iLogic rule not running when parameters change

[Anonymous]

I am creating an assembly using a skeleton model to drive all the component parts. In this skeleton model I have several parameters to define the geometry. For my component parts I first derive the skeleton into a part and then use the derived parameters to drive the model parameters. Now, in my component part ipt I have a rule that will set the material based on parameters from the derived skeleton model. The problem is that the rule does not run when the parameters from the skeleton model change. If I manually run the rule it works fine and I can make it run by manually changing a parameter in the part (not the skeleton), but it will not run automatically like it should. And no, the "Don't run automatically" box is not checked. Any thoughts?

Are your parameters exported? And also, where are you changing the parameters, from the part itself or from a form? If you are not using a form to change the parameters with exported parameters like in this case ( linking parameters from an outer assembly "skeleton" ) there could be problems like this.

Just try to use a form to change your parameters.

Yes, my parameters are marked for export and I am using a form in the top level assembly to change the parameters.

so you use the eventtrigger "on any parameter change" ??

and what about a rule that only has   X = YourParameter .... put in a message box ..?

can you share an example?

what inventor version are you working with?

Hi daleschumann,

See the explanation at this link and let us know if this is not the situation you're seeing:
