Child Ilogic Assembly. How to define / drive representation?

Hello ,

 

After Adoption of 3 ILOGIC assemblies and using them as children  in my overall ETO Assembly I always need to change the representation.

The programm consists of the option to choose one of the 3 ILogic assemblies. Everytime the user chooses another

one out of those 3 the MASTER representation is active. Can I drive this from ETO to not always manually define the representation?

 

Thank you / Regards

Timo

Timo,

 

 Do you want to drive the View representation or the Level of Detail representation?

Hi Timo,

 

Intent does not create any Design View Representation (with exception of the predefined "Intent" one).

 

But Intent can switch between DVRs on the top level through iv_setActiveDesignViewRep( Root, "DVR") Function.

 

So, your template can have three predefined DVRs, that you can switch through the Parameter change.

 

Your each sub-assembly should contain the same set of the DVRs (and the DVR should be associative).

 

===============================

We can give you better answer if you please create the simple test case for us that demonstrates what you are trying to achieve.

 

Thank you,

Alex,

Thank you ,

 

you tell us :  "on the top level through iv_setActiveDesignViewRep( Root, "DVR") Function".

Iam no quite clear how to apply this if the subassembly changes everytime the user chooses another subassembly.

 

I do not want to drive the TOP level respresentation as this will not lead to what is required . I need to define the view representation of the ILOGIC assembly choosen by the user. This child allways appears in the wrong representation.

 

can I use iv_setActiveDesignViewRep( <subassembly>, "Ilogic") Function also in the subassebly adopted design ? If yes how ?

Imagin the Pump MD100_300 Assembly is an Ilogic assembly and will be choosen completly by the user.  If User changes to another model then this other child appears in MASTER view Representation. This is what I need to change automatically.

 

Following Line won't compile

Hello,

 

sorry for the coding error above !

But I don't know how to apply this function as is simply provides false as information.

 

Intent

>iv_setActiveDesignViewRep ( Me, "Ilogic")

--> False

 

So how to work properly with this function I do not know

 

Thank you / Regards

Hi Timo,

 

Could you please contact ADN support? Provide the data model, and we will look into the possible solution.

 

Thank you,

Thank you for this suggestion,

 

I will apply for ADN as soon as I get the costs approved.

attached find simple model .

 

Open Assembly24 and change Parameter choose.

you will find that the assembly always appears in Master view representation.

 

How to SET "ilogic" view representation automatically after

choose set from 1 to 2 and the other way.
