I select the Type Called MO21F I want a part called TUNNION, if I make one of the 2 other choices I want NULLLDESIGN.

But I only can select between the Types, my role can't change between TRUE or FALSE

Here's my rule:

<%%Category("Type"),_

%%Prompt("Vælg Type"),_

%%Choices("MO21, MO21F, MO21T")> _

ParameterRule type AsName = MO21F

Rule typevalg? As Boolean

If (type = MO21F) Then

Return True

Else

Return False

End If

End Rule

Please help

Child trunnion As (If typevalg? Then :Trunnion Else :nullDesign)

End Child

If I understand you correctly, I'd suggest using a rule to specify the design name, then reference that rule in the child rule. Something like this:

Rule childDesign As Name

Dim result as Name

If (some test) Then

result = :Design1

ElseIf (some other test) Then

result = :Design2

Else

result = :NullDesign

End If

Return result

End Rule

Child MyChild As childDesign

... parameters

End Child

Hey

Thanks for the answer, and I will try to use your proposal.

In plain text, this is what I want.

I have a assembly, in 3 different types

MO21

MO21T

MO21F

I want to have a parameter, where I can select one of the types.

If I choose MO21F I want a part called

Trunnion to be inserted, if I choose one of the 2 other types, the Trunnion part should not be inserted
