Link parameters with iLogic

[kresh.bell]

Hi,

could someone make me an iLogic that would do the following when run it:
- I have the "LW" parameter in the assembly environment (it never changes its name).
- after iLogic is run, I would like it to open win explorer in the assembly location
- after that, I would like select the part in whose parameters is the driven dimension whose value I want to link with the "LW" parameter
- is it possible that after selecting that driven dimension, iLogic automatically links it with the "LW" parameter?

thanks

Sure. Keep reading....

[bradeneuropeArthur]

do you prefer an add-in or via i-logic or VBA?

Hi,

thanks for reply, iLogic I think

[bradeneuropeArthur]

let me program quickly...

[bradeneuropeArthur]

what is the name of the paramater to link to?

after that, I would like select the part in whose parameters is the driven dimension whose value I want to link with the "LW" parameter

[kresh.bell]

it is not always the same

[bradeneuropeArthur]

Like this:

Dim a As Inventor.AssemblyDocument = ThisAssembly.Document
Dim p As Inventor.Parameter = a.ComponentDefinition.Parameters.Item("LW")
p.ExposedAsProperty = True
Dim d As Inventor.FileDialog 
ThisApplication.CreateFileDialog(d)
Dim fio As New System.IO.FileInfo(a.FullFileName)
Dim dio As New System.IO.DirectoryInfo(fio.DirectoryName)
msgbox(dio.FullName)
d.InitialDirectory = dio.FullName
d.Filter = "[*ipt]"
d.MultiSelectEnabled = False
d.ShowOpen

Dim prt As Inventor.PartDocument = ThisApplication.Documents.Open(d.FileName, True) 

Dim pc As Inventor.PartComponentDefinition = prt.ComponentDefinition

pc.Parameters.DerivedParameterTables.Add2(a.FullFileName)

Thanks, but maybe we didn't understand each other, I would like the option to select a parameter for the link, not to open the part where that parameter is located

[bradeneuropeArthur]

Could you add some more screenshots or explain step by step, because I think indeed I don't understand what you exactly need.

Best Regards,

Open assembly parameters, click link

select part file in same folder where is assembly

in that part select parameter for link

in assembly, add parameter from part to parameter LW in assembly

[kresh.bell]

nobody have idea about this?

Hi @kresh.bell 

@bradeneuropeArthur got you to the point of adding the derived parameter table and what you need now is to add the parameter. See API help for adding table and the sample for adding the parameter.
