Hi,
I would like to validate a dynamic component attribute field, such that it should take value between 600-900 mm.,I.e the width of the cabinet. Somewhere I read in the forum, but unable to get back.
Can someone help
Thanks
=largest(60,smallest(90,length))
where length could be current(“lenx”)*2.54 or an some other input

Thanks Philip
Hi.,
But the formula in the DC vanishes, when i input the value in the Component options dialog

Of course it does. The formula goes into the LenX attribute, and it calculates its value based on what the user inputs into the A1_Width field.
hi
referring to another thread by philip. where the lenx is the current attribute field, which validates the data and retains in the field itself. (which i am trying to emulate) (option-01)
Another option provided is referencing another attribute, ( Height) (Option 02)
Both works correctly in that skp file of the thread.
But for me the first option fails. where i am making mistake.
Current is best reserved for the inbuilt attributes, with the custom ones it returns a different value.
For custom attributes current returns the object reference, so if I had a group of attributes
val1,val2,val3
then
=current(“val” & num) would return the one of the listed attributes based on the num if it is either 1,2 or 3 otherwise an error
I added another attribute to recieve the input. then filtered that with the conditions

hi.,
thanks.,
is this the field added A1_WIDTH_S?,
You are right, I used a temporary attribute first, then replaced exist
I did this morning before work then forgot what I had done before posting this afternoon.
