Replace content center part use ilogic

i want to replace part in assembly from content center.

Example: i make hole parameter in assembly, i use bolt from content center.

when i change hole size my bolt will be change automatic.

Hello,

What i am reading from your request is to have a hole in a part, then in an assembly place and constrain a fastener from the content center. then when the hole is updated the fastener would change to reflect the hole diameter change?

@priteshkumarvinchhi, welcome to the forum.

You can do this using the AddContentCenterPart function. Hope this helps, Curtis

• Rename the CC part in the assembly browser, in order to stabilize the component name
• Create a new iLogic rule ( if needed) 
• In the Model tree withing the rule editor, located the CC part and right click on it as shown
• Select "Capture Current State Components.Add ...."
  • I've selected the one using Designation in this example

• It might take a bit as iLogic reads the CC database tables, but eventually it will give you the code to place the CC part
  • Something like this:

  • Dim Hex_Nut = Components.AddContentCenterPart("Hex Nut", "Fasteners:Nuts:Hex", "Heavy Hex Nut - Inch","1/4 - 20")

• You can then use that to create logic such as this where the user selects from a list, and the selected input is used in the AddContentCenterPart function  

  • Dim oList = New String(){"1/4 - 20", "3/4 - 10"}
    Dim oInput As String = InputListBox("Prompt", oList, oList(0), Title := "iLogic", ListName := "List")
    Dim Hex_Nut = Components.AddContentCenterPart("Hex Nut", "Fasteners:Nuts:Hex", "Heavy Hex Nut - Inch", oInput)

Or something like this if based on the hole size as humistonandrew suggested.

Dim holeDia As Double = InputBox("Enter Diameter", "iLogic", 0.266)

Parameter("Bottom Board", "Hole1Diameter") = holeDia

Dim Hex_Nut As ManagedComponentOccurrence = Nothing

If holeDia > 0.75 Then
	Hex_Nut = Components.AddContentCenterPart("Hex Nut", "Fasteners:Nuts:Hex", "Heavy Hex Nut - Inch", "3/4 - 10")
Else
	Hex_Nut = Components.AddContentCenterPart("Hex Nut", "Fasteners:Nuts:Hex", "Heavy Hex Nut - Inch", "1/4 - 20")
End If
