Ilogic - Assemblies

[Anonymous]

Hello All,

I have an assembly that consists of about a dozen parts, one part controls the width of my assembly. I have generated a form and rules that control my LOD at this time. How do I utilze my "Length" parameter in my part file to control the length in my assembly file. I don't think I have my parameters setup right in my part file or my assembly.

Below will show my setup:

Part File

Parameter - Model - "Length"

Assembly File

I Linked - "Length" from part file

(see screenshot attached)

Any advice will be greatly appreciated

Right now with your code, iLogic is looking for a parameter named with the value of Length, not the name "Length".

Try:

Parameter("Booth_Length") = Parameter("Part 1:1", "Length")

Assuming the Parameter named "Booth_Length" is in the Assembly and the Parameter named "Lenght" is in a part. It's a little hard to tell from the screen shot.

 "Booth_Length" is in the Part File as (Model Parameter) and the "Lenght" is in a Assembly as (User Parameter).

I entered the code and received the same error message.

Parameter(Length) = Parameter(Parameter("**3X2 Standard Front Seat Frame:1", "Booth_Length"))

Error in rule: Length, in document: Main Booth Assembly.iam

Parameter: Could not find a parameter named: "30"

System.ArgumentException: Parameter: Could not find a parameter named: "30"

Parameter(Length) should be Parameter ("Length"). Can you clarify your intent? Is the Assembly size being driven by the part? It looks like you already have the "Booth_Length" parameter linked between the part and the assembly, but the hyperlink is cut off on your screenshot. If so, in the assembly parameters, set the equation for Length to be Booth-Length. Brandon

Can you clarify your intent?

"My goal is to have the form in my assembly adjust the length based on the part"

Is the Assembly size being driven by the part?

"Yes"

It looks like you already have the "Booth_Length" parameter linked between the part and the assembly, but the hyperlink is cut off on your screenshot. If so, in the assembly parameters, set the equation for Length to be Booth-Length.

"Ok, in my assembly (Length) is now equal to (Booth_length) from part file"

You shouldn't need to run another rule. The parameter Length in the assembly should update with the Booth_Length in the part. Brandon

But in my form within the assembly I would like to control the length, so I will need to control the part from the assembly.

[BrandonBG]

Because you already have a link from part->assembly you can't link assembly->part to have the form run in the assembly. You'll get a cyclic dependency error. You may need to rethink how the assembly works or set up an Excel spreadsheet or dummy .ipt to hold the parameter values. Brandon

OK, thank you very much for your time and have a good day.
