Hello everyone,
I am building an automation for web based PDM application where I need to update attributes of individual parts and assign those parts to a specific family tree. The family tree selection has to be made according to the type of part I am modifying. The tree is as shown in image below.
If the part is to be assigned as a Hexagon nuts coarse pitch, then BOT should take the following path:
Mechanical → Fasteners → Nuts → Hexagon nuts → Hexagon nuts coarse pitch (double click on it)
Whereas, If the part is to be assigned as a Lock nut, then BOT should take the following path:
Mechanical → Fasteners → Nuts → Hexagon nuts → Lock nut (double click on it)
I am supposed to add parts to all sub families and the input changes every time. Is there any way I can make such selection from a family tree? What could be the logic for such a program? Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks for reply. If it was a simple drop down menu, it would be easy to make it dynamic like you explained. In a family tree like what i have shown, You need to click on ‘+’ sign to access the branches within and the branches are in multiple levels. How can we tackle a tree like that? Since this is web based platform, would it be possible to simulate clicks of internal branches without actually expand the trees?
I hope there would be a standard solution for this since family trees are a common element in web platforms.
If the innermost/last branch of your tree is an html link, I would suggest that you just get the direct links to them and use a “Switch” activity. Example:
