drawing program multiple states
Hi all,
I have been trying to get this drawing program to work out, but it seems that it has gotten the better of me.
So here's the deal, I have an assembly that has about 7 different configurations. Only about 2 of these are children, and the others can be any number of combinations.
For example
( i will refer to the parts as letters and the states as numbers)
parts: a, b, c, d, e, f, g
possible states: a, ab, abc, abcd, abcde, abcdef, abcdefg
b, bc, bcd, bcdf, bcdfg.... and so on and so forth....
so here is my question.
if i define a state (a) as all the root parts plus an extra view (a),
then another as state (b) as all the root parts plus an extra view (b)
...... and so on..
can I do this?
if a
set state (a)
else if a & b
set state (a)
set state (b)
else if a & b & c
set state (a)
set state (b)
set state (c)
else
set state (z)
endif
() are just extra that wouldn't be the actual name of the state.
* I get the feeling that the drawing program can only set one state at a time but I can't find much documentation online about this.
maybe i might have to nest?
if a
if a & b
if a & b & c
set state (a)
set state (b)
set state (c)
endif
set state (a)
set state (b)
set state (a)
else
set state (z)
endif
so yeah anyone that could help me out getting a handle on this drawing program thing I really would appreciate it.
If this example isn't clear i can be more descriptive if necessary.
thanks for reading
