Hi,
Instead of using kinematics, I am trying to create arrangements using move component.
1. I have basic sketch created by expressions. I linked coordinates to the sketch curves.
2. I have to edit the expressions to move the coordinates using the sketch.
3. This expression RHS value I stored in Dwg table.
Step 1: I collect all the coordinates default value to double list (This is where I have issue, after breaking the for loop, In the list all values double(0) is somehow getting modified to the last value of the for loop )
Step 2: Read the table, Create arrangement, Update the sketch, Select the matching coordinate, Move the components.
