iLogic rules gets triggered by another rule

Hi,

I've got two iLogic rules, but one of them seems to trigger the other somehow.

Rule 1 = Assemble

Rule 2 = Check Excel

When i check the Excel, it somehow runs Rule 1 after it's finished, but i don't understand why.

Rule 2 code:

Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO Sub Main() Dim oDoc As Inventor.Document = ThisDoc.Document Dim oSourceFile As String = "X:\Path\Test.xlsx" Dim CellCounter As Integer = 1 Dim FileTotal As Integer = 4 Do While CellCounter < FileTotal Parameter("Type") = GoExcel.CellValue(oSourceFile, "Blad1", "A" & CellCounter).ToString Parameter("Vermogen") = GoExcel.CellValue(oSourceFile, "Blad1", "B" & CellCounter).ToString Parameter("Motorflens") = GoExcel.CellValue(oSourceFile, "Blad1", "C" & CellCounter).ToString Parameter("Rem") = GoExcel.CellValue(oSourceFile, "Blad1", "D" & CellCounter).ToString Parameter("Handrem") = GoExcel.CellValue(oSourceFile, "Blad1", "E" & CellCounter).ToString Parameter("Handrem_Positie") = GoExcel.CellValue(oSourceFile, "Blad1", "F" & CellCounter).ToString Parameter("Wartelpositie") = GoExcel.CellValue(oSourceFile, "Blad1", "G" & CellCounter).ToString Parameter("Bestandsnaam") = GoExcel.CellValue(oSourceFile, "Blad1", "H" & CellCounter).ToString Parameter("Opslaan") = "Ja" CellCounter = CellCounter + 1 Loop End Sub

Why is this happening? i disabled all event triggers

Additional information of which i'm not sure wether it's important; The paramater are present in rule 1 as well and get used for the assembly.

Hi @Daan_M . You change user parameters using the Parameter() function, if your Rule 1 = Assemble is among "Event Triggers" "Any User Parameter Change" then it will automatically fire.

Found the problem;

One of the user paramaters in rule 1 was stated as:

Bestandsnaam

instead of:

Parameter("Bestandsnaam")

When rule 2 changes this paramater based on the Excel, the parameterchange triggers rule 1.

Which i still find a bit strange, since i have the Event trigger for 'Any User Parameter Change' disabled;

Either way this solved the problem, for future users looking for the answer
