Question about iLogic form

phaeronkor — Fri, 20 Jan 2017 15:03:49 GMT

Hello!

Got a question about Forms. I got a form with two variables. Second variable directly depends on the first one.

For example: if first one = 6, then second can be "1, 2 or 3". But if first is equal 4, second can only be 1 or 2.

If I choose 6, the second variable let me choose 1,2 or 3, that's cool. But if I pick 4 from first, the second shows 3 ul (what left from 6, despite of "2" is the maximum value for 4) by default until I chose another one from dropdown menu.

So the question is: is it possible to change the value of second variable automatically to highest availible? For example, if I chose 4 (after there was 6 in first variable) the second automatically changes to "2", instead of 3 ul (maximum value of "6").

In pics:

Want this one to automatically change to highest value "2".

Thanks a lot!

Sorry for number confusion, hope it quite clearly to understand!

@phaeronkor

For programming you should be using the Inventor Customization Forum but its okay that your posted here... Just in the future use that forum for better results.. I think I understand what you're looking for but I will tag @Curtis_W for his input. He should be able to give you a correct solution.

Hi phaeronkor,

Try something like this:

If Param_001 = 4 Then
	MultiValue.SetList("Param_002", 1, 2)
	Param_002 = 2 'default to max value
ElseIf Param_001 = 6 Then
	MultiValue.SetList("Param_002", 1, 2, 3)
	Param_002 = 3 'default to max value
End If

See attached 2015 file also.

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis

Hello!

Sorry for chosing wrong forum... I'll do the right next time.

For Your proposal...that works, but due to "Param_002 = 3" I can't change this parameter anymore through Form, it always set to 3.

Hi phaeronkor,

Ooooops!

Yeah, that was silly of me. Try something like this instead:

If Param_001 = 4 Then
	MultiValue.SetList("Param_002", 1, 2)
	If Param_002 = 3 Then  Param_002 = 2'default to max value
ElseIf Param_001 = 6 Then
	MultiValue.SetList("Param_002", 1, 2, 3)
End If

I hope this helps.

Yeah! Thanks a lot! That is working, I see it without Inventor. Glad that there're guys like you!

BTW, next time I should think a little more harder before post my question on the forum, the answer was quite simple, my bad =(
