iLogic Rule is not populating custom Parameters

[Shag_Bore]

I have a rule that I am trying to manipulate around the randomness of the flat pattern, My other post here

I have added 2 place holder parameters called TEMP_EXTENTS_LENGTH and TEMP_EXTENTS_WIDTH, these are populated from the snippets in the sheetmetal area. 

I created a simple greater than less than rule to give me a result so the the longer edge would then populate the custom parameter EXTENTS_LENGTH and the shorter edge would populate the EXTENTS_WIDTH parameter. This seems like a lot of extra work but if you read the linked post, for some reason the flat pattern changes when altering the part and I want my parts lists to display the longest edge as length.

Here is the code, there are no errors, however there are no results or changes, the EXTENTS_LENGTHS and EXTENTS_WIDTHS parameters remain unchanged. 

TEMP_EXTENTS_LENGTH = SheetMetal.FlatExtentsLength
TEMP_EXTENTS_WIDTH = SheetMetal.FlatExtentsWidth

x = TEMP_EXTENTS_LENGTH
y = TEMP_EXTENTS_WIDTH


If x > y Then 

EXTENTS_LENGTH = SheetMetal.FlatExtentsLength &  EXTENTS_WIDTH = SheetMetal.FlatExtentsWidth 

ElseIf x < y Then 

EXTENTS_LENGTH = SheetMetal.FlatExtentsWidth  &  EXTENTS_WIDTH = SheetMetal.FlatExtentsLength 

End If

Hi @Shag_Bore.  Your code appears to be formatted incorrectly.  You only use the '&' symbol for piecing together sections of a String, not for consecutively setting values to numerical values.

This is how it should be formatted.

TEMP_EXTENTS_LENGTH = SheetMetal.FlatExtentsLength
TEMP_EXTENTS_WIDTH = SheetMetal.FlatExtentsWidth

x = TEMP_EXTENTS_LENGTH
y = TEMP_EXTENTS_WIDTH

If x > y Then 
	EXTENTS_LENGTH = SheetMetal.FlatExtentsLength
	EXTENTS_WIDTH = SheetMetal.FlatExtentsWidth 
ElseIf x < y Then 
	EXTENTS_LENGTH = SheetMetal.FlatExtentsWidth
	EXTENTS_WIDTH = SheetMetal.FlatExtentsLength 
End If
