create parameters using parameters

[nstalker]

Is it possible to create paramaters using parameters?  For example, if I have a user parameter called "Number of parts".  If the user enters 4 can Inventor then create (4) sets of the following parameters:

Part 1 Length

Part 1 Width

Part 1 Height

Part 2 Length/W/H etc all the way up to Part 4.

Can I use iLogic to create parameters based on a single user parameter?

Couple of thoughts

"4 Parts" usually means 4 of the same part unless you have a way of explaining how the parts are different.

The length, width and height is very easy to build into a template

If there were 4 parts, for example, I would like the following parameters generated:

Part 1 Length

Part 1 Width

Part 1 Height

Part 1 Quantity

Part 2 Length

Part 2 Width

Part 2 Height

Part 2 Quantity

Part 3 Length

Part 3 Width

Part 3 Height

Part 3 Quantity

Part 4 Length

Part 4 Width

Part 4 Height

Part 4 Quantity

If there are 2 parts then I want half of those parameters.  I'm not referring to an Inventor part.  I'm referring to "part" generically; the word "part" could be replaced with the word "item".

You edit a .ipt template to give you length, width and height, BOM will count the parts for you

thanks for your response!  I don't want to use an assembly.  The application I'm looking to solve would be a roller rack design.  I don't even need to show the parts on the rack.  I just need to size the rack.  So if I enter 3 parts, for example I only need to provide dimensional sizes for 3 boxes.  Then I will have ilogic and parameters create the required number and size of lanes for those parts.

If, however there are 16 or 48 lanes, then I would like ilogic to create the necessary parameters.
