Hi,

Hi,

I am setting up door families and i have set up tick boxes called DP1, DP2, DP3, DP4, DP5 (DP stands for door protection) and i have another field called Type Protection and basically I want this field to reference back to the yes no DP1 to DP5 tick boxes.

So    if DP1 is ticked the Type Protection field should say DP1

      if DP2 is ticked the Type Protection field should say DP2

      if DP3 is ticked the Type Protection field should say DP3

      if DP4 is ticked the Type Protection field should say DP4

      if DP5 is ticked the Type Protection field should say DP5

      and if none are ticked it should say NO

Furthermore I want another field called Door Protection Height and i want to reference it back to the yes no DP1 to DP5 tick boxes.

      if DP1 is ticked the Door Protection Height should = 150mm

      if DP2 is ticked the Door Protection Height should = 300mm

      if DP3 is ticked the Door Protection Height should = 300mm

      if DP4 is ticked the Door Protection Height should = 400mm

      if DP5 is ticked the Door Protection Height should = 900mm

if any one could help i would appricate it.

Here is the answer I got that works from KarelCAD

"Brendan

Here is a solution for you:

For the Type Protection Field   =if(DP1, "DP1", if(DP2, "DP2", if(DP3,

"DP3", if(DP4, "DP4", if(DP5, "DP5", "NO"))))

For the Door Protection Height Field =if(DP1, 150 mm, if(DP2, 300 mm, if(DP3, 300 mm, if(DP4, 400 mm, if(DP5, 900 mm, 0 mm)))))
