Condition Manager

Tasks can have conditions applied to them which are evaluated before the task is run. The conditions are setup using the same drag and drop style that tasks are added with. Conditions will be listed under 'Pre File Open' or 'Post File Open'. This shows that the condition will be evaluated either before or after the file is opened in SOLIDWORKS. This is for performance to ensure files are only opened if necessary, as such a failing 'pre file open' condition on all tasks will prevent the file from being opened.

Conditions must pass for the task to be run on the file. In the example above the Value Comparison task is being used to ensure that the task only runs if the Revision custom property is A.

Conditions

• Exists in Directory
  • Checks if the file exists in a given directory (or sub directory of it)
• Sheet Metal
  • Checks if the part contains any sheet metal bodies
• Structural Member
  • Checks if the part contains a structural member feature
• Value Comparison
  • Evaluates a value and compares it with the expected value (supports special variables in both cases)
• Weldment Feature
  • Checks if the part contains a weldment feature
