iLogic for Modifiable Posts in Assembly

[kerem.izmirli]

Hi, 

I am a complete beginner to iLogic and don't really understand the coding language, but I am trying to implement it into some of my designs for work. A brief run down on what I'm trying to achieve is create a assembly file of a guard post, which can be all different configurations (e.g., no of bolts, heights, mounting attachments, etc.) and I have managed to create this using model states (Inventor 2022) and multi-value parameters to determine what model state, and it works when I'm in the main assembly and configuring the posts, but once I place it into the top level assembly (existing structure where posts will be installed), I place it as "Place iLogic Component" and it doesn't work anymore. 

I am suspecting because in my rule I have put

ThisDoc.ActiveModelState = "Insert Post Type"

 and once I place it into the top level assembly it then references that assembly.

So I was wondering how I can make it reference my assembly model/file directly instead of ThisDoc.ActiveModel.

Here is an example of some code, it's probably not the right way, but it's self taught within a matter of two days, if anyone has anywhere I can learn iLogic coding and the language and anything else that may help, it would be much appreciated. 

Here's an example of where I started, then I would manually suppress/unsuppress in the model states.

If Post_Type = "A" And Post_NoBolts = "1" Then ThisDoc.ActiveModelState = "Type A-1"
If Post_Type = "A" & Post_NoBolts = "2" Then ThisDoc.ActiveModelState = "Type A-2"
If Post_Type = "B" & Post_NoBolts = "1" Then ThisDoc.ActiveModelState = "Type B-1"
If Post_Type = "B" & Post_NoBolts = "2" Then ThisDoc.ActiveModelState = "Type B-2"

After some tweaking, I have now done it like the following 

Parameter("Master", "Post_NoBolts") = Post_NoBolts

If Type = "A1" Then ThisDoc.ActiveModelState = "Type A-1"

If ThisDoc.ActiveModelState = "Type A-1" Then
	MultiValue.SetList("Post_Type", "A", "B")
Post_Type = "A"
MultiValue.SetList("Post_NoBolts", 1, 2)
Post_NoBolts = 1 ul
Post_BoltCrs  = 0 mm
Component.IsActive("LH Bolt") = True
Constraint.IsActive("LH Insert") = True
Component.IsActive("RH Bolt") = False
Constraint.IsActive("RH Insert") = False

End If

If Type = "A2" Then ThisDoc.ActiveModelState = "Type A-2"

If ThisDoc.ActiveModelState = "Type A-2" Then
	MultiValue.SetList("Post_Type", "A", "B")
Post_Type = "A"
MultiValue.SetList("Post_NoBolts", 1, 2)
Post_NoBolts = 2 ul
Post_BoltCrs  = 60 mm
Component.IsActive("LH Bolt") = True
Constraint.IsActive("LH Insert") = True
Component.IsActive("RH Bolt") = True
Constraint.IsActive("RH Insert") = True

End If

If Type = "B1" Then ThisDoc.ActiveModelState = "Type B-1"

If ThisDoc.ActiveModelState = "Type B-1" Then
	MultiValue.SetList("Post_Type", "A", "B")
Post_Type = "B"
MultiValue.SetList("Post_NoBolts", 1, 2)
Post_NoBolts = 1 ul
Post_BoltCrs  = 0 mm
Component.IsActive("LH Bolt") = True
Constraint.IsActive("LH Insert") = True
Component.IsActive("RH Bolt") = False
Constraint.IsActive("RH Insert") = False
Component.IsActive("Mount") = False


End If

If Type = "B2" Then ThisDoc.ActiveModelState = "Type B-2"

If ThisDoc.ActiveModelState = "Type B-2" Then
	MultiValue.SetList("Post_Type", "A", "B")
Post_Type = "B"
MultiValue.SetList("Post_NoBolts", 1, 2)
Post_NoBolts = 2 ul
Post_BoltCrs  = 60 mm
Component.IsActive("LH Bolt") = True
Constraint.IsActive("LH Insert") = True
Component.IsActive("RH Bolt") = True
Constraint.IsActive("RH Insert") = True
Component.IsActive("Mount") = False

End If

Anny help with this is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance for all the help.
