Hello All,

 

I'm trying to automate a process in an assembly context where in following steps are needed:

1) Based on trigger (like start of script execution) - a window pops-up allowing user to enter parameter values in mm and deg (I think GenScript allows that)

2) Then depending on parameter values, insert respective CATParts into the already opened CATProduct (the trick is those parameters shd get linked to one in CATPart (with same names) and update the CATPart accordingly)

3) Position CATParts based on parameter values

4) Create primary drafting views like front, side etc.

5) Generate sections based on existing planes and reflect same in the drawing file

 

My initial querry is if it is possible thru GenScript or is VB a good choice for the same. Any added suggestions are more than welcome...!

 

Thank you.

hi,

You can do this in VB, and I do not see any problems to program something like you described above.
I've made let say similar application, for automatically positioning the parts in assembly based on Axis System, not like you described above, based on some parameters, but the result will be the same. You can program the link between the parameters i.e if you for example make a formula, and you can program this in VB as well. Programing some views, and sections in drawing can be also made in VB, ... Let say, it will take a little bit work to do this, depending on how complex will be your solution , but from my point of view, and my experience, you can do this in VB.
