Change LOD in subassembly form top level assembly - iLogic

[Cadguy_2014]

Hi, I have an assembly containing a subassembly. The sub assembly has two LOD. "Custom1" and "Custom2"  I want to be able to change between the two LOD from the toplevel assembly.

Toplevel assembly name is : chair.iam

Subassembly name is : customchair.iam

How does the code in ilogic looks for this ?

Could anyone guide me in the right directions ?

Hi and welcome to the forum!

The following bit of code should be what you need:

compo = Component.InventorComponent("Your_component_name_here")
compo.SetLevelOfDetailRepresentation("Custom1")

You would place this code in a rule in the main assembly file.  Where you see Your_component_name_here in the code, replace that with the assembly browser name of your subassembly component (not the filename of the subassembly).

Post back if you need any more help.
