Hi All.

Is it possible to define color and layer definition with power copy paremeter?

Hi. All.
or, How can I define power copy's color and layers in this dialog box (parameters tab)?

Hello,

Layer and Color attributes in Knowledge language allow to set those properties for mechanical objects. So you have to create user parameters that control those properties, include those parameters in Power Copy definition, and publish them in Parameters tabs.

Hi;
Do you have an example

No sorry. Did you try?

Hello,

I don't have CATIA in front of me right now, so I make this from memory without trying and proofing, but I have done this couple of times, here is color change by atributes.
1) First create a parameter (MyColor) type String, that has as Multiple values all wanted colors (let's say Green, Yellow anf Grey)
2) Then create a rule that looks like this:

If MyColor=="Grey"
ElementThatneedsTChengeColor.Color=Grey
else if MyColor=="Green"
ElementThatneedsTChengeColor.Color=Green
else if MyColor=="Yellow"
ElementThatneedsTChengeColor.Color=Yellow
3) When creating powercopy, just Publish this MyColor parameter.

I think that you can use also RGB values for more exact color definition, but should wrok with just color names also.
Maybe this even works for common colors so that you create a simple relation: ElementThatneedsTChengeColor.Color=MyColor
- but there parameter type change from string to definition of color might not work, never tested that.
