Link 2 Parameter Property Lists

Hey, I have been stuck trying to create a parameter for this instance.

I have a UNITS parameter column with predefined parameter properties aka "values" list

I then have a PURCHASE parameter column which also has predefined parameter properties aka "values" list.

 

The only connection I want, is that when the UNITS value is set to "REF", I then want the PURCHASE column to display a "-" (aka dash)

 

Placing the following string is the closest I've got so far...

If UNITS="REF"

PURCHASE="-"

ENDIF

 

But this appears to just be a check and notifies me when they are off.

I just want to be able to use my value drop down on the UNITS or PURCHASE parameter freely with the exception that when I select "Ref" in the UNITS column, the PURCHASE column automatically switches to "-"

 

This seems achievable right?

 

If it helps, my UNIT values are just: EA,  REF,  PKG,  X and the PURCHASE VALUES ARE: N/A,   X,   -

 

Thanks in advance!

    A single '=' sets the value on the right to the variable name on the left.

    A double "==" does a comparison or a check for the value of the variable on the left to see if it is equal to the value on the right.

    You are in the wrong forum.

     

    PTC has two CAD systems:    Creo Parametric    and     Creo Elements Direct.

     

    Which makes it confusing.

     

    More, for Creo Elements Direct:

    - The 3D software name is Modeling, and

    - The 2D software name is Drafting.

     

    For Creo Parametric, use only this tab:

    You need a double equal sign to make an if clause. Try:

     

    If UNITS=="REF"

    PURCHASE="-"

    ENDIF
