Is it possible to get flexible assembly status?

[bwang-tecoustics]

We can use flexible assemblies and set each assembly to a different setup. Say different extension for a cylinder. Is it possible to get the current extension of each cylinder?

I think the only way to do this is to add a sketch with a reference diameter so that when it moves the dimension updates.

Hello @bwang-tecoustics ,

you can measure the distances or let iLogic do the measuring.

For iLogic: name a face in the cylinder-part and name a face in the piston-part.

Create a rule in the assembly to measure the distances between these faces:

Dist1 = Measure.MinimumDistance("Cylinder:1", "CylinderFace", "Piston:1", "PistonFace")
Dist2 = Measure.MinimumDistance("Cylinder:2", "CylinderFace", "Piston:2", "PistonFace")
...

Could you use annotations and apply a dimension for you stroke?

Here is the method I mentioned above.
