iLogic If then formulas

[128848]

Hi!

I have an assembly with several parts where I use a pattern to duplicate the parts in the height. I cannot use the pattern sideways due to different center distances between the parts. I could get this distance by using several patterns, but I rather not if there is another way.

I have made a code for suppressing the parts in element 2 if the same part is suppressed in element 1.

IfComponent.IsActive("FB-07 midtstykke-001:1")=False ThenComponent.IsActive("FB-07 midtstykke-001:2")=FalseElseComponent.IsActive("FB-07 midtstykke-001:2")=TrueEndIf

which works fine, however, I only want the rule to run if two criterias are true. I`ve tried the following:

If Component.IsActive("FB-02 midtstykke-001:1") = False And No = 2 Then

component.IsActive("FB-07 midtstykke-001:2") = False

Else

Componen.....

End if

But this rule runs even if No = 3, which it shouldnt. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance 🙂

I usually use this method as I have had trouble using 'AND'.

If Component.IsActive("FB-02 midtstykke-001:1") = False

         If No = 2 Then

         component.IsActive("FB-07 midtstykke-001:2") = False

         Else

         Componen.....

         End If

Else

Component...

End if

It's basically just an IF within an IF

Nice, Thank you!

However, this code does not turn the part back on if Component.IsActive("FB-02 midtstykke-001:1") = True

If Component.IsActive("FB-07 midtstykke-001:1")=False Then	IfNo=2 ThenComponent.IsActive("FB-07 midtstykke-001:2")=FalseElseComponent.IsActive("FB-07 midtstykke-001:2")=TrueEndIf	EndIf
IfComponent.IsActive("FB-07 midtstykke-001:1")=TrueThen	IfNo=2 ThenComponent.IsActive("FB-07 midtstykke-001:2")=TrueElseComponent.IsActive("FB-07 midtstykke-001:2")=FalseEndIfEndIf

What would the code be if I should have used 1 if then code? Is it better to use 1 more complex then 2 "easier" code?this code will be copied maaaaany times!

some thing happend there.

Basically the same formula, but if compon... = True then

if No = 2 then

Com....

You shouldn't have to copy the code twice with 'False' replaced with 'True.  The function after 'Else' should do this for you. 

What is 'No'?  If it is a parameter, then you will need to replace it with 'Parameter("No")'.   

I'm not sure I understand what you are wanting to achieve but try pasting the following. 

If Component.IsActive("FB-02 midtstykke-001:1") = False Then

         If Parameter("No") = 2 Then

         Component.IsActive("FB-07 midtstykke-001:2") = False

         Else

         Component.IsActive("FB-07 midtstykke-001:2") = True

         End If

Else

component.IsActive("FB-07 midtstykke-001:2") = True

End if

The "And" function works just fine for me in my applications, I use it extensively. Can you post your files or an example that shows the same problem for me to look at?
