Please Review This Rule

ASchlaack — Wed, 18 Feb 2015 15:42:44 GMT

In the Center Cross Member file I have a very basic rule. It's driven off the Length parameter in Skeleton. I can't figure out why it will only fire for the first two cases in the rule. The rule is a basic one I've written many times before but it just won't work for some reason. What is wrong with it?

Hi!

You have to select properly the intervals.

Example:
With your inicial rule, imagine you select a length=200in :

So, what did you expect the program will gonna do??!! 200 it's bigger than 180, but it's also bigger than 120 and also 60!!!

Try to describe exactly the intervals:

SyntaxEditor Code Snippet

If Length <= 60 in Then
    d306 = Length-0.708 in

Else If Length > 60 in And Length <= 120 in Then
    d306 = Length/2+0.792 in

Else If Length > 120 in And Length <= 180 in Then
    d306 = Length

Else If Length > 180 in Then
    d306 = Length/4

End If

Many times I've had the rule like that work perfectly because I have the bigger parts last so it runs in order of the code. Infact just in the .iam that this file is in I havve the rule written for 7 other parts that all work that way. So it just doesnt make sense why it worked 7 times for me then not for this one.

Hi!

Even with ther changes i maded in the code, it continues to work bad.

I believe the file is corrupt.

Create another one from scratch.

Send the file to support.
