Relations Help

[cem385]

I have a family tabled part that I'm trying to setup a relationship for. I've created a parameter called "CONFIG" In the family table I have 3 different cuts set to yes or no depending on the config you want. I'd like to be able to have my CONFIG parameter fill it self out with either 1, 2, or 3 based on what cut is set to yes or no. I'm not sure if I can do an if than statement and if a feature id can even be used in a relation.


example:


IF F1738=Y


THEN CONFIG=1


F1738 Is the id for the cut but proe doesn't recognize it

Thanks

Try with the following relations...


if exists ("par:fid_25:cid_12") CONFIG=1


endif





where exists ("par:fid_25:cid_12")controls if ID feature 25 into ID component 12exixts parameter "par"

Not sure about your intent here but cant you reverse it and drive your design with your"config" parameter using Pro/Program?


Example:


IF CONFIG==1
ADD FEATURE........
.....
.....
ENDIF


IF CONFIG==2
ADD SUPRESSED FEATURE........
.....
.....
ENDIF
