Link between Level of Detail and Positional representation via ilogic

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I have made Rule to link LOD and Positional representation and its working fine. But problem is every time I have to run the Rule manually even I have set 'Event Triggers' but rule is not running automatically. My Requirement is when I change LOD, as per Rule Positional representation should change/update accordingly & automatically. Any Solutions??

Rule:

SyntaxEditor Code Snippet

Dim oAsmCompDef As AssemblyComponentDefinition
oAsmCompDef = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument.ComponentDefinition

If oAsmCompDef.RepresentationsManager.ActiveLevelOfDetailRepresentation.Name = "Master" Then
oAsmCompDef.RepresentationsManager.PositionalRepresentations.Item("Master").activate

Else If oAsmCompDef.RepresentationsManager.ActiveLevelOfDetailRepresentation.Name = "437.5" Then
oAsmCompDef.RepresentationsManager.PositionalRepresentations.Item("437.5").activate

Else If oAsmCompDef.RepresentationsManager.ActiveLevelOfDetailRepresentation.Name = "762" Then
oAsmCompDef.RepresentationsManager.PositionalRepresentations.Item("762").activate
End If

I think you have it set to the wrong event trigger.  When you change levels of detail it isn't changing any model parameters.  Assuming that you have something suppressed in the level of detail, I think that the Component Suppression Change is the correct trigger to use.

Or you can use the representation events...

The only issue is you would need to add a class module that fires on startup (or on an event trigger like OpenDocument) that would start the RepresentationEvents tracking so that you can properly enable the event - or some similar method to get it working.
