Syncing and Saving the Product Definition and Base Model

You can then test the forms behavior as defined by the code blocks by entering values and choosing options to see if the form is working as expected.

You can test any set of values currently applied to the form against the Inventor model by clicking set model values. Do this as much as needed to ensure the Inventor model updates as expected when generating different configurations.

Save and close the product definition if you need to make changes to the Inventor model.

Updating the Inventor model parameters and then returning to the product definition presents a situation where the model and product definition are no longer in sync. Here, the product definition has an opening width of twenty two point two two two. A sill height of fifteen and an opening height of seventy, while the Inventor model has an opening width of thirty six. A sill height of twenty four and an opening height of thirty three.

We can use the get model values button to resynchronize the product definition to the latest parameter values as they are set in the Inventor model.

Going the other direction, we can use the set model values button to update the Inventor model to the latest parameter values as they are set in the product definition.

Use the reset to defaults button to set the values in the form back to the default parameter values.

As shown in the parameters tab.

Default values of the product definition parameters are set at the time of parameter adoption from Inventor.

Or reset every time you use the get model values button.

Before publishing, It is important to ensure the parameter values are the same in the Inventor model, as well as the product definition parameter tab and the form in the product definition rules tab.

You should also ensure the Inventor model and product definition have been saved with the latest parameter changes before publishing.

In summary, when making changes to the code blocks in the product definition rule tab, you can use the update form button to see those changes.

Use the set model values button to push changes from the form in the product definition rules tab to the Inventor model.

Use the get model values button to pull parameter updates from the model.

Use the reset to defaults button to reset the product definition to the adopted defaults.

Ensure the parameters are in sync across the model and product definition and that the Inventor model and the product definition are saved before publishing.
