The Positional Representations in an assembly document can change as you add or remove any of the representations. If you need to list the names of the representations in a combo-box inside your iLogic form, here is a way to do that.
Step-1 : Create a Multi-value user parameter of Text type. In the below example, we name this parameter as “PosReps”
Step-2 : In your iLogic form, drag the user-parameter created in Step-1. As it is a multi-value parameter, a combo-box will display its values
Step-3 : In your iLogic Rule, before you display the iLogic form, update the user parameter by iterating through the positional representation in the assembly document. Here is a sample iLogic rule that updates the user parameter named “PosReps” :
<span>Dim</span><span> oAsmDoc <span>As</span><span> <span>AssemblyDocument</span><span> </span></span></span> oAsmDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument <span>Dim</span><span> oAsmCompDef <span>As</span><span> <span>AssemblyComponentDefinition</span><span> </span></span></span> oAsmCompDef = oAsmDoc.ComponentDefinition <span>Dim</span><span> oPosReps <span>As</span><span> <span>PositionalRepresentations</span><span> </span></span></span> oPosReps = oAsmCompDef.RepresentationsManager _ .PositionalRepresentations <span>Dim</span><span> List() <span>As</span><span> <span>String</span><span> </span></span></span> <span>ReDim</span><span> List(0 <span>To</span><span> oPosReps.Count-1)</span></span> <span>Dim</span><span> cnt <span>As</span><span> <span>Integer</span><span> </span></span></span> cnt = 0 <span>Dim</span><span> oPosRep <span>As</span><span> <span>PositionalRepresentation</span><span> </span></span></span> <span>For</span><span> <span>Each</span><span> oPosRep <span>In</span><span> oPosReps</span></span></span> List(cnt) = oPosRep.Name cnt = cnt + 1 <span>Next</span><span> </span> <span>Dim</span><span> oPars <span>As</span><span> <span>UserParameters</span><span> </span></span></span> oPars = _ oAsmDoc.ComponentDefinition.Parameters.UserParameters <span>Dim</span><span> oPar <span>As</span><span> <span>UserParameter</span><span> </span></span></span> oPar = oPars.Item("PosReps") <span>Dim</span><span> oExprList <span>As</span><span> <span>ExpressionList</span><span> </span></span></span> oExprList = oPar.ExpressionList <span>Call</span><span> oExprList.SetExpressionList(List, <span>False</span><span> )</span></span> oAsmDoc.Update iLogicForm.Show("Positional Reps") Here is a screenshot of the iLogic form displaying the positional representations:
