I need a rod with a section at one end threaded. The rod Dia is to be controlled via excel input and is also affected by user input in a popup window. However every time the rod Dia changes I get an inappropriate thread size warning. So in an attempt to counter it I did the following.
Created my rod with thread feature and suppresed the rod feature
add this rule with an event trigger of parameter changes
Feature.IsActive("Thread3") = False
If lowrod_dia = 12 Then
Feature.ThreadDesignation("Thread3") = "M12x1.75"
ElseIf lowrod_dia = 16 Then
Feature.ThreadDesignation("Thread3") = "M16x2"
EndIf
Feature.IsActive("Thread3")= True
after that it seems to work but im thinking there should be a less bodged solution. Anyone got any ideas?
