iLogic: Change same parameter of different occurences to different values

[Anonymous]

Greetings!

I am searching for an iLogic rule to Change the same Parameter of multiple occurences of the same .ipt to different vaules.

Example:

In Assembly 1 there are two occurences of Part A ( so Part A:1 and Part A:2). I want to change the parameter "LENGTH" in both occurences. However i want "LENGTH" in Part A:1 to be 15 and "LENGTH" in Part A:2 to be 50.

Does anyone know of or have any ideas of how to achieve this?

Hi dalapointe4410,

Part A:1 and Part A:2 are the same file, presumably Part A.ipt 

The part file contains the parameter, therefore there is only one parameter. So changing the parameter in Part A.ipt changes it in every occurrence of that file (in the current assembly, and any other assemblies that might use, past and future.

So the request is not possible, as you've asked it.

So you'd need to save off Part A:2 as a new part file, such as Part B.ipt, and then you can change it without impacting Part A.ipt.

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

Curtis,

Thank you for your quick reply. Your answer is what i was assuming. i had tried it a few ways and couldn't get it to work. I am still newer to iLogic so i wasn't sure if there was something i was missing that i could set up. Thanks again for your help!
