Advise for a applicable command to resolve the issue

JohnBoySarcia — Mon, 16 Jan 2023 03:05:02 GMT

Hi, Good day.

Is anyone can give me an advise for a command applicable to resolve the issue.

I'm currently using if and then or if and elseif but the program simulates per line in order. If it satisfy A having mate1 constraint active, once it read at B and it was false, then it turns off mate1. On actual I have 20 parts that others sharing some of the constraint. Target is to deactivate others except for the true ones. Others is suggesting loop but don't know how. Newbie in logics and VBA. Thanks

Example:

If A = 1 Then

Constraint.IsActive("Mate:1") = True

Constraint.IsActive("Mate:2") = True

Else

Constraint.IsActive("Mate:1") = False

Constraint.IsActive("Mate:2") = False

End If

If B = 2 Then

Constraint.IsActive("Mate:1") = True

Constraint.IsActive("Mate:3") = True

Else

Constraint.IsActive("Mate:1") = False

Constraint.IsActive("Mate:3") = False

EndIf

Hello it is a little hard to follow the changes you require. Could you share some images of what you want to achieve and or how you are currently manually achieving your goal. Can you provide full list of parts, you said you had 20? What is the reason to remove the constraints?

Herewith attached, the parts are from V1 to V20, there's a slot from 1 to 33 depending on the required size, A to E are the options but there's until L on current plan. Target is to position the parts based on mapping on excel. If other constraint does not use will not be turn off, then it has a conflict to the parts to change its location. If the constraint is not shared with other parts, then it was run smoothly

The chart does help but I don't think I'm able to place the relationships between part, slot, mate and option. Can you supply a sample of one manually placed. Can you place a few parts and use capture constraints in ilogic editor to show how it is working.

kindly skip once it looks for the excel program. Thanks

No more development on this once since I have implemented a work around
