Keyway suppression under 6mm

[Diequa]

I'm making a coupling file to speed things up on my end with 3d modeling.  So far I have gotten my bores to match DIN 6885 when they go above 6mm and have the correct keyways, below 6mm i have made a snippet that doesn't allow keyways to be generated. I have also gotten a form where I can select true or false on a keyway, but having that rule will allow keyways at the last size to be visible and selectable for the bores below 6mm, I'm not sure if I have to make another rule to run to disable the key rule from running when selecting under 6mm or if there is a way to do it directly in the key suppression rule.

I do have the Ascent student guide for iLogic 2018 and I got this far with it, but I'm not sure what I'm asking for is in the book.

You can do that without coding:

please take  a look at the modified part.

Thank you for replying, but I forgot to add I will be adding in Inch boolean selection with keys, this also needs to be on a form that will pop up when the file it opened for others within the company, I figured out how to do the form popup already.

But you could minimize your coding this way.
Inventor out of the box....

@Diequa,

Are you trying to update d1keyway and d2keyway parameters in Form as shown in below image?

Thanks and regards,

[Diequa]

Correct, but any key below a bore of 6mm cannot have one due to DIN 6885 not having a standard for a key at that size.

@Diequa,

Are you saying that both d1keyway and d2keyway are not available for bore below 6 mm? This is because DIN 6885 standard key is not available for bore below 6 mm.

Thanks and regards,

[Diequa]

Correct, I'm not sure on how to make it trigger something that will not allow keys under 6mm because at this point i have the ilogic to allow keys at the sizes specified in DIN 6885 but when i select the key for size 5mm it will make a key, i know how to use the message box if something is not allowed, but i dont know how to program it in to the ilogic on keyway

@Diequa,

iLogic form in part is modified to suppress key when bore dia is less than 5 mm. Part is attached with this part.

Thank you for your help chandra, unfortunately i won't have Inventor 2019 till May 4th, so I cannot open that file you provided.  would you be able to copy and paste the rule you used to do the key suppression?

@Diequa,

After updating bore diameter and clicking on "Key Suppression Terminator" button as shown in above image, "Key Suppression Terminator" rule is called and executed. This rule contains below iLogic code.

If d1 <4 Then
Feature.IsActive("d1key")=False
End If
iLogicVb.RunRule("d1 Keyway Size")
iLogicVb.RunRule("d2 Keyway Size")

This means that suppression of d1 and d2 key are handled based upon bore diameter.

that's almost what I need! Because I know that keys aren't available under 6mm but some of my colleagues don't know this, I will need the keyway termination to be automatic with a message that says keyways are not available under 6mm.

This will eventually be on Configurator 360, and with your help I have gotten the other sizes of couplings available on 360 site. This is the last one that is giving me trouble. The other sizes do not have bores under 6mm so it's actually much easier.
