ilogic help

[tim.kindtKA284]

Greetings,

For efficiency purposes I started diving into ilogic, having basically no experience in VB.

I have myself in this current situation. 

I have a machine assembly that has a left and a right model. (but not an exact mirror)

Instead of setting about 50+ constraints to True or False individually, is there a way to simplify this process ?

I was thinking naming all the constraints "Right 01, Right 02,.... , Left 01, Left 02,..."

And finding a way to change the state of all constraints starting with "Right*" and "Left*"

Could this be done ?
If so, with what command ?

Other ideas are also appreciated. 🙂

Hello @tim.kindtKA284

You will be better off posting this in the  Customization forum.

This is for iLogic.

Hi,

Make the design as if it has both sides in it.

Than use suppression to make the left or the right visible only.

To my opinion this is easier to handle!

if you have questions please do not hesitate!

[tim.kindtKA284]

I understand there are easier ways to do this outside of ilogic.

But there are a bunch of different variables on the machine besides the left/right model.

It's a machine that is added in larger assemblies on a daily basis. 
That's why I want to make this in ilogic with added forms.

Hi,

I assume that you make the suppression with illogic!

[tim.kindtKA284]

I suppose I could do that.

Thanks.

Just out of curiosity then:

Is there a way to set a rule like I intended on using?

Changing multiple constraints like that ?

Or a way to group them ?
