Logical Test Identifying Type of Parameter

Logical Test Identifying Type of Parameter

Logical Test Identifying Type of Parameter

(OP)
Hello all-

I was wondering if there is a way to write a logical test in Pro E 4.0 relations that would allow me to perform different actions based on the parameter type. For example: If a parameter called NAME_1 is a string type then it would perform one action but if NAME_1 were a real number type then it would perform another action. I doubt the existence of such a command as this cannot be a common inquiry but thought I'd give it a shot. I am tasked with writing a mapkey that can quickly update old parts to our new standard and this has become a roadblock for me.

Also as an aside, does anyone have a reference documenting the purpose and syntax of each function in Insert > Function... inside of relations? I have been able to find some but not a comprehensive list.

Thanks for your time

RE: Logical Test Identifying Type of Parameter

I can't help much with respect to the first question but might be able to help with some reference material for the relation functions. Go to PTC support website and search for TPI 146615 and/or 146618. They are PTC documents on relation functions. Helped me out a lot getting started but I haven't needed anything beyond those listed.

Hope that helps,

RE: Logical Test Identifying Type of Parameter

I would have thought you could search for parameters but at least in WF4, they are not available in the search function. Very strange since you can show them in the model tree. Maybe newer versions will let you search for a parameter by a parameter type. If it's not there, submit an enhancement request, given PTC's commitment to user satisfaction it should show up in less than a decade.
