Need some help with a "simple" piece of iLogic

[chris]

I'm trying to just add some parameters together to drive another parameter, but I'm getting an error... of course the error is not explained, so I was just wondering if you guys could take a look at the line that is producing the error and tell me what I am "writing" wrong.

I did the same equation with just number s and it worked fine, so I assume it's something to do with a "(" or something?

Hello,

As you have it written there is an apostrophe at the start of that line. that means inventor thinks it is just text information. remove that apostrophe and try it. Everything else seems to be correct.

[chris]

yes, I added that to avoid having to "suppress" it... but once that is removed I get the error... there is something in line 11 that is not jiving...

Are you working in the "Template_Jumper_Kit_1-01:1"? or in an Assembly that includes that item?

Hello @chris

Could you attach your files with the iLogic code in please?

To help understand why it isn't working.

Thomas.

okay, I removed the "make Path" parameter... and it works... but I need that parameter to be part of that equation?

Okay, figured it out... I had the wrong sub assy. file name... it would be helpful if the error stated what the problem "was" instead of just stating there is an error....

[Anonymous]

Awesome. I was just looking at that make path part of that. Glad you figured it out!

I think we can all agree that if it told you what there error was it would be much less frustrating. The only problem is that Inventor has no way of know your end goal therefore it cannot tell you if something specific is wrong
