Auto Create

Components on Insulation Run at Interval

Configure this constraint to automatically create multiple components at intervals along insulation runs.

Usage

Copy

Repeat Other Component with Part Number/code Part Number/Code on insulation run matching <any> and length between 0.0 and 0.0 at interval 0.0 from Center Point

Arguments

Click the colored arguments to configure the constraint. Red hyperlink arguments are mandatory, and green arguments are optional.

See “Auto Create Component Constraints Overview” for argument configuration information common to all Auto Create Constraints.

Argument	Description
CopyOther Component	Use to specify the component type you want to create. Default entry is Other Component. Click to display a list of available components. Choose from Other Component or Spot Tape.
CopyPart Number/Code	Use to configure various ways to specify the part number for the component you want to auto create. Note If the component type you have selected to auto create is Spot Tape, a popup menu displays to choose from all valid Object Type Information spot tape insulation codes. Click the argument to display a popup menu: Edit or New — Opens the Text Expression Dialog Box, to create or edit a query expression to drive the selection of the part number. In the Text Expression dialog box, click the Advanced Editor button (), to open the Edit Query Expressions Dialog Box and create or edit advanced queries. Queries are scoped to Insulation Run. Part Selection — Opens the Part Selection Dialog Box to set a specific part number to use. If the component type is Other Component, you can select any group components from the Value dropdown list. A predefined query from the list. See “Query Expression Context” to filter items in the list.
Copy<any>	Use to specify a query expression condition to drive the selection of the associated matching object. Click the text to open a popup menu: Edit or New — Opens the Condition Dialog Box, to create or edit a query expression. In the Condition dialog box, click the Advanced Editor button (), to open the Edit Query Expressions dialog box and create or edit advanced queries. See also “Query Expressions”. {any} — Click to apply to all matching objects. Select a predefined query from the list. See “Query Expression Context” to filter items in the list.
Copy0.0	Use in a range to specify lengths to drive the selection of the bundle or insulation runs, and to specify position interval / offset values for component placement: Length — Minimum / maximum values for bundles or insulation runs. If values are 0.0, the process considers all. Offset — From junctions or ends. Interval —Spacing along the bundle or insulation.
CopyCenter Point	The location from which the auto placement will apply intervals: Center point — Center of the bundle where the components will be created first. Start — Start of the insulation run. End — End of the insulation run.

Examples

This constraint example places spot tape with part number SPOT-PET-19 at 60 mm intervals from the center point of all slit tubes.
