form feature in regeneration pro/program

form feature in regeneration pro/program

form feature in regeneration pro/program

(OP)
I would like to put a formed feature in pro/program that needs to be regenerated by a parameter called "size".
The form feature changes length "d1=2.000" when "size=1" and "d1=3.000" when "size=2".
The base part of the form is programmed to the above values but I get failure placing the "execute" statement in the part where the form is used.
Normally a simple execute statement will allow a part to reconfigure a dimension but I can't seem to get it to work on a formed feature. Any ideas???

RE: form feature in regeneration pro/program

Another way may be to create two separate features (from 2 unique form parts) and then add if..endif statements to the Pro/Program.

RE: form feature in regeneration pro/program

(OP)
I thought about that and even thought of just installing the different instances of the same form feature. But I am driving other features (mounting holes etc.) with the same parameter so I figured it would be easier to simply use one feature and regenerate it with the parameters.

RE: form feature in regeneration pro/program

In this situation I would add some datum features to reference the mounts from (independent of the form), and then drive those from your parameter as well.

It would make sense for the Execute function to work.. but.. you can't win 'em all.
