iLogic Code to flip hole direction in an assembly

[BromanSillito]

I"m creating an assembly that has pipe nozzles that have holes thru one wall. I would like to be able to use iLogic to create a rule that flips the hole direction. For example, the user might have a multi-value parameter box in a form where they could choose "0 deg" or "180 deg". Depending on which one they chose, it would flip the direction of the hole. Can anybody help me out? Here are some pics:

I could see this as being more a time isssue then.

What happens if you have more than 1 hole and only want to rotate 1 or 2 of the holes, not all. It would need a pick option then.

Also what if the person models the hole on the outside tangent vs from the center out?

You'll also need to do it in part level, unless it's a weldment, and that starts another search and find of the hole for ilogic I would think

If it's a single hole only. ..not more. Why not make a rotate 180 of the part. Just a suggestion.

Thank you for the reply! I only want to flip the 1 hole, and the hole is modeled from the center out. This actually is a weldment. I can't do it on the part level, because it's a content center part & we want to use raw content center parts in the top-level (company policy, I can't change it). My constraint scheme makes it difficult to put the angle mate on this part & flip it 180 degrees. Is there a way to flip the hole in a weldment using some ilogic or vb code?

So if I understand correctly, the standard content centre part has no holes in it & you want to choose which side to add the hole in your weldment assembly?

If so, I would model two different holes at assembly level (Hole1 & Hole2) and use the following code to suppress either hole depending on what multivalue param is chosen.

If multivalue parameter = "Left" (or whatever you want to call it)

Feature.IsActive("Hole1")= True
Feature.IsActive("Hole2")= False

ElseIf multivalue parameter = "Right" (or whatever you want to call it)

Feature.IsActive("Hole1")= False
Feature.IsActive("Hole2")= True

End If

Thanks! This is actually what I did originally. However, I need to repeat this feature in other places & wanted to reduce the number of features as much as possible. However, if no other option is available I may go with this.

I ended up just creating a hole that could be rotated 360 degrees using a parameter. Easy to change from 0 to 180 degress.
