desactivate bodies and feature with rule

[sbmjpb]

hi everybody,

do you know how to create a rule to desactivate all bodies and features contained in a part without selected all features one by one?

thanks

not a solution, but left click on the first feature, press and hold shift, left click on the last feature (that you want to deactivate). then right click on any selected feature, selected objects, deactivate.

Hi,

Same action described by Loki you will have with a CATScript like bellow:

Language="VBSCRIPT"

Sub CATMain()

Dim partDocument1 As Document
Set partDocument1 = CATIA.ActiveDocument

Dim selection1 As Selection
Set selection1 = partDocument1.Selection

selection1.Search "Name=*Body*,all"

Dim selection2 As Selection
Set selection2 = partDocument1.Selection

selection2.Search "CATPrtSearch.MechanicalFeature,sel"
CATIA.StartCommand "Deactivate Terminal Node"
End Sub

Regards
Fernando

The macro Ferdo supplied is the way to go. A rule can be executed multiple times and this could slow your process.

Perhaps you want the features locked as deactivated?

sorry gents, I was unabble to respond.
I have read all suggested respond but what i want to do is to desactivated a body and all features contains on it.
I have a skeleton of my system on a part with all body including boolean operations and i have create some parameters to desactivate some bodies to modified to final design of the system.
to avoid troubles with bodies I need to desactivated bodies whose are not usefull.
I dont't know if a rules can be launch a vb script as suggested by fredo.

You could set it up like this using parameters with rules.

The rule or formula will activate/deactivate the bodies.

Expert rules:

b:body

b.Activity = False

Where is the problem?

[sbmjpb]

itsmyjob, can you put a condition in an expert rule?
for example

if boolean.1 == false
(
d.Ativity = false
}
else
(
d.Ativity = true
}

 

[itsmyjob]

did you try?

[sbmjpb]

yes but I cannot select the boolean parameter to write the condition
