Using relations to set family table values

Using relations to set family table values

Using relations to set family table values

(OP)
Hi

Does anyone know if it is possible to set the YES/NO values for features in a family table, using relations?

Currently, I am assigning dimensions according to conditional statements and would like to do the same with the features themselves, but am unsure if this is possible.

Thanks

RE: Using relations to set family table values

You add the concerning features in the family table, then edit the family table and put N for the feature you don't want to appear in the instances. Attention to the feature's children ! They will disspear too if they are related to a table suppressed feature.

RE: Using relations to set family table values

(OP)
Thanks for the reply Hora. Currently I am working with the family table in the way you suggested, but am wondering if this editing of the table can be automated using relations.

I have relations in the part that set dimensional values according to an overall dimension value that varies between instances. An example might be:

IF d10 < 1400
d62 = 600
ELSE
d62 = 800

Where d10 is the varying (between instances)overall dimension, and d62 places a feature at a given position.

I wondered if it may be possible to include another line in the conditional statement that may set the Y/N value of a given feature at the same time. I am hoping this may reduce manual editing of the family table.

Any ideas?

Thanks again

RE: Using relations to set family table values

Res,

You cannot add a conditional statement in a family table. But you can add your d10 parameter in the family table and you can give it specific values.

Keep the relation

IF d10 < 1400
d62 = 600
ELSE
d62 = 800

in the generic and the instances will update the d62 value.
