iLogic to change a parameter and save as part

[autodesk_siva]

Hi,

I have a family of parts in which the length of the part alone varies.

I would like to create all parts by ilogic rather than ipart.

The master model has been created with model parameter as "LENGTH"

Now, I want to write a rule to change the length of master model and save as with new name.

This operation should be repeated for incremental length of the master model.

Can anyone guide me how to do this..

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Sivanantham. V

Hi Siva,

Something like this should help you :

SyntaxEditor Code Snippet

For LENGHT = 1 To 10
    
    Parameter("LENGHT") = LENGHT
    
    iProperties.Value("Summary", "Title") = "PART LG " & LENGHT & " mm"
    iProperties.Value("Project", "Part Number") = "PART" & LENGHT
    iProperties.Value("Project", "Description") = "PART" & LENGHT
    
    Dim Path, PartName, NewFileName As String
    Path = ThisDoc.Path
    PartName = ThisDoc.FileName
    NewFileName = Path & "\" & PartName & " LG " & LENGHT & ".ipt"
    
    ThisDoc.Document.SaveAs(NewFileName, True)
    
Next
