Change content center component based on parameter changes

david_campbell — Thu, 23 Aug 2012 14:37:36 GMT

How can I change size of the content center part in an assembly based on parameters using iLogic.

There is also the possibility that I would need to replace from content center. I have been unsuccessful in adapting previous examples to work as I need. attached is an example of a part I am tryig to change with parameters and the start of some iLogic. I am using inventor 2012

Thanks

LOL you have to pack and go your assembly just posting the iam does not send parts. iam is just a configurator that keeps information of parts and constraints but has no ipt's.

Here's a post about changing content center components:

There are no dedicated iLogic functions for content center operations. I recommend using the external rule in the file ContentCenterReplace.txt. The latest version of that (from 03-20-2012) is posted on page 3 of the post above.
You can also find sample rules in other text files.
