ilogic skips replace

Hi all, 

 

When i do a replace function with ilogic to change parts in several sub assemblies ilogic skips one assembly.

The first 3 assemblies work fine, only the 4th one is skipped. 

when the code is run a second time the last assembly is modified. 

Has this something to do with the capabilities of inventor?

for each replace inside a subassembly the code is copied, so i don't think this should be an error in inventor or ilogic.

I build in a counter so the code is run twice in one go, and then it works, but this shoudl be possible to do in one go i think.

@Anonymous,

 

Can you please provide non confidential model data to test the behavior?

unfortunatly not, it would take a lot of time to strip the assembly down to only the problem subs.

i found the solution.

It appeared that i first needed to loop trough all the occurences in the main assembly to find the sub i wanted to change parts in.

It was the order in which it found the subs that was wrong, so it would not update a sub when the rule had past the code where it needed to change parts.

 

Kind regards,
