Creating a configurable assembly with iLogic
iLogic rules can also be referenced in a top-level assembly or new rules can be created at this level. In this recipe, you will both reference existing part-level iLogic rules and create new iLogic rules in a top-level assembly to control the configurations of a lamp assembly.
The rule you will create will allow the user to automatically configure the lamp in Inventor in terms of the following aspects: lamp height, lamp length, sleeve color, base shape type, and part numbering.
An example of one of the configurations is shown in Figure 10.18, with labels that correlate to the features and references we will be using as part of the iLogic rule.
