new to ilogic trying to add, remove and resize

[Anonymous]

i am looking to give a part a length range 

so what i am trying to do is... lets say i have a part (partA) and it can not exceed 120in but i am working with a  140in space. 

i wiould like to make a code that will place 2 (partA) parts in but one at 120in and one at 20in.

 so anytime i get over my set limit it will add another part and size it based in the remaining space..

also trying to center a pattern based on a length of a part but also need to add and remove pattern part count based on length of  the same part

Programming needs should be raised in the Inventor Customization forum for best results.

I will have the moderator relocate your posting there for best results.

Hi @Anonymous 

As mentioned you'll likely want to ask ilogic and programming questions on the Inventor Customization forum:

But here is a simple assembly in a zip file from a past posting that has an example file set that you can look at, it does something very similar to what you request. Download the zip file and extract the files to a folder of your choice , then open the file called Panel Fill.iam, then run the iLogic rule in that file called "Pattern"

I hope this helps.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Those are user parameters in the Assembly.

I hope this helps.
