7.13.3.2.3.  Conditions

Whenever part variables shall orient toward one another, meaning an automatically running, proper built up of the assembly configuration shall be ensured, Conditions have to be defined. Otherwise unfitting configurations are possible due to improper row selection, as can be seen in the following image.

    HINGEDUMMY@L  = WING1@L
HINGEDUMMY@L  = WING2@L
HINGEDUMMY@D1 = BOLT@D
HINGEDUMMY@L  = BOLT@L

    [Note]Note

    When specifying conditions, refer to the dummy starter part - if possible.

    For this use the Variable browser. In this way it is ensured that correct names are used in any case.

    1. In the input field of Condition 1, call the context menu command Choose variable....

      -> The Variable browser is opened.

      HINGEDUMMY@L = WING1@L

      HINGEDUMMY@L = WING1@L

    2. In the column Parts determine the part and in the column Variables of part the variable.

    3. Repeat the procedure for Condition 2.

    Result:

  4. Confirm with OK.

    -> Below of Conditions the condition is inserted with the given name and marked with the "if" icon.
