iLogic Rule to Change Parameter Values

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I am in need of finding & changing parameter values of a particular feature from a part through iRule. Since, that particular part having lot of features. among them i can able to take that particular feature.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think I understand the problem.
Changing the value of a parameter in iLogic is as easy as myParameter = 2

I'm confused as well.

I guess if you're trying to change them while in the assembly level, I'd say

Parameter("myComponent:1","myParameter") = 2

I feel like that's about as intricate as it gets.

Or Parameter("myParameter") = 2 if it's an external rule.

Hi VICKY,

In the iLogic rule editor, you can cick the Model tab and then expand the feature to see the sketch and parameters used in that feature. In the illustration below, Extrusion1 consumes Sketch2, which contains parameters d25 and d26.

If you right click on the parameter and choose Capture Current State, it will add it to your rule.

Example:

d25 = 2 in

If you right click on the sketch and choose Capture Current State, it will add all of the parameters from the sketch to the rule.

Example:

' ***Sketch2***
d25 = 2 in
d26 = 0.5 in

If you right click on the feature and choose Capture Current State, it will add all of the parameters from the parameter to the rule.

Example:

' ***Extrusion1***
Feature.IsActive("Extrusion1") = True
d26 = 0.5 in
d25 = 2 in
d1 = 0 deg
d0 = 1 in

Hi everyone,

    Thanks for all your valuable feedbacks.... i got find the parameter & changed its value.

    Now i am facing the following difficulties. 

    Example:-

    My Parameter unit defined as 'mm'.  

    My Parameter value is 200 mm. Using iLogic Rule i try to add 10 mm with that parameter. Hence, i got the value as 2100 mm instead of 210 mm.

    Kindly give any solution for the above said issue.

Is the problem that you have definited the parameter in 'cm' but you want it in 'mm'?

In the Parameters window you should be able to define the units of a parameter.

And you can set the default units in the Document settings.

You can do this to the document settings in your template.

Hi Wayne,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I have set parameter unit type and Document settings as you mentioned. But still my problem persists.

    Is there any unit settings for iLogic Rule?....

[waynehelley]

I don't understand where your problem is coming from.

I have my document settings det to 'mm' and a parameter called 'test' set in 'mm'.

If i use the code...

Parameter("test") = Parameter("test") + 10

10mm gets added onto the parameter called 'test'.

You must have something set to 'cm' somewhere or have made a typing-error for your 200mm to be turning into 2000mm.

Thanks for your reply.

I will check somewhere in my parameters.

Post your code here, the problem may pop out at a second set of eyes.
