what is the correct way to write this iLogic?
Maybe like this?
If Handrail_Style = "Straight" Then
Parameter("L2A") = 180
Parameter("L3A") = 180
ElseIf Handrail_Style = "L Shape" Then
If Parameter("L2A") < 20 Then
Parameter("L2A") = 20
ElseIf Parameter("L2A") > 179 Then
Parameter("L2A") = 179
End If
Parameter("L3A") = 180
ElseIf Handrail_Style = "C Shape" Then
If Parameter("L2A") < 20 Then
Parameter("L2A") = 20
ElseIf Parameter("L2A") > 179 Then
Parameter("L2A") = 179
End If
If Parameter("L3A") < 20 Then
Parameter("L3A") = 20
ElseIf Parameter("L3A") > 179 Then
Parameter("L3A") = 179
End If
ElseIf Handrail_Style = "S Shape" Then
If Parameter("L2A") < 20 Then
Parameter("L2A") = 20
ElseIf Parameter("L2A") > 179 Then
Parameter("L2A") = 179
End If
If Parameter("L3A") < 181 Then
Parameter("L3A") = 181
ElseIf Parameter("L3A") > 340 Then
Parameter("L3A") = 340
End If
End If

Hi @chris. They can be a little confusing at first if you have not yet used them that much in that many scenarios. You can see the available options in the iLogic Rule editor dialog, under the 'Operators' drop-down. When combining a single < or > with a =, the equal sign is always the second symbol (<= or >=). When using the <= symbols together between two values, the statement will evaluate to True if the value on the left side of those 2 operators is less than or equal to the value on the right of those operators. And when using the >= operators between two values, the statement will evaluate to True if the value to the left of those operators is greater than or equal to the value to the right of those operators.
Also keep in mind that when controlling suppression by code, they need to be done in propper order, or they may throw errors, or cause other problems. For instance, you should suppress the component pattern before suppressing the component that the pattern is based uppon. And you should unsuppress the component that the pattern us based upon, before unsuppressing the component pattern that is based on that component. And just in general suppress the later created features that are dependant on earlier created features before suppressing the earlier created features that have other features dependant on them. Then unsuppress the earlier features first, before unsuppressing the features that are depentant on the earlier features. That means not simply using the same ordered list of stuff on both sides of an argument that is controlling suppression.

Hi @chris
I think you can reduce this all to two lines.
Feature.IsActive("SV") = (SL >= Osha_V_Off) Feature.IsActive("Rectangular Pattern14") = (SL >= Osha_V_Off)
the Feature.IsActive function returns either true or false
the equation ( SL >= Osha_V_Off) also returns either true or false
so you can set these to together with an equal sign such as this:
Feature.IsActive("SV") = (SL >= Osha_V_Off)
so that the feature's active status is always whatever (SL >= Osha_V_Off) evaluates as.
so when Osha_V_Off is a constant of 72
if SL = 50, then (SL >= Osha_V_Off) returns FALSE because 50 is not greater or equal to 72
if SL = 72, then (SL >= Osha_V_Off) returns TRUE because 72 is equal to 72
if SL = 80, then (SL >= Osha_V_Off) returns TRUE because 80 is greater than 72
I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

Hi @chris,
I can't think of better way than this, but I think this should work.
If L2A < 20 Then L2A = 20 ElseIf L2A > 340 Then L2A = 340 ElseIf L2A = 180 Then L2A = 179 End If
I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

That's a tough one. I'm thinking another rule a bit similar to the first one may be needed to help control something like that. Below is a simple example that could likely be used if you want it to work silently in the background.
oVal = Parameter("L2A")
If oVal < 20 Then
oVal = 20
ElseIf oVal > 340 Then
oVal = 340
ElseIf oVal = 180 Then
oVal = 179 'or 181
End If
If Parameter("L2A") <> oVal Then Parameter("L2A") = oValor you could just use something like a warning message, that doesn't actually try to control its value, like this.
oVal = Parameter("L2A")
If oVal < 20 Or oVal = 180 Or oVal > 340 Then
MessageBox.Show("The Value of 'L2A' must be between 20 & 340, but not 180", "Parameter Out Of Limits", _
MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Warning)
