Adam, 

 

To be honest with you we have not implemented Inventor into any jobs at our company yet. Right now I am trying to make complete models of all our products. I am creating each product so that it is fully adaptable with iLogic to be any size or configuration that we need to cut down on our design time almost entirely.

 

This means that I am not too concerned about changing the material type for an assembly that is used in multiple locations that may have a different material than what I am working on at the moment. I am not sure exactly if this is the right direction to be headed but I am not too experienced with Inventor so I figure I'll deal with that when I get there.

 

For the moment I am uploading the same assembly again but with some important updates to help convey what I am trying to accomplish. I would really appreciate you taking a look at it. I changed the model so that the top level assembly is only composed of sub-assemblies with no stray parts. The top level assembly is composed of three sub-assemblies, If you enter each sub-assembly you will find a rule called "Forum Test" and within it is the code that was given at the beginning of this thread. I tried to control the material is this code from my top level assemblies multi-value lists but was unsuccessful. That code still grabs the material for EVERYTHING in the model even if the rule is placed in a sub-assembly. Please make sure you are on the "iLogic" LOD.

 

I hope this makes sense and gives you a better understanding at what I am trying to do. I appreciate the help!

 

Thanks

Sandro
