How to: Normal Part Parameters referencing to active iPart Parts Parameters

[christoffel5DETV]

Good day Everyone.

I'll try and explain my situation as best I can, so bear with me.

I created a iPart. This iPart is a round flange that connects to pipes. I have 4x different variants of this round flange.

8inch, 10inch, 12inch, 14inch.

Now what I wish to achieve from all this is to create a transition between 2x flanges, let's say 10inch to 8inch.

So there will be a "Round to Round" transition (See attached photo for better clarity).

As per picture: BLUE = 10" flange; CYAN = 8" Flange; YELLOW = Transition

I want the Yellow part (Transition) to reference to the parameters to these 2x round flanges so the transition can update automatically. If I want to create a 14" to 8" Transition and I go to the model browser, and change the Blue Flange to 14" via the iParts Table, I want the Yellow part (transition) to update by itself, instead of me having to go and manually change a few dimensions.

I hope who ever reads this understands.

If you maybe have other ways of doing this, please do tell. I have not used things like iAssemblies and iLogic before, and I have a feeling that they would have ways of doing what I want to archive.

Any opinion and answers are welcome.

Thank you.😁

.... Yes, I did, didn't I.😂

Sorry for that, please find attached to this message.

Hi! I believe you need to use iLogic in this case. iLogic allows you to access parameters at all levels within the assembly.

Many thanks!

I think you're right. Just thought there might be a way around it, but thank you Johnson.
