Is there a way to do this ?

I have 2 length parameters, a and b

IF a==1 THEN b=[1,2,3] discrete dropdown values
IF a==2 THEN b=[4,5,6] discrete dropdown values

I am trying to copy the behaviour in NX or CREO where you can have some part with a bunch of parameters and after you select all the correct values with dropdowns (considering that some are dependent on the previous parameters) you remain with only one "configuration".

Thanks!



Best regards,

I am doing it with KWE reaction;
and lists... depending on the choice of A [1 or 2] I make up a list (CorrList) with correct items. ( if A==1 {...} else {...} )
I then assign that list to the multiple valued parameter B, using B.AuthorizedValues=CorrList

+1 for LWolf's approach.

Also consider using design tables as they are specifically used to manage configurations.

Another way to do it is with VBA macro and custom-drawn form.
 
Thank you for your answers!

I settled on a more simple (but not elegant) approach of using a design table and slicers in excel to choose until only one configuration is valid.
