Expressions to reposition components? NX9
Expressions to reposition components? NX9
(OP)
We are looking into creating a family part of some brackets. However, depending on which bracket is selected, some attatched components may need to be in diferent positions. Not just moved over, but possibly rotated as well.
Unfortunately, there seems to be a drout in expression knowledge here. lol
If anyone can point me to an article or video about creating expressions that reposition components, I would very much appreciate it.
Note: I would be repositioning standard components as well as details. So I wont be able to do anything to odify the standard components.

I was playing with it trying to make it work like you do the expressions in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BraJx4Xy_Gw but was not quite to getting it figured out. lol I may have been trying to make it more complicated than it is. I want to set up the spreadsheet in a family parts to allow the options to witch distance it places it. But I will have to wait til tomorrow to get it figured out.
I do appreciate your help. Thanks.
