ilogic form in iam - change parameters in ipt

marcin_bargiel — Sat, 19 Nov 2016 14:06:16 GMT

I'd like to makecomponent in ipt file (multibody part), a then in iam link all parameters, and then from iam.

From iam i can change all parameters using iLogic eg. Parameter("something.IPT", "height") = 500 - it is working good.

But i want to change parameters eg. "height" directly from the form - but parameters from form are read only ?!

There is workaround to make new parameters in iam which use in form, and then use ilogic to change ipt file - but it's long way...

Is there a way to do it faster/better ?

You want to change the linked parameter name? Could you upload your file so we can see what you're trying to achieve?

I want change parameter "height" from FORM1 (wihout need using new parameter "copy_of_height" - because i got thousand of them...)

"height" is linked from part1.ipt

am I correct in thinking that you have loads of parts with the parameter name height that need changing from the top level? And rather than using this code: Parameter("part1.ipt", "height") = copy_of_height

You want to iterate through all parts in the assembly, changing the value 'Height' to equal your parameter 'copy_of_height'?

I think we do not understand each other.
I want to control all parameters in ipt file, but from the FORM in iam file.

Actually i can also make FORM just in ipt -and control all parameters, but there are some things i can change only from iam for example part name, BOM structure, additional parts etc.

I solved by myself 🙂 !

I did not have to link parameters, but export/import parameters...

solution attached

Hello,

I'd really like to know what your workflow was on this. I'm fairly certain I'm trying to do something similar but running into a lot of issues. I looked at your file but couldn't quite figure out what the order of operations was.
