iLogic Error "the unit name is not valid in Inventor"

[phillip.shields]

Hi,

I'm getting a strange error with my iLogic code running parameters in my assembly.  When I have one "if....then..." my rule runs fine. Even two statements work.  But for some reason when I get to a certain number of statement I get an error: I've attached some sample code and snapshots of my error screens.

If FLANGE_STYLE_BOTTOM = "2in 150 BFV" Then

This looks like a good opportunity to try out the "Select Case" statement.

There may be a limit to the number of Else If's.  I haven't yet hit the limit of Select Case.

Select case FLANGE_STYLE_BOTTOM

 Case "2in 150 BFV"
    Parameter("RD FLANGE:1", "OD")="6"
    Parameter("RD FLANGE:1", "BC")="4.75"
    Parameter("RD FLANGE:1", "HOLE_SIZE")=".75"
    Parameter("RD FLANGE:1", "NUB_HOLE")="4"

Case "3in 150 BFV"
    Parameter("RD FLANGE:1", "OD")="7.5"
    Parameter("RD FLANGE:1", "BC")="6"
    Parameter("RD FLANGE:1", "HOLE_SIZE")=".75"
    Parameter("RD FLANGE:1", "NUB_HOLE")="4"

Case "4in 150 BFV"
    .
    .
    .
End Select

I suspect that it has something to do with this bit : 

Else If FLANGE_STYLE_BOTTOM = "16in SHICK BFV" Then

Parameter("RD FLANGE", "OD") = "19"

Else If FLANGE_STYLE_BOTTOM="20in SHICK BFV" Then

Looks like you dropped off the occurrence name ID. If so, it should probably be : 

Else If FLANGE_STYLE_BOTTOM = "16in SHICK BFV" Then 

Parameter("RD FLANGE:1", "OD")= "19"

Else If FLANGE_STYLE_BOTTOM = "20in SHICK BFV" Then 

 

Also, assuming that your parameter 'OD' is not a text parameter, you could leave off the quotes, making your code look something like : 

Else If FLANGE_STYLE_BOTTOM = "16in SHICK BFV" Then 

Parameter("RD FLANGE:1", "OD")= 19

Else If FLANGE_STYLE_BOTTOM = "20in SHICK BFV" Then

Thank you for the quick response but I think I found my problem. If you look back the original code I posted in line 91 of my code right before my "16in SHICK BFV" line. the occurence "NUB_HOLE" = "12. I FORGOT MY OTHER QUOTATION MARK. I will be using that select case though. I feel like that may come in handy.

Thank you  for your response. In the process of taking off all of my quotation marks I found the problem. I was missing a second quote after my 12. From now on I will just leave them off of numbers.
