AutoCAD Inventor :: Setting MultiValue List To Parameter
Jan 21, 2013
I have the following rule:
If OD=900 mm And Filter_Type = "Aerob" ThenMultiValue.SetList("FilterSize", 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5)End IfIf OD=900 mm And Filter_Type = "Donaldson DLM" ThenMultiValue.SetList("FilterSize", V3/7S, V4/7S, V8/7S)End If
For first condition everything is ok. But when the second one is valid it gives error:
Conversion from string "V3/7" to type 'Double' is not valid.
Maybe I should add that the parameter "FilterSize" was made as Text and multi-value.

How to populate an Inventor Multivalue PARAMETER using a For cycle in iLogic according to a variable index corresponding to a different number of array items?
for example:
i grab some data from a Rule and populate an Arraylist variable. I trace the number of instances using a counter. after the data acquisition I want to populate the Multivalue Parameter with the acquired values.
No problem browsing the Arraylist parameter: MyArraylist.(Index)... but what about the Multivalue parameter?
the MultiValue.SetList("Multivalue Parameter", Value 1, Value 2, ... , Value N) provide a defined number of data and cannot be set dynamically according to an Index.

I have a MultiValue Parameter that I want to populate using a named range from an embedded excel spreadsheet. I would like an iLogic solution if possible because I need other people to be able to understand the code without too much difficulty.
One of the sample snippets given allows access but not if the excel file is embedded.
'GoExcel.NamedRangeValue("Part_Width")
The code below works but not when using a named range.
' Load bearing housing typesMultiValue.List("parameter1") = GoExcel.CellValues("A1","A20")
Is there something I'm missing? I was hoping to use something like below
' Populate MultiValue Parameter from excelMultiValue.List("parameter1") = GoExcel.CellValues("3rd Party:Embedding 4", "Sheet", "myNamedRange")

I have a form with a multi value selection containing name vaules from an iPart.
I want to make a selection from the field in my form and swap out my iPart in the assembly for my selection.
I thought that something like:
Dim iFactory As String
MulitValue.SetListInComponent ("FileName:1", "Param name", "list of params.......")
Parameter("FileName:1", Param name") = "PK 407" 'could be any thing selected from the list of params..
iFactory=Param name
iPart.ChangeRow("iPart Factory File Name:1", iFactory)
Such that the part would be swaped out for what ever Param name = as a result of user selection.
I get the following error from this: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I try to filter an Excel List and therby fill certain Multivalue Parameters with the filtered data.
The filter works fine an provides me a string looking like the sytax for the MULTIVALUE.SETLIST command.
B6string = FilterReturn & Chr(130) & B6String = 75‚80‚250‚65‚45‚250
Unfortunatly this string gets exactly as ONE entry in the Parameters Value listing !
MultiValue.SetList("B6_Lochbild_Länge", B6String)
I also tried
MultiValue.List("B6_Lochbild_Länge") = New Integer () {B6String}
and also
B6string = Chr(148) & FilterReturn & Chr(148) & Chr(130) & B6String
with the same effect !

I have a Multi-Value Parameter "MV" that I want to populate using a Named Range from an Excel file that is already populating other parameters for the same file.
I currently have the file working by populating "MV" by using the snippet from iLogic below...
MultiValue.List("MV") = GoExcel.CellValues("filename.xls", "Sheet1", "A2", "A10")
The reason I don't like this method is because if ever that range changes... all the iLogic code will have to be updated as well. How to set a Multi-Value Parameter using a Named Range from an Excel file? I assumed the below snippet would work but I am receiving
"Array was not a one-dimensional array." as an error.
MultiValue.List("MV")=GoExcel.NamedRangeValue("Named_Range_Value")

I have an iLogic template part that has a multi value parameter. In this case the product code can be selected from a list of 4 codes. In futre we may need 5 and the 5th may need to be available to older parts.
I would like to avoid having to add the 5th as an option to every part we've ever made when the 5th becomes required.
I'd like to have the list of codes stored in an external file (Possibly an xml) and the template part reference that file to acquire it's list of available codes. That way I can add codes to the xml and all the files will have their list of available codes updated.

IV2012 API with VB:
How can i add an item to a Multi-Value-List of an existing User Parameter in Inventor2012 (Accessing API with Visual Basic) ?
My idea is for example:
uParams.Item(i).ExpressionList.AddItem(As String)
The problem is, that such a function "AddItem" doesn't exist.

Inventor 2012.how would I input the total quantity of doors in the .iam in order to update the Parts List quantity column? I have a lot of user inputs in the .iam file set up to change width, height, etc that are based off of Parameters in the .iam, but I don't know how the user can enter assembly quantities in order to get the Parts List to update the Quantity column correctly?
I have attempted using custom iProperties but how to get it to display based off a user input Parameter.

if it is possible to increase the number of recently used values/parameters in the dimension dialog, during part sketching. For one part, I use approximately ten parameters that will be used repeatedly. When I'm done with one sketch and start with the next, only the last five parameters are in the recently used parameter list. (Create dimension --> select arrow on right side of dialog, see attachment Dimension_Dialog.jpg, excuse me for the poor quality ). It would be much more comfort to have more parameters in this 'recently used'-list.
Furthermore I'd like to know if it's possible to widen the parameter-list. In my case I've several parameters that start with the same prefix, followed by a differentiating suffix. When I create a new dimension, select the arrow on the right and select 'List Parameters', I have to adjust the width of this dialog every time to see the entire parameter. (see picture Dimension_parameters.jpg)

