Action for a Characteristic (Example)

You can define actions so that the model selected always determines which handlebar is selected. For example, a racing handlebar is always selected for a racing bicycle.

You create an action for characteristic Model.

1. On the Class screen choose the tab page Characteristics . Select the characteristic Model and call the function  Characteristic  Change  . 

2. Choose the tab page Values.

3. Select the value Racing bicycle.

4. You want to create a local dependency for this value. Choose  Extras  Object dependencies  Editor. 

5. You see a dialog box for selecting the dependency type. Select Action as type of object dependency .

6. Confirm your entry.

7. You see the dependency editor. Enter the following source code:

8. $SELF.Handlebar eq ‘Racing_handlebar’

9. Save your entries.

As soon as you assign the value Racing_bicycle to characteristic Model, the action assigns the value Racing_handlebar to characteristic Handlebar.
