"Constraint.IsActiveInComponent" gives error

[tom89Y38]

Hi all,

I want to suppress a constraint in a sub-assembly. The code that I use:

Constraint.IsActiveInDoc("000090-0000-A.iam", "Insert_180:1")=False

This works perfect but i can't copy and rename the parts because the iLogic rule won't find the filename anymore.

Instead of this i used the following code(like advised on https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2020/ENU/Inve... :

Constraint.IsActiveInComponent("Empty_Pallet_Stopper:1", "Insert_180:1") = False   

This should work perfect, but it doesn't. I get the following error (see attached image) 

Anyone who could give me some advice? I use Inventor 2019

Hi @tom89Y38 

It seems that "Insert_180:1" doesn't exist in the component "Empty_Pallet_Stopper:1"?

[tom89Y38]

It does exist, when i use the filename instead of the display name it works perfect.

@tom89Y38 

Constraint.IsActiveInComponent seems to take the actual leaf occurrence that the constraint is acting on.

I think this will work for you:

Constraint.IsActiveInComponent("000090-PL0007:1", "Insert_180:1") = False

This works! thanks a lot!

Looks like i was confused by this explenation on the Autodesk help page:

To copy and rename all the files in an assembly while keeping all the rules intact, use Constraint.IsActiveInComponent and specify a subassembly name instead of the filename.