I'm writing an input check function (check certain inputs to be positive, or within a certain range). I'm a mechanical engineer with basic coding experience, mostly with basic matlab experience (some c++), so I don't fully understand VB structure, classes, objects, etc.
I'm giving my function a mutlivalue list of the names of parameters, converting to an ArrayList, then using 'For Every Item" in array list If>my condition>then display input box. And I have it working, but probably not the "proper" way, though if it works, it works. My real question is if I can use a multivalue list of parameter names and create a sister MV list that contains the parameter values. Currently I have to hard code a MV list with quotes aorund the names, and one without quotes. I've played around with various ways of using multivalue.set/setlist, val(), CDblAny() and other functions, but always end up with either class mismatches, an MV list with a single evaluated parameter, or an exact duplicate of the original paramter name MV list.
Example of my brute force efforts:

how (if) I can set up my dynamic blocks so that I can set the parameter values as I insert the block, rather than with the grips afterwards?
To take a simple example; I have a block consisting of a rectangle, with 2 linear stretch parameters - length, width. Can I set it up so that when I insert the block, it asks for the length and breadth,just as it would for attributes.

I got a deadline for my project, but I got a big problem:
"I cannot set the "parameter" for the End Value in Parameter Animate dialog"
For easy understand, let's see a example:
1. I got a part which has two parameters named: "A" and "MaxA"
2. I animate Favorited parameter A.
3. The End Value is MaxA_ (Everything is ok)
4. I finish Studio environment, then I change parameter MaxA_ from 200 mm to 400 mm
5. I turn back to Studio environment, the End Value now is "200 mm" (I want this will be MaxA_, so I can animate the flexible parameter).
show me how to keep the end value will be "MaxA_" after I change parameter?

My viewport scale list only has metric and I would like to add a list of imperial scales for general use. So far I can only add, through Annotation Scaling panel and Scale list for an individual drawing so once it is closed I lose the scales.
how do I list my imperial scales permanently for use throughout the program.

I am trying to publish to the CC a guide rail. The vendor of the rail gives me the option of entering the desired length of the rail. After that he gives me the option to choose between the length that I entered and a shorter and longer standard length witch can be delivered faster.
I want to do the same thing with my published part, but I cannot make a key parameter to change depending on the entered custom parameter. I want the user to make the next steps when inserting from the CC: 1- select the size of the rail; 2-select the type of the rail; 3- enter the desired length of the rail; 4- choose between the desired length and the 2 recommended lengths (I need these 3 lengths to be shown)
Is this possible?

I set a dimension to a 2dline. The dimension is automatically added to Model Parameters. How can I find , by code, the line which length is driven by the parameter ? Or, starting from the line find the parameter which indicate its length ?
::GetDependents(), nor ::GetDrivenBy(), nor ::GetParent() gives me the answer.

Sometimes I change the dimensions of a material I use but then I have to open Iproperties and change the description by hand. This can create problems as you can understand especially when I forget to update the Iproperties.
Then I had the thought to automate it. Lets take a steel bar as example. I have thickness and width as parameter, both are exported and available under IProperties/Custom. But they show as 200 mm and 10 mm. I would like to loose the units. I tried also UL but then it reads 200 ul and 10 ul.
What I like to get are just the numbers, no units. I like to use it to create this "steel bar 200x10" where the 200 and the 10 are linked to the Parameter and will change when I change the dimensions av the steel bar.

I created a *.iam file. And from this asembly file, I need run some rules in *.ipt file.
I use
Parameter("PartA:1", "d12") = d12
to give d12 parameter in my assembly to d12 parameter in *.ipt. It works.
But I need get parameter in the *.ipt file after running the rules in *.ipt.
so, I put
d13 = Parameter("PartA:1", "d13")
following above line.
But everytime, I just be able to get the result before *.ipt run the rules, not after.
I noticed the rules in assembly were compeletely run, then run the rules in *.ipt. So, the result is not correct.

I've got a custom VBA function that works perfectly when called from a parameter in my part.
However, when in the context of my assembly, there is no error, but the function no longer runs, and the parameter text is red.
Apparently, the function is no longer in context?
I've heard of external rules, but have never implemented one.
Is there a way to declare my function and keep it in context regardless?
Public Function BumpHeight(dblHeight As Double, dblMember As Double) As Double Dim X As Integer X = 2 If dblHeight > dblMember * 2 Then BumpHeight = dblHeight Else BumpHeight = dblMember * X End If BumpHeight = BumpHeight / 2.54 End Function
Here is the Parameter:
VBA:BumpHeight(ValanceBackBumpoutHeight;ValanceMemberSize) * 1 in
Update: (problem better defined)
What seems to be happening is that once I insert the part into an assembly, it creates a new blank copy of the parts' modules in VBA and the functions no longer work.
If I go to the VBA editor,
There are now two copies of my part listed in the browser tree, but the new one is blank.
If I paste in my function to the new one, it will work until I return to the parent assembly.
Next time I come back to the part, it will have a new blank set of modules.
This appears to continue indefinitely...
see the attached screenshot.
At this point there are only 2 copies of the DocumentProject. The original still contains my functions, but the new one is blank.
I need these functions to work in order to build my model.
