Suppress ilogic rule

[ravikmb5]

is there anyway to supress i logic rule

by another rule

i have two user text parameters 

named

1) Robot_pos and set to multivalue as

   Robot_pos = safe Point

                   = Weld Point

2) Mode = ilogic

               Dynamic_Simulation

                Manual

and rules

1) 

Robot _pos

If Robot_pos = "Safe" Then
S_Axis = "0"
L_Axis = "42"
U_Axis = "35"
R_Axis = "0"
B_Axis = "-45"
T_Axis = "33"

ElseIf Robot_pos = "Weld_Point" Then
S_Axis = "42"
L_Axis = "-5.5"
U_Axis = "15.5"
R_Axis = "-69.5"
B_Axis = "-4.5"
T_Axis = "49"

End If

2nd Rule

Mode rule

If Mode = "Dynamic_Simulation" Then
Constraint.IsActive("S_Axis") = False
Constraint.IsActive("L_Axis")= False
Constraint.IsActive("U_Axis")= False
Constraint.IsActive("R_Axis")= False
Constraint.IsActive("B_Axis")= False
Constraint.IsActive("T_Axis")= False

ElseIf Mode = "Ilogic" Then
Constraint.IsActive("S_Axis") = True
Constraint.IsActive("L_Axis")= True
Constraint.IsActive("U_Axis")= True
Constraint.IsActive("R_Axis")= True
Constraint.IsActive("B_Axis")= True
Constraint.IsActive("T_Axis")= True

End If

what i wanted is in 2nd Rule

 If Mode = "Manual" Then
suppress Robot_pos rule

End if

There might be other ways to do what you want to do.  You might be able to use a True/False (Boolean) parameter.  But if you need it, here's code to suppress a rule:

auto = iLogicVb.Automation
auto.GetRule(ThisDoc.Document, "Robot_pos").IsActive = False

Thanks it worked

 what are the other ways

and one more thing

if Mode = Dynami_simulation

then it has to switch to dynamic Simulation Environment

Elseif Mode = ilogic

it has to switch to part environment

is this possible

I'm not sure if you can switch to the Dynamic Simulation environment and also switch back to the Assembly environment with a rule.

Here's an alternative to suppressing a rule:

Create a True/False parameter named  Robot_pos_Enabled

Add this line to the top of your Robot_pos rule:

If (Not Robot_pos_Enabled) Then Return

That will return (exit from the rule immediately) if Robot_pos_Enabled is False.

Then you can control the value of Robot_pos_Enabled in another rule.
