Question

Derived Parameters

  • October 23, 2024

Are there any additional default system functions to be used for creating derived parameters other than the following:

dg_inherit_from_ancestor

dg_inherit_from_connected

dg_derive_from_enclosure

dg_derive_indirect

dg_derive_indirect2

dg_derive_as_label

 

Can any of these be used to propagate a property value from one port to another?

 

Thank you.

Also, feel free to add any additional information you think might be relevant. It sometimes helps to have screenshots to better understand what you are trying to do.

After further investigation, my issue is not as specific as my initial request.

Should I continue to explain what it is that I'm looking for in this thread, or start a new thread more specific and detailed to my issue?

I'm struggling through this right now.

If you have a fiber connecting two ports, you can use dg_inherit_from_connected(forward, wiring, name_of_parameter, 1) to take a user defined parameter from the connected port, and dg_inherit_from_connected(forward, wiring, name_of_parameter, 2) to take the parameter from the connected parent of the port.

I can't figure out how to get the port's name however.
