IF-ELSE-THEN NOT RUNNING PROPERLY-ILOGIC

[cameron.frederiksen]

 I realized that Inventor has issues running this code. The code works but if the drawing associated to the assembly model is not updated every time you make a change, it does update your code. So I found that cleaning up my code a bit helped a little. Now the main issue is that when I use

 ThisBOM.OverrideQuantity("Model Data","11000138", "5")  I have to refresh the drawing and model and even sometime close the program for it to update the quantities in the BOM. Is there anyway to have this update correctly everytime?

Now I tried using select case and having the user input the quantities and clamp number, but the issue is still the same. I have to keep updated the drawing/model and even having to close the autodesk 2017 program and then It might update the BOM quantities.

'CLAMP SELECTION OVER 12"
If ID1 >12 Then
quantity = ThisBOM.CalculateQuantity("Model Data", "11000063")
quantity = ThisBOM.CalculateQuantity("Model Data", "11000064")
quantity = ThisBOM.CalculateQuantity("Model Data", "11000065")
quantity = ThisBOM.CalculateQuantity("Model Data", "11000066")
quantity = ThisBOM.CalculateQuantity("Model Data", "11000067")
quantity = ThisBOM.CalculateQuantity("Model Data", "11000068")
quantity = ThisBOM.CalculateQuantity("Model Data", "11000069")
quantity = ThisBOM.CalculateQuantity("Model Data", "11000070")
quantity = ThisBOM.CalculateQuantity("Model Data", "11000071")
quantity = ThisBOM.CalculateQuantity("Model Data", "11000138")

Select Case O_CLAMP_ID1
Case "11000063"
Component.IsActive("11000063") = True
Case "11000064"
Component.IsActive("11000064") = True
Case "11000065"
Component.IsActive("11000065") = True
Case "11000066"
Component.IsActive("11000066") = True
Case "11000067"
Component.IsActive("11000067") = True
Case "11000068"
Component.IsActive("11000068") = True
Case "11000069"
Component.IsActive("11000069") = True
Case "11000070"
Component.IsActive("11000070") = True
Case "11000071"
Component.IsActive("11000071") = True
End Select
ThisBOM.OverrideQuantity("Model Data",O_CLAMP_ID1, O_CLAMP_QTY)
End If

So basically I found that I have to save the Model, then the drawing. Then the drawing says the context is open in another file and I need to save that file so I hit okay and it brings me back to the model where I try to save it, but then it says I need to save from a different level of detail so I then have to go through and save all the level of details, then go back to the illogic level of detail and save that. Once, I do all that I open my illogic form and change the quantities and then they final F***ing update.

running an event trigger on my illogic rules forced the bom to update.
