There is very little documentation on this.
I have a simple block (in wiring diagram) with 5 ports on it. Each port has a Label attached to it (labels are not attached to the block but to the ports)
I run single fibers to each port. I want the Port to grab the "color" parameter (or any parameter) from the wire and that calculated parameter will be pushed to the text label. It should be easy right?
Thanks in advance!
Patiently waiting....
Hello Pete,
Here is the parameter you need to create :
the first attribute (forward/reverse) is not important here as the wire color does not depend on the fiber orientation
the second attribute defines the type of diagram you're using
the third defines the name of the parameter you want to collect from the wire
the last parameter is set to 0 so the system search the color on the highest member of the connected object (does not matter here as we only have simple wires connected
Once this parameter is created, simply add it to the ports of your connector and make sure the checkbox to calculate the value is checked.
Hope this clarifies the definition
You need to make sure that the fiber has an orientation (double click on it then you should see a menu to activate the fiber orientation or to reverse it if already oriented :
Hope this helps
