How to Add Errors and Warnings to Custom Subassemblies

[camden.n.dean]

Hello,

Is there a way to add custom error/warning messages to a custom subassembly?

I'd like to show the C3D user a message in a few different scenarios. First, when they enter a value for a parameter that is outside of an expected range. Second, I would like to give them a message when the parameters they enter cause them to take a different branch on a decision/switch.

Is there any way to do this?

I suppose I could cobble it together using output parameters, but that is a sub-optimal approach because the messages will not be in the Event Viewer like all other warnings and errors.

This isn't make or break, but it would make things much nicer and aid in understaning why the subassembly is behaving the way it is.

Thanks for any insight!

Okay this was supremely obvious. There is a "Report Message" option in the tool box.
