Dynamic Parameter calls

Anonymous — Sat, 11 Apr 2020 09:22:47 GMT

I'm working on a project and I would like to know if it is possible to dynamically change which parameter is being called in a function based on the value of another parameter. I'll include an example below:

Param1: 3

Param2: 6

Param3: Param2 / 1.390074

Param4: Param2 / 1.2865413

Param5: Param(Param1)+0.25

Where Param5 would reduce to Param3+0.25, or Param4+0.25 based on the value of Param1.

As someone who comes from Microvellum and has been using excel spreadsheets and database tables to control AutoCAD for years this is something that's very simple to do in my world, but I can't seem to figure out the proper syntax to make it work in Fusion360. That is, if it's even possible.

If it is not possible, I would understand the reluctance to add this feature as it could break the program if the proper precautions aren't taken. The simplest way that this can be added in is to include a parameter setting which converts the parameter value into a drop down list that allows users to define valid values prior to using the aforementioned syntax to prevent reference errors.

no, this is not possible in Fusion today. If/then/else logic is something that is on our roadmap, but no idea when it might become available.
