Same name issue when calling the iLogic components to different subassemblies

Anonymous

I have an assembly which is opened in a specific project file. The assembly also has subassemblies which are located in separate files. But they are in the same project file for sure. When I call (as Place iLogic Component) the iLogic component in a specific subassembly, the assembly parts of that iLogic component renamed as ":1,:2" etc. as usual. However when I place the reconfigured iLogic component to a different subassembly it is also renamed as ":1,:2" etc. This situation makes problems when I want to use 'Pack and Go' command since the some part names are the same.

 

I am struggling with this issue for a long time so if anyone could help me I will definetly appreciate. Thanks.

Hi,

 

I see your problem. I never use 'place ilogic' component, but it seems to be a valid workflow issue.

I would consider one of the following:

1) Have a 'Master'assembly in which you place each ilogic component first, such that the partname is unique. And then call it in the actual assembly where you need it.

2) Making 'copy designs' of the parts you want to place and then place them in the reqular way.

 

Both options would have you create some sort of library.

Thanks a lot for the reply. Your suggestions works fine but I think this problem could be solved with a proper ilogic code. For example when I call the ilogic component the code finds all ilogic components in the active project file and name the next ilogic component after the last one. I mean sequentially.
