Is it possible to set a minimum and maximum size limitation on a connector?
Here is the issue:
Create a round extrusion with a connector on the end of it. The extrusion will have a radius that will be linked to an instance parameter called "Actual Connection Radius"
Add the Connector on the end of the extrusion, and lock its radius to the same parameter, "Actual Connection Radius"
We will add an additional instance parameter just called "Connection Radius". You will be able to change this in the Properties dialog box in a project.
Finally we will set "Acutal Connection Radius" = if(Connection Radius < 2", 2", if(Connection Radius > 8", 8", Connection Radius)). This sets a maximum value for both the extusion and connector. And now load it into a project.
The problem arrises once the family is inserted into the project. If you click on the family after inserting it, you can change the connector size. At that point, you can type in whatever value you want, and it overrides the formula for "Actual Connection Radius", so the max and min are completely ignored. And in addition, the extrusion does not resize. Everything works great when you change the Connection Radius parameter through the Properties dialog.
Thanks
