Controlling other expressions with one expression 2

[ChaseWichert]

Hey, is there a way that I can use an if statement, and if p3=1, it will change p4 to 7 and p5 to 9, and if p3=2, it will change p4 to 3 and p5 to 12?

Sure, can you get onto the NX doc? If you can then look up "conditional expressions"
Maybe do a search in here for those two words too.
You will be able to write an "If-Then" statement for those.

I really wasn't able to find anything like I am talking about, I dont think.

I kind of want to add an expression like this

if(test=1)(e=32 & q=23) else (e=36 & q = 58)

Does that clarify any?

somewhere half the post it gets interesting for you.

Using IF statements, your set of expressions would look like:

p3=1

p4=IF (p3==1) THEN (7) ELSE ( IF (p3==2) THEN (3) ELSE (0))

p5=IF (p3==1) THEN (9) ELSE ( IF (p3==2) THEN (12) ELSE (0))

And starting with NX 8.0 you now have another and perhaps more elegant option and that is the new 'nth' expression, in which your set of expressions would look like:

p3=1

p4=nth(p3,{7,3})

p5=nth(p3,{9,12})

In either case, changing p3 from '1' to '2' would change p4 from '7' to '3' and p5 from '9' to '12'.
