Multiple Factory File Directories

Hello,

I'm attempting to use source control management with my Intent project. This is really easy with design files. When I make a new branch I just create a new project file, tell it where to look for my branched design files and include the main project as a dependent.

However, when I want to branch off some factory files it's a bit trickier. I haven't found a good solution yet. I've tried branching off the factory files I want to work with and their adopt files and creating a new project, but this hasn't been very successful.

Has anyone else tried anything like this?

Thanks,
D. Johnson

You can change the location that an Intent design uses to locate its factory files by passing into your child a value for the following parameter, or by redefining (overriding) the rule itself (this rule is defined in the " %%IvAdoptedPart" design):


' directory location where factory file resides -- defaults to location of library for the part's design '
< %%category("Inventor") > _
Parameter Rule factoryFileDirectory As String = LibraryLocation(designLibrary(designName))

Or you can redefine the following rule instead (in the same design):

Rule %%factoryFilePath As String

Hope this helps.
