HI,

I want to set condition between two restricted parameters for selection of value to explain sub category of part,

for example:

1st parameter "PART_TYPE" with a restricted value ( 'INHOUSE', 'BOUGHTOUT')

2nd parameter "CLASS" whith a value ("BED","BRACKET","HOUSING","BEARING","ORING","LM")

here I need another restriction on a value of 2nd parameter "CLASS" as follow

if "PART_TYPE" = INHOUSE

then permitted value of "CLASS" should be from bed, bracket & housing

if "PART_TYPE" = BOUGHTOUT

then permitted value of "CLASS" should be from bearing, oring & lm

awaiting for valuable suggestions from all members

with kind regards

Raymond,

I think that the solution is >>> create external application, which manages part parameters. You can implement whatever rules in this application.

Thanks Martin,

I believe that could be a solution. But my experience with an external application is nog so big. So I will trie to find the solution within Creo. Or you have to say how exactly you thought it should be.

Thanks anyway for your reaction.

Hi all,

The programming trick is to use multiple parameters with list values.

The user interaction even in this case is not going to be very intuitive but it is better then nothing...

Your parameters have to be structured like this:

CLASS_INHOUSE , values { 'BED', 'BRACKET', 'HOUSING'}

CLASS_BOUGHTOUT, values {'BEARING', 'ORIG', 'LM'}

The full restricted parameter definition should look like this:

{ Name = CLASS_INHOUSE

Type = string

Default = 'SELECT FROM CLASS_INHOUSE'

Enum = { 'BED', 'BRACKET', 'HOUSING'}

},

{ Name = CLASS_BOUGHTOUT

Type = string

Default = 'SELECT FROM CLASS_BOUGHTOUT'

Enum = {'BEARING', 'ORIG', 'LM'}

},

and you would have to set relations, something like this:

if PART_TYPE == "INHOUSE"

CLASS_INHOUSE= "SELECT FROM CLASS_INHOUSE" /* set to default value */

CLASS = CLASS_INHOUSE

else

CLASS_BOUGHOUT = "SELECT FROM CLASS_BOUGHTOUT" /* set to default value */

CLASS = CLASS_BOUGHTOUT

endif

This will allow the CLASS parameter to have a value restricted by PART_TYPE parameter, but the end user would have to make a conscious decision from which list the value is coming from and the initial value of CLASS ( taking the defaults from restricted lists) would point to where the next selection to be made.

HIH.

Feliks.
