iLogic Assy. In Vault

[ASchlaack]

I've got an .iam with a ton of driving iLogic Rules in it controlling its about 50 parts. This .iam will go into Vault. 

What I need to know is if I copy design the assy. and change the file names for the parts, will it auto update the names in the .iam's rules?

Example: I have the rule:

SyntaxEditor Code Snippet

If Length_1 <= 120 in Then
    d170= 1ul
    Parameter("15-1-0000-TRAY:1", "TrayLength") = Length_1
    d168 = Length_1
Else If Length_1 > 120 in Then
    d170= 2ul
    Parameter("15-1-0000-TRAY:1", "TrayLength") = Length_1/2
    d168 = Length_1/2
End If

If I change the part name to "15-1-6782-TRAY" will the rule know to change or will it error out because it can't find "15-1-0000-TRAY"? If it will error out how can I get around this so I am able to house this in Vault and copy design it freely?

Hi ASchlaack,

This'll 'lock' the names of the parts in the browser, so that iLogic rules can remain identical even if part (file) names change.
