Relations with Instances (family table)

[zepp]

Could someone help me please?





I need to know the syntax of this if clause.





If instance.name == part1


d1=0


If instance.name == part2


d1=2


endif

IF [STATEMENT]


D1=0


ELES


IF [STATEMENT]


D1=2


ENDIF


ENDIF

The string parameter REL_MODEL_NAME holds the name of the model.

In you case the relations would be:

If REL_MODEL_NAME == "part1"
d1=0
Else
If REL_MODEL_NAME == "part2"
d1=2
Endif
Endif

Unfortunately I don't know the name of the parameter that holds the name of the generic.

Should I erase the ELse?


Would be:

If REL_MODEL_NAME == "part1"
d1=0
If REL_MODEL_NAME == "part2"
d1=2
Endif

You can erase the ELSE, then it would be:


If REL_MODEL_NAME == "part1"
d1=0
Endif
If REL_MODEL_NAME == "part2"
d1=2
Endif


But what should d1 be if the model name is not part1 or part2? d1 would remain unchanged. A good program would have a default condition like:


If REL_MODEL_NAME == "part1"
d1=0
Else
If REL_MODEL_NAME == "part2"
d1=2
Else
d1=?
Endif
Endif
Endif

Why would you not just put the values in the family table?

Why would you not just put the values in the family table?

I have one file with 130 Instances and inside of the Main Generic has 8 Sub_Generics. The family table ofthe Main Generic has 23 Groups of features (columns).





I agree with you, but for large family tables andto organise the file, Idivide itin two groups:


- Relations with Dimensions;


- Family Tables with Groups of features.

You have to put the name of the file *.prt.

Howcan I find a list of string parameters for WildFire?

Ok, but the proe has more stringsthan 2 or 3 examples...does it has?

Search this web site and others like if for examples. These functions have been around for a long time and have been thoroughly explained:

This level of Pro/E use requires study over time plus experience to understand and master. Good luck.
